Democrats ready to condemn Trump ‘racist’ remarks but some want to go further

almost 5 years in Roll Call

House Democrats say they’re ready to take a unanimous vote condemning President Donald Trump for his “racist” remarks attacking four of their freshman members, but some caucus members want to do more to fight back.
The House will vote Tuesday evening on a resolution that affirms support for immigrants and condemns Trump’s comments from Sunday that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna S. Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” (Only Omar, a Somalian refugee, was born outside of the United States.)
