WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump pressured fellow Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday to support him and vote against a symbolic measure condemning his racially charged attacks on four minority Democratic congresswomen.
Their criticism has been muted. But the House vote will force them to either stand against their party’s leader, who has strong support among conservatives, or effectively defend him. Trump has a history of what critics consider race-baiting. He led a movement that falsely claimed former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and he said after a deadly, white supremacist-led rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the incident.
Trump’s attacks on the four progressive congresswomen - known as “the squad” - have been viewed as an effort to divide the Democrats, who won control of the House of Representatives in 2018 and have the power to thwart his legislative agenda. Trump has also sought to highlight divides within the House Democratic caucus, where leaders have struggled to work with the progressive newcomers, straining party unity.

Can we just fire him and get it over with so the world can continue. Remember the good old days when racism and white supremacy and bigotry was hidden and people pretended it did not exist. Trump has proven us all wrong. firetrump
heatherdcoleman Unfortunately he won't care one iota. He's never cared.
This Trump character is not only an American problem , he is a global problem
LoL!! What attack. The dude was speaking the truth. Majority of the House are all Bought and Paid meat puppets..
From now on we should call Trump the resident not president. A person making such comments does not deserve the title of president and resident gives a bit of an illegal atmosphere to him living in the White House.
VERYFAKENEWS Trump said absolutely NOTHING about anyone's color. MelaninMania2020
Thank you President Trump, and keep up the fantastic work! When are the creepy radicals in the House going to condemn the recent Antifa terrorist attack on the ICE facility in Tacoma and the criminals who replaced an American flag with a Mexican one?
Absolutely ridiculous!
So glad we took all that time on that vote when they could have just tweeted their condemnation. They earned their paychecks today well done Congress 👏🏻
Antisemitism is ok by The House. Anti-American sentiment and propaganda spewed by this plague of a squad is ok too apparently. Calling out the bigots is racist now. ImpeachIlhanOmar AntiSemitism ImpeachRashidaTlaib ImpeachAOC
Lol
Democracy is good for a lot of things, but when votes are required to reach a consensus on racism, I begin to question its efficacy.
Bsssss We condemn democrats for allowing g these ffff bbbbb do what their doing No demfk in off
But will it make a difference? He'll still be president and still be idolized by a bunch of idiots. God help us.
No good without the Senate 🤣🤣
Nancy tried to take the squad out of focus and trump put them back in. Too easy to manipulate.
What a BS! Yet, those assholes did note to condemn Northam short while ago, or the witch herself IlhanMN for open anti-semitic remarks... this DemocRatic House is a disgrace of our country..
That’s a shock. Dems vote to condem Trump. Pure DC bullshit!
MORE: Four Republicans join every Democrat in condemning Trump over 'racist comments'
“Impeachment Lite”
Ohhhhhhhh noooooooo
Glad they are voting on something
3 years in to his presidency and they still haven’t caught on to the fact that he plays them like a fiddle...and they fall for it each and every time.
Got my vote
Who supplies these headlines? Last time I checked realDonaldTrump said NOTHING about race
And....
What does this do
Big deal.......
Ok. He was out of line but what does this accomplish ? I wish government had some control alt delete buttons because we need a reset or defrag. Wow. What a waste of time.
When it comes to playing the Race Card the Democrats have a full house. Why have Democrat’s always stood on the platform of racism and division? Race is a construct of racists and only racists constantly refer to skin color. How after 200 yrs can anyone still be voting (D)?
We love this tremendous man.
Who cares. It’s just partisan politics. SpeakerPelosi doesn’t care about racism. She condones the JVSquad’s blatant raging anti-Semitism. Nancy and the rest of the DNC are a bunch of Jew hating racists.
wait, why does the House have to 'vote' on this? Asking for a friend.
Yes !
🙄🙄🙄
LMAOOOOOOOO of Democrats House. Not the co gross entirely. FakeNews
Maripuerta Not “the majority of House” the House voted.
He was voted on the platform of; 'Let's make America, Free of Blacks Again!' So expect many more of such similar racist attack as election draws closer.
It wont matter in two years he will still be president they won't vote him out
Big fucking deal.
Wendys_Garden Good to see all those republicans who were so up in arms about Omar’s words and demanded her to be censured votes with integrity and honor in denouncing Trump hate
ImpeachRacistPresident
Now what?
Congrats! To Racist Of The Century - RacistPresident realDonaldTrump Next round of votes Impeachment!!! Thank you 😊 SpeakerPelosi democrats HouseDemocrats
Trump is a great Russian asset , I mean really , look at him picking fights with every one and wining nothing , I mean I really think he should stay in power for ever and ever ,,
Pathetic! Pelosi can’t control the ultra UnAmericans in her own party!
Meaningless!
Hey, , WHITE is also a COLOR.
So , what’s gonna happen ?!
Will the CENTRICS risk outing themselves? POTUS. george_clinton. Paint the Whitehouse Black.
And if only such a measure drew concern from the right instead of celebration of hate and ugliness, then these efforts by a Democratic majority in the house might mean something.
Victory!
When they should really be voting on the real issues but noooooo.... This is such an embarrassing crock of shit
This won’t stop him!
We'd rather have an infrastructure plan & immigration reform but yeah let's waste time, money & integrity with minutiae like tweets. Yep makes perfect sense🙄
Breaking News:
How's about you just vote him out completely already?
It wont change his base.. and many liberals are dropping out of their side like flies... Pelosi is an idiot.... there was no racist remark.. they should go back to where they came from... not a nation... the gutter... Trump2020
Kudos to the 4 Republicans that voted Yea.

