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 president’s defense in whipping against the measure.
Just four Republicans broke with party ranks to join every voting Democrat, revealing the extent to which Trump’s 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.
rump’s 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.

WOW!!!
The dems have finally accomplished something for the American people for the first time in 2 years. /.sarcasm
People should want to fire everyone of these dems because they haven’t done anything in over two years. They have zero accomplishments.
Slander is unbecoming of Congress and certainly is not representative of the will of the people.
I look forward to the total wipeout of the Democratic Party in 2020.
Does this now go on to the Senate.. Might as well see who the RINO’s are there.
Mitt are you there????
Well said. Congress is a freakin’ joke.
The democrats should all just delegate their votes to one person...
since they always vote in lock-step, there is no need for all of them to be there.
This condemnation and $6 will get you a cup of joe from Starbucks! Blah, blah, blah, blah!
Upton. That’s the POS that essentially got rid of old fashioned incandescent light bulbs.
Why is he still in Congress?
So perhaps now the Senate should sanction the House ?!?
Bait taken, bait swallowed, time to set the hook! :)
And not one condemnation of Omar or AoC or the rest of the squad they made actual racist and hate speech remarks
Democrats condemn Trump.
*************
But no opprobium whatsoever for Omar for her blatant anti-Semitic remarks.
Its obvious what’s going on here.
“Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-People’s Republic of Poland [defunct])”
Just read up on this worthless twit from Soviet Poland.
His stepdad was an even more worthless CBS Communist VP.
His mommy got outta the Socialist Paradise back in ‘65 and spent the next 30 years trying to convert our country into the one she left.
Let’s send him back too. Maybe he can go to Belarus, it’s still basically a Commie craphole. The Poles would probably hang him now.
I wouldn't be surprised if one wasn't Susan Brooks from my state of Indiana. She's from the district on the north side of Indianapolis, one of the most affluent places in the state. She originally ran as a Tea Party Conservative and has gone totally left in that the last couple of years.
What have these rat bastards accomplished legislatively?
I’m pretty sure PDJT will not lose sleep over this.
EFFIN Hurd from Tx voted with the rats!!!!! I WILL DO ALL I CAN TO HELP DEFEAT THIS MFER!!
I was right. Here you go: The four Republicans lawmakers are: Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan and retiring Rep. Susan Brooks of Indiana.
Seems like POTUS just tied the “squad” around the dems neck. Perfect !
