US House condemns Trump attacks on congresswomen as racist

The US House of Representatives has voted to condemn President Donald Trump after a series of attacks aimed at four 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 debate in the Democratic-controlled chamber was a highly polarised debate, with various Republicans insisting the vote itself was a breach of decorum.

It passed by 240 votes to 187.

Four Republicans and the House's sole independent, former Republican lawmaker Justin Amash, joined all 235 Democrats to approve the resolution

The four Republicans were Texas congressman Will Hurd (the party's only African American representative), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Fred Upton (Michigan) and Susan Brooks (Indiana).

Passing a resolution - which is a statement of opinion and not legally binding - criticising presidential conduct is very rare.

Really. In between, redeeming moments allow you to acquire strength before
being hit again. One of the great issues about utilizing
an A3000 or 2091 is with the ability to run a CDRom
drive! Unfortunately, their seller might say "What's a 2090a?

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of
any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was
hoping maybe you would have some experience with
something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything.

I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I've had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Thanks!
