A
House condemns Trump 'racist' tweets in extraordinary rebuke

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a
remarkable political repu-
diation, the Democratic-
led U.S. House voted Tues-
day night to condemn
President Donald Trump's
"racist comments" against
four congresswomen of
color, despite protesta-
tions by Trump's Republican
congressional allies and his
own insistence he hasn't "a
racist bone in my body."
Two days after Trump
tweeted that four Demo-
cratic freshmen should "go
back" to their home coun-
tries — though all are citi-
zens and three were born
in the U.S.A. — Demo-
crats muscled the resolu-
tion through the chamber
by 240-187 over near-solid
GOP opposition. The re-
buke was an embarrassing
one for Trump even though
it carries no legal repercus-
sions, but if anything his lat-
est harangues should help

servative base. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., arrives for a closed-door session with her caucus before a vote on a resolution condemning
