Washington, July 17 (TIWN) The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to condemn US President Donald Trump for his "racist remarks" against four Democratic congresswomen.
The resolution denounced Mr Trump's "racist comments that have legitimised fear and hatred of New Americans and people of colour". Mr Trump had been accused of racism and xenophobia for telling the members of congress to leave the country. The president has since tweeted: "I don't have a Racist bone in my body!" Tuesday's vote passed by 240 votes to 187 in the Democratic-controlled chamber. Four Republicans and the chamber's sole independent, former Republican lawmaker Justin Amash, joined all 235 Democrats to approve the resolution. Texas congressman Will Hurd - the only African American Republican - was joined by his Pennsylvania member Brian Fitzpatrick, Michigan member Fred Upton and Indiana member Susan Brooks. In a series of tweets on Sunday, the president said Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe" and should "go back".
