House Republicans join Dems in vote condemning Trump tweets

Did they believe that his tweets instructing four Democratic congresswomen of color to "go back" to their home countries - when three of the four were born in the United States - were in any way racist, as many others had concluded? The phrase is almost identical to what Mr. Trump wrote in his tweets about the congresswomen: "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came". Sciutto persisted. "So numerous president's critiques of them are outright false so I'm curious how you accuse them of believing that most Americans are racist".

Scherie Murray, a NY businesswoman who immigrated from Jamaica as a child and is active in state Republican politics, is launching a campaign Wednesday for the congressional seat held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fox News has learned. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), four women of color, to go back where they came from is racist or not.

President Trump is praising Republicans after the Democrat-led House of Representatives voted Tuesday to pass a resolution over so- called racist comments he made about liberal congresswomen.

King voted against the resolution.

"The names they call him, the foul language, they accuse him of killing - [of being] a Nazi!"

Omar, a refugee from Somalia, became a USA citizen in 2000.

"They hate America", panelist Dena Miller said.

Trump has not weighed in Tuesday evening after the vote along party lines to condemn his tweets.

Police to charge suspect in US scientist's slaying in Crete
In a statement released after her death, the Max Planck Institute said it was "deeply shocked and disturbed by this tragic event". The Greek Reporter said the suspect was a married martial arts enthusiast with two children and that his father was a priest.

At the Capitol, there was near unanimous condemnation from Democrats and a rumble of discontent from a subset of Republicans, but notably not from the party's congressional leaders.

"I think you can see what the president means by looking at his accomplishments", Carson said. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted not long after, deploying smiley, heart and "dancing women with bunny ears" emojis.

The four rebellious freshmen backed Rep. Steven Cohen of Tennessee in unsuccessfully seeking a House to vote on a harsher censure of Trump's tweets.

Immediately after this, Democrat Al Green filed an article of impeachment against Trump, but the Democratic leadership has refused to pursue this act, according to BBC.

Reed said he disagreed with Trump's tweets, which he acknowledged could be interpreted as inappropriate. Many want the 2020 campaigns to focus on progressive Democrats' demands for government-provided health care, abolishing the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and other hard-left policies.

The deliberations over whether Pelosi's words should be taken down took more than an hour.

Queens is an overwhelmingly Democratic district and whichever Republican candidate wins the primary will have an uphill battle ahead of them. Mike Braun of IN said of Trump's tweets.
