Hes asking the president not to issue a president ial pardon for Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server. Its a bit of a strange request because clinton has been completely cleared of any criminal wrongdoing by the fbi and the justice department, as well. But, of course, that is not swaying donald trump. Mr. President , will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her coconspirators for their many crimes against our country and against society itself. Will you make that pledge . That was trump at a rally. Earlier this week, trump actua

Great to be with you, and great to be with you at home. Im leland vittert. The senate literally burped the midnight oil last night and republicans did not need the vicepresident to get the reform through the senate, though he was there. Were halfway there the. The republicans got this through with vote to spare even though democrats did everything they could to block it. I would be glad to gut and destroy this legislation. How high the stench is rising in this chamber as we debate the bill tonight. In my long career in politics i have not seen a more aggressive piece of legislation. They also took to twitter showing the last minute changes that were handwritten on the bill, complaining there was no way anyone had time to read the entire piece of legislation, much less study it and figure out how it would effect the economy. Here is senator john tester of montana. Can you tell me what that word is . You have better eyes than me, this is unbelievable. In the end, the republicans were abl
Thats part of the tweet. Go back from where you came from is obviously a time worn racist trope and beyond that three of the four lawmakers hes talking about were born in the United States and all of them are american citizens and all of them are elected officials.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling for republicans to join her partys proposed resolution condemning, quote, the president s xenophobic tweets. And its happening just as the president denied that the tropes he tweeted against four congresswomen are racist. Whats more, hes asking for an apology from the four democrats he told to, quote, go back and fix the totally broken and crimeinfested places from which they came. Well, here was the president moments ago. These are people that, in my opinion, hate our country. And all im saying, if theyre not happy here, they can leave. They can leave. And you know what im sure there will be many people that wont miss them. But theyre americans. When i hear the statements theyve made, and in one case you have somebody that comes from somalia, which is a failed government, failed state, who left somalia, who ultimately came here and now is a congresswoman, who is
