WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥� The Democratic-led House has voted to condemn President Donald Trump鈥檚 tweets telling four Democratic congresswomen of color to 鈥済o back鈥� to their countries of origin.
Tuesday鈥檚 vote was 240-187 and was solidly opposed by Republicans. It came after Trump and top congressional Republicans denied he is a racist and urged GOP lawmakers to oppose the Democratic measure.
The resolution says the House 鈥渟trongly condemns鈥� Trump鈥檚 鈥渞acist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color.鈥�
Republicans say Democrats are using the uproar over Trump鈥檚 comments to score political points. But Democrats say such comments were revolting and needed to be vilified, especially coming from the president.
Trump didn鈥檛 back down and tweeted that lawmakers unhappy with the U.S. 鈥渃an leave.鈥�
