Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) does hereby censure and condemn President Donald Trump for his inadequate response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, 2017, his failure to immediately and specifically name and condemn the white supremacist groups responsible for actions of domestic terrorism, for re-asserting that “both sides” were to blame and excusing the violent behavior of participants in the ‘Unite the Right’ rally, and for employing people with ties to white supremacist movements in the White House, such as Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka; and

(2) does hereby urge President Donald Trump to fire any and all White House advisors who have urged him to cater to the alt-Right movement in the United States.


EDIT: I missed that it's just a proposed resolution at this point.

Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), senior Member of the House Judiciary Committee and former Chairman and Ranking Member of the Constitution Subcommittee, along with Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) and Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) announced a resolution of censure against President Donald Trump for his August 15, 2017 remarks re-asserting earlier comments that "both sides" were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia and excusing the behavior of participants in the 'Unite the Right' rally. The resolution censuring and condemning President Trump is set to be introduced on Friday, August 18, 2017, when the U.S. House of Representatives is next in pro forma session.

and thank you for editing it in.

makes sense that dems would censure him

odds of GOP passing censure (around 20-30 GOP reps would have to defect to pass it) are low.

I really don't think Republicans can afford to vote 'no' on something that publicly condemns literal Nazis. And it's not like they haven't been calling Trump out since his initial statements on Saturday.

I think this is the death knell of the Republican party. Unless they change their ways they'll be known as the party that publicly supported Nazism. Not a good look

i mean that is basically what censuring means, so yeah.

it's meaningless and the point of it is to show the GOP won't even do that (or to make them piss off their base if they do it)

"Fake news" is anything that is intentionally published as false.

This was just an error by TC, it is not "fake news".

The only base they'd piss off are the diehard Trumpeters, and those are the very same people they've been condemning since this whole thing started.

I remember when our country used to rock the shit out of Nazis and Russians. Now our president is a Nazi sympathizer who colludes with Russia. Smh.
