Breaking: Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote on a resolution condemning “the president’s xenophobic tweets.”
President Trump's racially charged taunt that four congresswomen of color"go back" to the"places from which they came" has unified Democrats just as they were facing one of their most serious fractures since taking control of the House.
On Monday, Trump continued his attacks on the women, tweeting: “If Democrats want to unite around the foul language & racist hatred spewed from the mouths and actions of these very unpopular & unrepresentative Congresswomen, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.” Republicans were silent over the weekend, an acknowledgement of the power of the Trump brand ahead of the 2020 election. The few elected Republicans who regularly spoke out against Trump in recent years have largely left office.
On Fox, Sen. Lindsey Graham declined Monday to criticize the president, saying only that he should “aim higher.” Graham instead attacked the women as communists and anti-American. Just last week, tensions between Pelosi and some members of the “squad” were high. The speaker, in a closed-door House Democratic caucus meeting, blasted Democrats – and their staff members – for airing publicly their grievances with other Democrats.
