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.

Big deal they’ve called him racist from day one
Kate Upton——Her uncle is U.S. Representative Fred Upton. Voted against Trump today.
Not her fault. Nothing to forgive.
“....go back to the places they came from....”
That’s not even what the president said.
He said they should go back to the countries they came from, fix them, and then come back here and show us how it’s done.
Lying a**holes, the lot of them.
Thanks for the info.
>>> Brooks is retiring and the other three Republicans are considered vulnerable for re-election in 2020. <<<
All of them (the retiring one included) are more concerned about their positions than trying to do the right thing. [Their excuses will always be they tried to represent their district, not their personal fortune.]
Wet noodle Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania just north of Philadelphia (near my state, Delaware) can be counted on as the weathervane. No backbone and no principle, still early in his political career. However, I wouldn’t doubt if the direction of the wind changes, he might pull an Arlene Specter.
They better be 'vulnerable' now - we need to remember these names come 2020.
Wheres the base?
Whos Kate Upton?
Wm Hurd of Texas. Lotta nerve calling himself republican
23rd district
El Paso. Rio grande gateway from the 3rd world
Texas lawmakers pshaw
Like they have nothing to do with this (Greg Abbott and Lt gov Patrick excluded - I hope)
stretches across the southwestern portion of Texas. It is a predominantly Hispanic district and its current Representative is Republican Will Hurd.
What has Congress done for the American people since taking office? Now they have worked to divide the country even more.
They have no solutions or accomplishments. They only have hate for Trump. Not enough to win anything!
The article does say. You have to click on it and read it. That said, Ive never heard of a single one of these people before now.
Democrats are liars and hypocrites.
Filed under "eye wash."
The Liberal are clueless about who is to blame for doing/saying whatever they find offensive.
A chick with big tits.
“this man is a disgrace to the millions of Poles who suffered under Communism”
That was my thought. Bet he’d be reeeel unpopular back home. Would bet that Trump, like Reagan, is pretty popular in Poland.
President Trump’s remarks were not racist. President Trump is not a racist.
