.MaddowBlog: Why the House was so divided on a measure condemning Pres. Trump’s racism.
Close video The Rachel Maddow Show, 7/16/19, 9:38 PM ET Democrats look for bipartisanship in condemnation of Trump racism Rep. Tom Malinowski, author of the newly passed House resolution condemning Donald Trump for his racist remarks against members of Congress, talks with Rachel Maddow about standing up for his colleagues and the Democrats’ outreach to Republican members.
The resolution passed largely along party lines – 235 Democrats joined by only four Republican supported the measure – following hours of back-and-forth and gamesmanship between Republicans and Democrats, which included a GOP objection to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s remarks about Trump and whether she would be allowed to keep speaking on the floor.
The procedural drama was over comments House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made on the floor, condemning the president’s racist comments, which drew an objection from Rep. Doug Collins , who pointed to rules limiting the kind of insults members could make against a president. All of which reinforced the ridiculousness of the circumstances and the need for the contemporary Republican Party to reevaluate what’s important.
