The Congressional Black Caucus, a formidable bloc of lawmakers with a big say in the fate of President Donald Trump and his legislation, Monday sent him a terse, clear message: We don't think you understand us at all.
The caucus' chairman Monday urged cancellation of next month's highly anticipated meeting between White House officials and leaders of the nation's historically black colleges. And he plans to have the 49-member caucus meet when Congress returns in two weeks to discuss whether to back Democratic-led efforts to impeach Trump.
Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., the caucus chairman, said the president's remarks after the deadly Aug. 12 protest in Charlottesville show he has no commitment to the schools or the African American community.
Richmond said the caucus was outraged by Trump's assertion of "blame on both sides" for the violent rally dominated by neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
"You can make an argument based on pure competency and fitness to serve, and that's the conversation the caucus will have," Richmond told reporters in a conference call Monday. The caucus includes 46 House Democrats, Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah.
"Am I concerned about high crimes and misdemeanors?" Richmond asked. "Absolutely. Am I concerned about this president's fitness to serve? Absolutely."
Republicans control 52 of the Senate's 100 seats, and 240 of the House's 435 seats, and there's been no GOP talk of impeachment.
Trump has received heavy criticism both inside and outside of government for not forcefully condemning neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the immediate aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville.....

Hell some members wanted him impeached before he even took office. Maxine Waters for one. I would not call this news.

I'd like to know what the White caucus has to say about this.

The White Caucus is laughing at them.
This is a comment on a McClatchy version of this same story:
“...And what exactly did the BLACK POTUS do for their “community” in the 8 years he had control? Let me answer that.... He did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! He never cared about you..... he isn’t really one of you.....he used you and then ignored you......and what did you do?
You went and voted for the fake black man again..... and what did you get for your loyalty? You got and man and his wife who had vacations that you will never be able to afford even if you went low-budget.... they put their children in extremely exclusive private schools where your children will never be able to attend..... they threw lavish parties with their black entertainment friends and you weren’t invited unless you were parking cars.... they called to “save our girls” and never lent a helping hand to find them and get them back from those animals that kidnapped and abused them......they embraced their white friends because they had more influence than their black counterparts..... he did NOTHING to create jobs in your communities..... he did NOTHING to improve your schools...... you and your communities remain the same..... and somehow Trump is the problem?
Bahahaha.... morons...”
Wonder how many packs of smokes Zerobama sold Cedric Richmond's punk @ss for at the Man's Country gayboy sex club? Cedric the rentboy was the punk that mocked Kellyanne Conway.
Cedric needs to keep his mouth busy with his work - fluffing Zero & pervo Uncle Joe Biden.
where were they during the dark period of the last 8 years...no doubt in the dark or in the pews of a church in Chicago raising chickens!
37% of all babies aborted in America are Black. 12% of Americans are Black. That is 300% their proportion of the population. Yet these idiots continue to support those funding their own genocide. Simply unbelievable.
You fellas don’t understand US. Don’t start something you can’t finish, bro.
