Pelosi announces resolution condemning Trump tweets
By Emily Tillett
Updated on: July 15, 2019 / 2:04 PM / CBS News

As fallout continues from President Trump's tweets telling a group of Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to their countries, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is looking to counter the president's comments legislatively by introducing a resolution to officially condemn Mr. Trump's remarks.

In a letter to her Democratic colleagues on Monday, Pelosi wrote that Mr. Trump "went beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language about Members of Congress." Mr. Trump targeted freshmen Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar in his series of tweets on Sunday.

"Let me be clear, our Caucus will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks," she urged.

While light on details, the legislation is co-sponsored by Rep. Tom Malinowski, who Pelosi notes was born abroad, and Rep. Jamie Raskin, "along with other Democratic Members born abroad." Currently, there are 11 naturalized citizens serving as Members of Congress.

"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 added.

Pelosi is the second Democrat to propose such a move after Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee tweeted that she would be drafting a similar resolution of condemnation against Mr. Trump. It's unclear how, if at all, Lee's draft would be folded into Pelosi's legislation.

The action comes after Mr. Trump doubled down on his tweets and told reporters at the White House on Monday that he does not think tweets were racist.

"If you're not happy here then you can leave as far as I'm concerned if you hate our country, if you're not happy here, you can leave," he said at a White House event.

"And that's what I say all the time, that's what I said in tweet, which I guess some people think is controversial. A lotta people love it by the way. But if you're not happy in the U.S., if you're complaining all the time, very simply you can leave. you can leave right now. come back if you want, don't come back, its ok too. But if you're not happy you can leave."

Rebecca Kaplan contributed reporting.

This true. Its fun to see the Democrats rearranging the deck furniture on their Titanic - and Trump telling them which one goes where.

"Put this one over here so I can have a good view of the Iceberg."

Pelosi walking into it again, remember that so called "resolution" rejecting anti semitic remarks from the squad? It was so watered down it was a joke. DJT would absolutely shred the marxists if they do this.

It's understandable that when Trump said to go back home, Pelosi thought he meant to their home country. To Nancy, anything that isn't DC is a foreign country.

It's worth turning to C-SPAN to watch what is going on. A Republican has asked for Pelosi's remarks to be struck from the record. Everything has come to a complete stop.

The genius of Pres. Trump - forcing Nancy to pic a side by referring to her in his tweet. Brilliant. She fell right into his trap. Now she's on record aligning herself with these extreme anti-American leftists, taking the entire Democratic portion of the House with her. :lol:

Chair abandons position, replaced

Looks like the rule is: “to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the president.” See below...


GOP demands that Pelosi remarks be removed from record
By Juliegrace Brufke - 07/16/19 04:36 PM EDT

Republicans on Tuesday demanded that Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) remarks blasting President Trump’s comments about four minority congresswomen as racist be removed from the record, freezing action on the floor ahead of a House vote condemning Trump.

Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, demanded Pelosi’s remarks be removed, arguing she violated House rules forbidding personal attacks against the president or another lawmaker.

Earlier, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) in the same debate asked that remarks made by Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) be stricken from the record for calling Democratic lawmakers anti-American.

The battle over floor speeches came as the House debated the resolution condemning the president's comments, aimed at a group of minority, female Democrats, telling them to “go back” to where they came from. The remarks were widely criticized as racist.

In her comments, Pelosi said the remarks were “xenophobic attacks on our members, on our people.”

“How shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words, words that we have all heard him repeat, not only about our members, but about countless others,” she said.

“There is no place anywhere for the president's words, which are not only divisive but dangerous, and have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color,” she added.

After Collins asked Pelosi if she would like to rephrase her comments, Pelosi said she had cleared them with the parliamentarian in advance.

“I would like to make a point of order that the gentlewoman's words are unparliamentary and ask they be taken down,” Collins said.

Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), who was presiding over the floor then reminded members “to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the president.”

Action on the floor froze at that point, as lawmakers and the parliamentarian debated next steps.

Cleaver, in a dramatic moment, later abruptly left his position presiding over the House in frustration.


Rep. Cleaver: "We don't ever, ever want to pass up, it seems, an opportunity to escalate, and that's what this is. I dare anybody to look at any of the footage and see if there was any unfairness. But unfairness is not enough, because we want to just fight. I abandon the chair." pic.twitter.com/pvfJL54kw1

He said the two parties had been treated fairly in the floor debate.

"We don't ever, ever want to pass up, it seems, an opportunity to escalate and that's what this is," he said. "I dare anybody to look at any of the footage and see if there is unfairness, but unfairness is not enough because we want to just fight.

"I abandon the chair," he then stated before slamming his gavel down and leaving his position.

He was replaced by Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.).

Pelosi Briefly Banned From Speaking In The House After Calling Trump "Racist", Leading To Chaos On House Floor

by Tyler Durden
Tue, 07/16/2019 - 18:17

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was briefly banned from speaking on the House floor on Tuesday after she made disparaging comments about President Trump's 'racist' behavior, sparking chaos in the chamber.

GOP lawmakers fumed after Pelosi slammed Trump as "xenophobic" for a Sunday tweet in which he told progressive Democrats to "go back" and "fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

"How shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words, words that we have all heard him repeat, not only about our members, but about countless others," said Pelosi, adding ""There is no place anywhere for the president's words, which are not only divisive but dangerous, and have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color."

In response to Pelosi's comments, Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) claimed that her remarks violated House rules forbidding personal attacks against the president or lawmakers.

After Collins asked Pelosi if she would like to rephrase her comments, Pelosi said she had cleared them with the parliamentarian in advance.

“I would like to make a point of order that the gentlewoman's words are unparliamentary and ask they be taken down,” Collins said.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat, said "The words used by the gentlewoman from California contained an accusation of racist behavior on the part of the President," adding "The words should not be used in debate.

Hoyer's comments technically banned Pelosi from speaking on the House floor for the rest of the day, while the debate over Pelosi's comments caused the House to come to a standstill as lawmakers debated what to do next.

Rep. Cleaver dramatically 'abandoned the chair' and dropped the gavel on the dais while the situation unfolded.

Ultimately, Pelosi's comments were allowed to stand after a motion to strike her comments failed 190-232. Every Republican voted in favor of the motion.
