WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump denied accusations of racism on Tuesday after launching an attack on four minority Democratic lawmakers, saying he does not have"a racist bone in my body."
US Representatives Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar at a press conference to respond to President Donald Trump. Slamming the"so-called vote" scheduled for later Tuesday as a"Democrat con game," Trump urged his fellow Republicans not to"show 'weakness' and fall into their trap."
"Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party," Trump added, in a jab at the House speaker who has had a tenuous relationship with the four left-leaning first-term congresswomen. .....Congresswomen, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our Country. Get a list of the HORRIBLE things they have said. Omar is polling at 8%, Cortez at 21%. Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party. See you in 2020!While some Republican members of Congress have condemned Trump's remarks, House Republican leaders closed ranks behind the president and said they would oppose the resolution.
"We oppose them and their policies because their policies are dangerous and wrong and will destroy America," the Republican from Wyoming said. "Three of four of these women of course were born in the United States, so all of them are American citizens as much as I am," Portman said.
