Commission president. And relief efforts in south asia to huge areas of battered by monsoon rains and flooding. Over the us president says he doesnt have a racist bone in his body as the house of representatives prepares to rebuke him for his comments against 4 Democratic Congresswoman donald trump has come under increasing 5 for his twitter attacks in which he said the women all u. S. Citizens should go back to where they came from pretty coherent as more from washington. It wasnt just on twitter in person and on camera u. S. President donald trump continued to stoke controversy and do what they want they can leave they can stay but they should love our country and they should work for the good of our country hes talking about these 4 new members of congress he singled him out for criticism telling them to go back to their own countries even though they are american but because of what they look like many say those are blatantly racist comments now the house says it will vote on a democratic backed resolution to condemn what they describe as his racist comments the president responded on twitter writing those tweets were not racist i dont have a racist bone in my body the socalled vote to be taken is a Democratic Congress came 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 congresswoman just over a dozen republicans of criticize the president but the leadership of the party is still clearly with him. Right not a raises and i think the tone of all of this is not good for the country but its coming from all different illogical points of view thats the point to single out any segment of the us i think is a mistake democrats just arent buying that but silence is an endorsement equivocation is an endorsement blaming both sides is an endorsement there is no gray area here there is a very clear right and wrong on the speaker of the house nancy pelosi one further using candid and controversial language on the floor of the house these comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and experiments are racist how shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words words that we have all heard him repeat not only about our members but about countless others. Throughout his presidency with the controversies piled up republicans have been unwilling to go against this president that seems unlikely to change anytime soon. Al jazeera washington.