Politics as usual. Means nothing.
What attacks? The racist democrat attacks on President Trump?
Yippee.
you misspelled racist attacks on women of color
Good thing he attacked their ideals and hatred of America not their color then!
Wow the Democrat Titanic has just hit the preverbal iceberg today! They’ve all just taken a full left rudder before impact and are now throwing anchors to those drowning.
GOP GOPLeader suppose we’ll see who sells theirs souls to daddy realDonaldTrump in just a few. 16 months left to attempt to repair the party ending damage daddy has caused. Tonight would be a good start.
Traitors, Rebels, Deviders, Haters, they have no love for Democracy. They have no love for America, one even banned the pledge of Allegiance. Traitors!
The move should be to condemn the four female bigots!
When r they going to condemn pelosi violation of house rules?
Look I dislike him as much as they do, but why not ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING THAT MATTERS? Symbolic bullshit!
The UnAmerican Squad! Hope they and their followers are all sent off in 2020!
The new faces of the bigoted left.
house is a joke
Go hughlaurie Nice to here you TV show is back on, although the ideas department might need a kick in up the arse.
Keep it up! The more you idiots keep playing romper room, the less opportunity you have to screw with Americans through stupid policies.
The House is weak and unpatriotic....they love lies, embrace evil, exalt anything and everyone that is controversial..
MobSquad GoAwAyOC
put them in charge of your business and watch the money pour out
How about they condemn their attacks on our President, their Anti-Semitism, sympathizing with terrorists or maybe their despicable comments about 9/11? That won't EVER happen though now will it?
Any American of Irish or Italian descent speaking out against these women should be ashamed of themselves. What do you think your grandparents and great grandparents heard the moment they stepped foot in this country? “Go back to where you came from.” This shit is not right!

I daren't say this move to condemn Excluding Words from an Elected Administrator are ONLY about Squad. There are many American Citizens who FitTheBill as accused of expressing their concern + dismay w/ American Rhetoric in 2019 - as in recent Accusations of LindseyGrahamSC
SenateGOP HouseDemocrats HouseGOP DO THE RIGHT THING. CALL THESE RACIST COMMENTS BY TRUMP OUT. Do not be weak or afraid of trump’s bullying anymore. Do the right thing and the country will come together.
These four scarecrows are not worth attacking
We love everyone of you ladies. Say it loud, say it clear, you all belong right here
HE HE
Send the JihadSquad packing. America deserves better.
They really need to start impeachment and quit playing games! ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
What is the point of a 'symbolic' gesture....fuck all thats what!
