    Default Trump Condemned For Racist Tweets In Extremely Rare House Vote. Republicans Join In..

    The President stepped into it this time:

    "What did the resolution say?

    The resolution "condemning President Trump's racist comments directed at Members of Congress" quoted US founding fathers and former presidents.

    Immigration "has defined every stage of American history", it said, adding that "all Americans, except for the descendants of Native people and enslaved African-Americans, are immigrants or descendants of immigrants".

    It also noted that patriotism is not defined by race or ethnicity, "but by devotion to the Constitutional ideals of equality, liberty, inclusion and democracy".

    How significant is this?

    There have been only four congressional votes to approve resolutions aimed at censuring or condemning a president, according to a 2018 report by the Congressional Research Service.

    The last occasion was against William Howard Taft in 1912, when he was accused of trying to influence a disputed Senate election."

    BBC: US House condemns Trump attacks on congresswomen as racist

    "It passed by 240 votes to 187.

    Four Republicans and the House's sole independent, former Republican lawmaker Justin Amash, joined all 235 Democrats to approve the resolution

    The four Republicans were Texas congressman Will Hurd (the party's only African American representative), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Fred Upton (Michigan) and Susan Brooks (Indiana).

    Passing a resolution - which is a statement of opinion and not legally binding - criticising presidential conduct is very rare. "

    Some Republicans tried to lash out at Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for calling the tweets racist, but that was quickly quashed.

    It makes a YUGE spiritual difference.

    Trump's mouth has gotten him into trouble, now.

    He has been officially cut down.

    He thought he could say anything and get away with it.

    The message has now been sent to the world that the official House of Representatives from all over the USA

    DISAPPROVES Of THE PRESIDENT'S INCENDIARY MOUTH.

    And Oh, what a pleasure it is to see that made official.

    He has been publicly face-slapped.

    About TIME!

    Wrong, Snowflake, the radical Democrat Socialists and 4 dumb Republicans sent a message. The rest of Congress did not.

    It is meaningless to Middle America and does not help American workers.

    It is basically horse mierda and the rules of the House had to be broken to produce this mierda.

    I think we should always be respectful...We'll have to agree to disagree on this one...
    Somewhat...
    He could have been more respectful, for sure, but he wasn't "racist"...the "ladies" needed to be called out for their vile, vicious disrespectful remarks...and they were...
    That's what people will remember...They were the ones publicly face slapped with the late night circus performance in the House For their Incendiary mouths They were over-the-top disrespectful...I hope they keep it up though....
    They're going to help him get reelected you know...

    Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), now known as the Ringo Starr of the so-called "Squad," is, like the other members of her far-left girl group, a raging bigot. While they go into spasms of outrage over President Trump's stupid tweet, we must bear in mind that, when it comes to denouncing bigotry, none of these four have a leg to stand on — especially Pressley, who now proudly owns one of the most absurdly bigoted statements we've heard from an American politician in decades.



    Speaking at a progressive political convention a few days ago, Pressley launched into a diatribe that would surely end her career if she belonged to a different political party or political movement. To the sound of exuberant applause, the new Ringo declared: “We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice.”

    Are you as offended by this?

    Interesting, you and the media are making it about "women of color" and not a matter of debate on policy. Why is that? A lot of people are sick of the four congresswomen and the things that they said about this country.

    I am say you, the four congresswomen, and the media are over hyping that for political gain. It is obvious you are using identity politics and a lot of people are tired of it
