The House of Representatives is tentatively slated to vote on a resolution today to rebuke comments recently made by President Donald Trump, who began tweeting about Democratic “progressive” Congresswomen on Sunday.
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump tweeted.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!” he added.
….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

On Monday, Trump called on anyone who is not happy in the U.S. to leave.
“We will never be a Socialist or Communist Country. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY HERE, YOU CAN LEAVE! It is your choice, and your choice alone. This is about love for America. Certain people HATE our Country….” he tweeted. “….They are anti-Israel, pro Al-Qaeda, and comment on the 9/11 attack, “some people did something.” Radical Left Democrats want Open Borders, which means drugs, crime, human trafficking, and much more….”
“….Detention facilities are not Concentration Camps! America has never been stronger than it is now – rebuilt Military, highest Stock Market EVER, lowest unemployment and more people working than ever before. Keep America Great,” he added.

On Tuesday, Trump issued another series of tweets referencing the Congresswomen.
“The Democratic Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate, & yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party,” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. “Horrible anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public shouting of the F…word, among many other terrible things, and the petrified Dems run for the hills.”
“Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said? Because they are the Radical Left, and the Democrats are afraid to take them on. Sad!” he added.

“Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show “weakness” and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat Congresswomen, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our Country. Get a list of the HORRIBLE things they have said,” Trump tweeted. “Omar is polling at 8%, Cortez at 21%. Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party. See you in 2020!”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called upon her colleagues to vote on the resolution introduced by Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski after Trump’s verbal sparring with the Democratic “Squad” consisting of freshmen Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley, Fox News reported Tuesday.
Trump has previously condemned anti-Semitic remarks made by the Congresswomen, especially Omar – a traditional Muslim who has been accused of anti-Semitism since her Congressional campaign and repeated connections with groups like CAIR who have been accused of the same thing.
“The Dems were trying to distance themselves from the four ‘progressives,’ but now they are forced to embrace them,” Trump tweeted Monday. “That means they are endorsing Socialism, hate of Israel and the USA! Not good for the Democrats!”

Malinowski said the House would be voting on the resolution on Tuesday.
“Tomorrow the House will take up my resolution condemning the president’s racist remarks. It will ask all members to choose: do we embrace President Reagan’s vision of an America made stronger by immigrants and refugees, or President Trump’s message of fear?” Malinowski tweeted on Monday.

The “Squad” responded publicly on Monday, holding a press conference on Capitol Hill where they took turns condemning President Trump’s remarks.
“I want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the President says, this country belongs to you,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to CNN.
Omar called Trump’s words “a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States of House of Representatives, all of whom are women of color.”
“This is the agenda of white nationalists, whether it is happening in chat rooms or it’s happening on national TV, and now it’s reached the White House garden,” she added.
