House to vote on resolution condemning Trump for racist tweets
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced a resolution condemning Donald Trump for his racist tweets (which some loyalists have insisted are NOT racist…).
The Guardian and The Washington Post, amongst others said that the Democrats are drafting the resolution today.
“This weekend, the president went beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language about Members of Congress,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to House Democrats announcing the party’s plans, Politico reports.
It’s unclear when the House will be called to vote on this, following an avalanche of attacks by Trump on freshman congress members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar.
But Pelosi said: “This morning, the president doubled down on his attacks on our four colleagues suggesting they apologize to him,” she added. “Let me be clear, our Caucus will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks.”
