The House voted 240-187 on Tuesday night to officially condemn racist language from President Donald Trump in a motion that was supported by four House Republicans.

Trump on Sunday directed a series of tweets at Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Illhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, saying the four congresswomen of color should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

Ahead of Tuesday's resolution, different members of Congress, including some Republican lawmakers, criticized the President's rhetoric and condemned it as racist, but Trump has stood by the attacks, saying, "I don't have a Racist bone in my body!"

Susan Brooks is retiring from the House. Even tho this is her last term she still heads some kind of election group for women GOP I believe.

.......... There are many in this Nation that base their entirety of their foundational beliefs and decisions upon what the Media spews out in the moment of an event ..... NOT .... Upon the true facts that arise after the Propaganda subsides .....

They were not racist tweets.

It doesn't matter. The media says his tweets were racist, and some people will believe whatever the media tells them to believe.

The lie fits their narrative. They need to believe the lie.

Fred Upton is maybe the most dangerous two-faced RINO in the House.
Been a powerful member of the Steering Committee for years while sabotaging every conservative proposal to come along.
Hope this is his last term.

These people are Vichy Republicans, and they are not the only ones in Congress.

A felicitous turn of phrase!

Trump is helping the goats and the lambs to self-sort.

Love how CNN’s headline matter-of-factly deems the tweets racist. No bias there. Ha.

I'm frankly shocked that no Illinois Republican's voted for it.

Oh wait, do we even have any Republican's left here in Illinois??

The only one I’ve heard of is Upton, who is the father of the regulations outlawing incandescent light bulbs and the uncle of model Kate Upton. In other words, a complete boob who is an uncle to, well, you get it.

Brooks recently announced her retirement from Congress; One RINO down! IN-05 is a fairly safe R district.

As yet, the other three stooges have not filed to run in 2020? Only Upton is in a fairly safe R district.

Fitzpatrick and Hurd I can understand because they’re in marginal seats. But Upton and Brooks are in safe seats. I wonder why they voted for it?
