Pelosi announces resolution condemning Trump for racist tweets

By Heather Caygle and John Bresnahan, Politico, July 15, 2019:

House Democrats are drafting a resolution to condemn President Donald Trump’s racist tweets against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other high-profile freshman congresswomen, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday.

The Democratic response comes as Trump continued to disparage Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her progressive colleagues, Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — all women of color — in a series of tweets and extended comments to reporters Monday.

Pelosi said Trump “went beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language” on Sunday, telling the four congresswomen to “go back” to the “crime infested places from which they came.” His further attacks on Monday were the final straw.

“This morning, the President doubled down on his attacks on our four colleagues suggesting they apologize to him,” Pelosi wrote to House Democrats. “Let me be clear, our caucus will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and freshman Rep. Tom Malinowksi (D-N.J.), who was born in Poland, will draft the resolution, according to Pelosi. It’s unclear when the House will vote on the measure and the speaker did not specify in her letter.

“One step at a time,” a senior Democratic aide said when asked about vote timing.

“The House cannot allow the president’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in condemning the president’s xenophobic tweets,” Pelosi wrote.

Trump ignited a firestorm on Sunday with his controversial tweets, implying that the four congresswomen were not Americans. Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley and Tlaib were all born in the United States. Omar emigrated to the U.S. as a Somalian refugee in the early 1990s and became a U.S. citizen at age 17 in 2000.

House Democrats – who spent the last week bitterly divided and publicly feuding over internal divisions – quickly joined together to denounce Trump as racist and demanding he apologize. Instead, Trump dug in, elevating the controversy more on Monday.

“When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said. So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!” Trump tweeted Monday.

Trump continued later Monday, refusing to back down and reiterating several false claims about the four lawmakers, including that they “hate our country,” “hates Israel” and “hates Jews.” The president also rebuffed a tweet by Ocasio-Cortez that Trump’s comments were “hallmark language of white supremacists.”

“It doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me. All I’m saying, they want to leave, they can leave,” Trump said.

The president also criticized Pelosi, saying that her assertion that Trump wants to “make America white again” with his comments is actually “a very racist statement.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) defended Trump, saying the four progressive congresswomen “are a bunch of communists, they hate Israel, they hate our own country,” in an interview on Fox. But he also urged the president to “aim higher.”

“They are American citizens. They won an election. Take on their policies. The bottom line here is this is a diverse country,” Graham said.

Many other Republicans were silent on Trump’s remarks Sunday, although some GOP lawmakers slowly started speaking up Monday after the president doubled down on his comments.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio said Trump’s tweets “were racist and he should apologize.” Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) saying he was “appalled” by the president’s remarks and Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) urging him to “immediately disavow his comments.”

“There is no excuse for the president’s spiteful comments – they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop,” said moderate GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska).

The Trump-created controversy couldn’t come at a more critical time for House Democrats, who left the Capitol last week struggling to move on after a messy public spat between Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez dominated the week and brought to the surface ideological, generational and racial tensions that had been simmering below the surface for months.

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said Monday that Trump’s comments and tweets inspired him to force a vote on articles on impeachment sometime within the next week. Green, a longtime impeachment backer, forced similar votes in both 2017 and 2018, but the measures were defeated each time.

It’s unclear if Trump’s racist tweets will compel any other House Democrats to publicly back impeachment. More than one-third of the caucus supports launching impeachment proceedings against Trump but the movement has slowed in recently as lawmakers await former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before the House, now slated for next week.

The House resolution condemning Trump’s remarks will reference part of Ronald Reagan’s last speech as president in which he praised immigrants coming to the U.S., according to Pelosi.

“If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost,” Reagan said.

Oh, did Trump disparage Candace Owens? If so, please quote him to substantiate your claim. Oh yeah, and give your reference- I want to trust, but verify, your claim.

No, from what I have seen, Trump once again used harsh, divisive rhetoric of the sort that I think is inappropriate for POTUS to use. But he disparaged people who malign the USA (and Israel) while attempting to remake it in the image of the failed societies of their ancestry. Their color was irrelevant.

AOC is as “progressive” as Maduro.

Trump is responding in-kind to the racist taunts of these four, and nearly every black, arab, muslim man and woman in the government. So he gets called a racist — because they’re feral, hysterical, irrational savages.
They’re NEVER going to let “slavery” die, even while our country is the only country to fight a brutal, bloody Civil War to eradicate slavery — AND, the slave trade was the best thing that ever happened to most of the lunatic negroes in this country who have become wealthy beyond anyone’s wildest dreams because they are here in the US.

The usually sensible Monica Showalter has an interesting take on this tempest in a teapot. She thinks Trump had Pelosi in his crosshairs when he made those tweets:

Start with this Nancy…

..Pay close attention to Ayanna Pressley’s comment about ‘brown and black people’ and their voices, she does not want to hear.. And, we are the ‘racists’?

This was very painful to watch..

Omar demonstrates her profound ignorance (seriously), and her foul mouth betrays her underlying hatred for America and Americans… She is POLITICAL TRASH, as are they all.

Omar being a Muslim is using America as her soap box just like Linda Sarsour to spread their vile hatred of democracy and promote Islamic ideology with her stupid head gear. She smiles all the time so as to fool the left wing idiots, so as not to portray the evil messages that come from her sick mind. This is how Muslims treat their host countries. She is not American and never will be.

Okay, Pelosi, you and your tagalong Jihadists are the actual racists, anti-Semites and unmitigated traitors of this Constitutional Republic. You have the mendacity to criticize the President for speaking the truth regarding the seditionist, subversive elements in your party. You, however, have chosen not to condemn Ilhan Omar and other Muslims within your party for their outlandish hatred. These mentioned, the procurers of Hate-Mongering of Americans, whether they be Jews, Christians, or anyone not of the Islamic Cult of Hatred and Apocalyptic tenets. They face no consequences for their bigotry and pro-Jihad rhetoric.

Somalia is a horror. Our country took in Ilhan Omar and she has the nerve to slander our country when her country is a disaster as Trump rightfully points out. She should go home and fix her country. Lots of luck with that. It’s much easier to slander America where nothing will happen to you if you do.

There’s a series on NETFLIX everybody should WATCH – called ” DESIGNATED SURVIVOR”
There’s a “9-11”- type bombing in Washington. The CAPITOL is DESTROYED – The President, all of the Senators and Congressman are dead – there’s NO GOVERNMENT. The “Designated Survivor” is the new “President”, appointed to take charge and restore “order” – played brilliantly by KIEFER SUTHERLAND. Interestingly, he’s an INDEPENDENT, politically, and he takes the MIDDLE GROUND. This was perfect for me because I believe we need to get out of these rigid MINDGAMES of ‘democrat’ and ‘republican’. This is just the first episode. It’s 3 – 4 years worth and WELL WORTH your time. One of the BEST TV series I have EVER seen! Especially for me – a musician and writer – who knows virtually NOTHING about politics.
Very ENLIGHTENING!

This resolution makes it official. Trump and his supporters are now declared by the Commiecrats to be “racists.” Trump really enjoys taunting these simple minded charlatans that are now officially Pelosi’s adopted daughters. The Commiecrats have fallen into Trumps’s trap and the “squad” are now the official mascots of the Commiecrat Party.
