House Dems to vote on resolution condemning Trump

(16 Jul 2019) House Democrats are planning a vote on a resolution that condemns President Donald Trump's racist comments about four congresswomen of color. The proposed measure says Trump's words "have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color." One of the co-sponsors of the resolution, Rep. Jamie Raskin said it's "it's un-American to tell people to go back to their country." A defiant Trump followed his weekend tweets about the women going back to their "broken" countries with remarks Monday that they should get out of the U.S. "right now." All are American citizens and three native-born. Trump also shrugged off the criticism his remarks have drawn, saying that many people agree with him and "love it." Some Democrats have also called for a resolution to censure the president for his remarks. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who is one of the co-sponsors of the censure resolution, condemned the president's remarks saying, "dissent is patriotic."
