President Trump on Tuesday insisted he is not a racist amid sustained criticism of his attacks on four minority, progressive Democratic congresswoman.
The president’s latest defense of his tweets telling the lawmakers to “go back” to their home county, even though they are all U.S. citizens, came hours before the House is set to vote on a resolution condemning them as “racist.”
“Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!” Trump tweeted.
Trump condemned the “so-called vote” on the resolution as a “Democrat con game,” sending a message to Republicans to vote against the measure.
“Republicans should not show ‘weakness’ and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat,” he tweeted.
Trump also repeated his belief that the members “hate our Country.”
Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show “weakness” and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat…..
