Article i said no. Bad show. And he sent out two tweets about the msnbc saying i heard poorly rated morning joe speaks badly of me and editorial this morning in the Washington Post responding to the president and on capitol hill, the president was criticized for the tweet both from House Speaker paul ryan and democratic members of the u. S. House. We are going to show you some of the brief remarks and the News Conference led by representative frainl, the chair of the mocratic working womens group. The speaker we are trying to improve the tone and siff lit of the date. Reporter you said strong things on the campaign trail. The speaker we are keeping promises. Just today yesterday we did medical Liability Reform. We are going to walk and chew gum. What our constituents care about, are we solving their problems and doing what we said we would do when we campaigned and asked for this opportunity to serve. And the answer is yes. We did medical Liability Reform yesterday and doing two important promises on immigration today. Thats what we do. We go to bat and work solving peoples problems. Ms. Frankel hello everybody. Im the chair of the democratic working womens group and i have with me an assortment of my colleagues, Brenda Lawrence and Jackie Speier who is our communications chair. So what do i have to say about donald j. Trump . Once again he is embarrassing our nation with his bloody tweets. Time and time again, this president is showing his plate ant sexism and disrespect for women as well as the press and i ask what kind of an example for our children when he dispearges women in power and when the press tries to report the truth. Its not just the tweets we are worried about. His Relentless Mission to craft policies that fundamentally hurt omen like trumpcare, Defunding Planned Parenthood and eroding benefits like maternity and Mental Health and increasing the number of uninsured women and children in this country. His tweets represent what he is. And i want to have brenda come up and say some more. Mrs. Lawrence i stand here today at this mike, i am sick and tired of the disrespect that is constantly being displayed from our president of the United States of america. As a democrat and as a woman and as an africanamerican in this great country that i love, i want to fight for jobs and fight for equality for women for equal pay and i want to say when a women needs health care, she should get it in america. I want my girls educated. I want investment in education and i want a nation under god with liberty and justice for all. And this is not acceptable, mr. President. You do not have the right because you have a twitter account, to display behavior that i taught my son never to do. I taught my son and i am respected on so many levels, but from the oval office, as a woman, im not getting respect. We are here to do the work. These are times when we go home to our constituents and theyre not talking about your tweets but talking about where are the jobs, wheres my health care, wheres my immigration reform, where is the respect for criminal justice in this country . Mr. President , this is a directive to you eyeball to eyeball, do the job of the president for all the people of this great country and stop, stop the disrespect ms. Speier we came together today with great anxiety, with great shock and with great disappointment from the president of the United States. We strongly believe that this is beneath the presidency of the United States. We strongly believe that this cannot go on any longer. It is destructive, it is repugnant, and again it is beneath the presidency of the United States. It is not normal for a grown man to be so consumed with petty sri try ol. I implore those close to the president to step in. Do it because you love him, do it because you love this country. I am speaking here today as a woman and as a mother. If conduct like this was going on in a school yard anywhere across this country, the teacher would take this child who had called someone dumb, called someone inappropriately and give him a timeout. Mr. President , it is time for you to take a timeout. Both the first lady and the first daughter have commented about public meanness. Ivanka have said there is a level of viciousness that i was not expecting. Mr. President , there is a level f viciousness coming from your tweets that we are not expecting. And the first lady has said, our culture has gotten too mean. To the first lady, i would say, please talk to your husband. Mr. Raskin i wanted to come that it is just our womens lleagues who are indignant about the president s tweets. As the father of two daughters and one son, i want to tell my daughters that no man has any right ever to treat you the way the president has tried to treat people with his tweets. And i want to tell my son that he should never look at this president of the United States as any kind of role model. He is no gentleman and he seems increasingly like a barbarian. Something is deeply wrong at the white house and whoever is in control over there can get on top of it and pull back from this terrible situation. Ms. Frankel anybody have any questions . Reporter if you say these tweets are below the dignity, there are talk that the any file why dig is tweets with this . Ms. Jackson lee may i say to you, the president of the united tates, mr. Trump, has violated any suggestion that he should be trusted with the oval office. We are members of the United States congress, men and women, who represent the people. The people seek not to have kings or queens, but they seek to have an office of the presidency that can be trusted. Today, mr. Trump, you have ceased to have the trust of the American People. When you begin to utilize again the diminishing of those who have Mental Health needs, sikecow, Joe Scarborough or low i. Q. Mika, and then you begin to talk about the private issues of women who have before in life have been discriminated against because they are women, blood is wherever, or your face bleeding, do you realize how workplacesshudder in of which we fight for equality, in schools, in their homes with the issue of Domestic Violence because they are not protected. And then our commander in chief seeks to take advantage of the position that he holds. So why do we do it . Not for self, but for the words that were said about carlie if i reasona, look at that face, that was candidate trump. Now were facing the president trum, and i would argue that our responsibility is not to him, but to the American People and he should resign. Reporter the point i was trying to make, Cyber Bullying is reflected of his policies. Frankel thats the most important point. The question a moment ago is why gather to respond . You know, you cannot ignore some things. And when the president has stooped to degrade women, bullying them on their looks and whether or not they are intelligent, it speaks volumes. We need to speak volumes. It sends a message as was characterized to our children of what is acceptable behavior. I know Mika Brzezinski because she covered me when she worked in the state of connecticut as a reporter. Her work in that job demonstrated her professionalism and her savvy. And for all of us here, men and women that stand here, and i say for women, we work hard at what we do. We are professionals in our jobs. And we have known in our ifetime and in our careers those who would denigrate who we are and what we do, it is not expect the t we president of the United States to do. Instead of this effort, the Public Policies or the professionalism of Mika Brzezinski and what she does as a reporter in doing her job is what we do in our job. If initiating Public Policy that helps men and women in this country. And the president of the United States, instead of proposing a budget and a repeal of a Health Care Bill that can only hurt American People, women and children around this country, that he would stand tall and say that my job is to make sure that families have the education that they need, the health care that they need, the good jobs that they need in order to provide Economic Growth in the United States of america, what he does is he demeans women and more than that, he has demeaned himself in this process. And we know it and the country knows it. Ms. Frankel thank you very much.

Trump for more than a decade and have fond memories of our relationship, but that hasnt stopped us criticizing his behavior or worrying about his fitness.
