Both Reps. Antonio Delgado and Paul Tonko voted July 16 to condemn President Trump’s racist comments this past weekend directed at four Members of Congress. The measure passed 240-to-187, with just four Republicans and one independent voting with all Democrats in the majority. Independent Representative Justin Amash, who until calling for Trump's impeachment recently was a Republican, voted to condemn the president, as did current Republicans Will Hurd, Susan Brooks, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Fred Upton. The President Tweeted July 14 that four women-of-color Democrats should "go back" to their countries because of a political disagreement. Three of the women were born in America. “Those Tweets were NOT Racist,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “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.” The New York Times reports that this was the first condemnation of a president in the U.S. House since William Howard Taft, who served from 1909 to 1913. Taft was accused of attempting to influence a Senate election, but the Senate cut out the phrase “ought to be severely condemned” in that case, and passed a watered-down condemnation.
