On Tuesday, the House of Representatives will vote on a resolution to condemn Trump’s racist attacks on four congresswomen of color. Will any Republicans support it?
The resolution’s preamble traces U.S. history from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to the Reagan administration in describing America’s “commitment to immigration.” The resolution itself lays out that the House:1.
Though Republicans will likely come up with excuses for voting against the resolution, no rhetorical dodge can shield those who oppose the resolution from having gone on the record as tacitly endorsing the president’s racism. The heart of the matter is clear: Representatives can either vote for the idea of an inclusive America where citizenship is defined by laws, or they can vote in support of the ethno-nationalist perversion of these ideals held by Trump.
The vote on Tuesday will be the second time this year House Democrats have forced Republicans to take a side on the racism of one of their own.New York Times
