The House is voting today to condemn Trump’s tweets that they say crossed a line or something. But Trump wants to know why they aren’t voting to condemn the vile things these Democrat Congresswomen have said:
The Democrat Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate, & yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party. Horrible anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public…..

…..shouting of the F…word, among many other terrible things, and the petrified Dems run for the hills. Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said? Because they are the Radical Left, and the Democrats are afraid to take them on. Sad!

Actually he’s not wrong that they are afraid of them. We definitely saw that play out earlier this year when Pelosi and the House refused to specifically call out Ilhan Omar for her anti-Semitic remarks.
Trump is trying to make the Democrats own these four congresswoman, which he suggested last night was his strategy:
The Dems were trying to distance themselves from the four “progressives,” but now they are forced to embrace them. That means they are endorsing Socialism, hate of Israel and the USA! Not good for the Democrats!

Even David Axelrod, Obama’s former right-hand man, says this is what Trump is doing:
With his deliberate, racist outburst, @realDonaldTrump wants to raise the profile of his targets, drive Dems to defend them and make them emblematic of the entire party.
It’s a cold, hard strategy.— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) July 15, 2019
Whether this works in the long run, I don’t know. But what I do know is that many of the 2020 Democrats running for president are very much like these radical freshmen, and I think their radical policies have already become the face of the party.
UPDATE: Trump just tweeted out a couple more on the same topic, telling Republicans not to show ‘weakness’ by voting with Democrats, and more…
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…..

…..Congresswomen, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our Country. Get a list of the HORRIBLE things they have said. Omar is polling at 8%, Cortez at 21%. Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party. See you in 2020!
