The House on Tuesday voted to formally admonish President Trump, approving a resolution condemning as racist his tweets targeting four minority congresswomen.
The 240-187 vote fell largely along partisan lines, as GOP leaders had rushed to the presidents defense in whipping against the measure.
Just four Republicans broke with party ranks to join every voting Democrat, revealing the extent to which Trumps incendiary remarks had jarred Capitol Hill and forced even some of his closest allies to denounce his behavior. Six Republicans missed the vote.
Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.), who recently left the GOP over differences with Trump, also backed the resolution.
rumps remarks saying the progressive lawmakers should go back to the places from which they came sparked a flurry of outrage, with Democrats briefly uniting to push back against the attack despite recent divisions between various factions of the party spilling into the public.
The resolution was led by freshman Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), who is white but was born in Poland. He argued it was a necessary step to push back against racist rhetoric from the White House.
Even if we may disagree on the details of immigration or border policy, racism is wrong, it is un-American, Malinowski told The Hill.

The only ones to make any mention of race or skin color were Democrats.
Most people don’t like Congress.
They are stupid and evil.
Now the Dems hand it to the MSM to spread but never explain
Congress contains at least 240 racists.
Make America Great Again
or
Make America a Sh!thole
Has Congress/ done anything as of note for the future good of this country.
All they have done is attack the President. This is pathetic for crying out loud
Is the district conservative? Who is running for her seat
“Just four Republicans, Reps. Susan Brooks (Ind.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), William Hurd (Texas) and Fred Upton (Mich.), broke with party ranks to join every voting Democrat, revealing the extent to which Trumps incendiary remarks had jarred Capitol Hill and forced even some of his closest allies to denounce his behavior.
These four back-stabbing Never Trumpers could hardly be considered to be “some of his closest allies”. With friends like these, who needs enemies? Still, it is nice to know who exactly is siding with the Enemy.
I never heard of Rep Malinowski until now.
As a proud Polish-American, this man is a disgrace to the millions of Poles who suffered under Communism.
They were busy rushing to get to the studio makeup rooms for their appearances on MSM panel shows as loved and honored guests saluted for their "courage."
One will say in his memoirs: "To think Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney warmed that very chair with their rear ends once."
Whee was their vote for their bigoted comments from their party members?
The important thing for our domestic enemies is that Big Media will publish this large for them.
FOAD domestic enemies, AS ALWAYS!!!!
Double Secret Probation....
And not a moment too soon.
Thanks. Actually I am surprised only four defected. This is actually good news.
I was overjoyed to take note that 98% of House Republicans remained 100% loyal to POTUS Trump. The few Scum & Vermin Republicans that sided and voted with the Democrat America Hater, Low Life scum & vermin will burn in Hell with SATAN for all time!!! Go, Trump...the overwhelming numbers of American citizens and voters are behind you....100%.
