this hour president trump will meet behind closed doors with republican congressional leaders ahead of what could be a symbolic rebuke of the commander-in-chief in just a matter of hours, house democrats will vote on a resolution to condemn the president s racist go back where you came from tweets to four democratic house freshman, all three of color and born in the united states and all of them american citizens. the vote will force house republicans to support or opposition to the proposition that the president should be denounced for making racist commentsment mr. trump responding on twitter saying those tweets were not racist. i don t have a racist bone in my body. it a con game and republicans should not fall into the trap and to which alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york responded, quote, you re right, mr. president, you don t have a racist bone in your body, you have a racist mind in your head and a racist heart in your chest, unquote. republicans are largely standing
makes it seem even though the original tweets were not about socialism at all. i don t think that is what people are paying attention to right now. he can t just tweet it and say no, it is about how all of the democrats are anti-semitic and everybody is like, oh, this is a conversation about no, this is not what this is a conversation about. chuck schumer is anti-semitic. that is now how this will work out and if anything we ve seen the democratic party rally around one another and realize that we are taking on something bigger here and this is what we are trying to do, the democrats saz a party going into 2020. i do think part of that will certainly have them call out things the president does that are racist like that tweet. but the reason they were able to win in 2018 because they were able to straddle the line and say the president did something extremely out of line and racist and whatever other way and now tell us what you re going to do about health care in this country
has been absolutely using racism and xenophobia but the language that he used and we saw it in sara sidner report, the language in these tweets, jake, i really do think takes it to another level. he ripped language from the handbook of white supremacy and i m glad they are doing it, but democrats have now been unified on all of this, right. and they are willing and wanting to hold this president to account and republicans as well who have basically turned over themselves, tripped over themselves trying to deny it. and they re now becoming the party of complicit and cowardice. there have been a few republicans that have criticized with the president. tim scott, mitt romney, et cetera but only so far that a lot of them are willing to go. and it is a very tepid response which is the most disappointing about this. and the fact that they re engaging in this definition of who gets to be american, what makes america great and i ve said that i don t believe that the president thinks that
often they are not very smart. stunning. anyway it is not just something that we should all be incredibly worried about but the repercussions of this, you have kids and i have kids, we ve all been a kid is what the president said something that we would ever allow our kids or would our parents have allowed us to utter those words and have it be okay? when the president was running for office, my children said to me, momma [ speaking foreign language ] which means, mom, if trump wins are we going to be deported? these are children. american citizens. american citizens, exactly. and the congresswomen that we went after were american citizens. all four of them. let me ask you, there are people who say this is part of a strategy. this isn t the president just spouting off being racist because he has racist views, there is a plot going on here and i was reminded that in 2017
