1 / 4Trump DemocratsRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., walks out of a House of Representatives office building, Tuesday, July 16, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington. WASHINGTON — The Latest on President Donald Trump's racist tweets about four Democratic lawmakers of color :Texas Rep. Al Green has introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, potentially forcing a vote this week on whether to remove the president from office.
Tuesday's vote was 240-187 and was solidly opposed by Republicans. It came after Trump and top congressional Republicans denied he is a racist and urged GOP lawmakers to oppose the Democratic measure. For now, a majority of House Democrats appear to oppose impeachment. And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has resisted launching official proceedings without broad bipartisan support.An objection by House Republicans to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's remarks criticizing President Donald Trump's tweets against Democratic congresswomen of color has delayed for more than an hour the chamber's debate over a resolution condemning Trump's words.
McConnell said at a news conference Tuesday that political rhetoric has gotten"way, way overheated across the political spectrum." He pointed to Democratic comments, saying"we've seen the far left throw accusations of racism at everyone." He's thanking Trump for his"incredible courage," ''stamina and resilience from unwithering criticism, unfair criticism all the time."
Trump's tweets and remarks have put Republicans on the defensive as they defend their Senate majority. All four of the Democratic women are American citizens elected to Congress last year.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Democrats are offended by what President Donald Trump he has said"about our sisters."
Trump sought to defend himself Tuesday, a day after saying he wasn't concerned that critics considered the tweets to be racist. Trump tweeted Tuesday:"Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don't have a Racist bone in my body!"
