Today, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, a Chief Deputy Whip, joined Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and 75 other Members of Congress on a resolution to censure President Donald Trump. This resolution comes in response to President Trump’s insistence on blaming “both sides” for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia and excusing the behavior of neo-Nazis, neo-Confederates, and white supremacists in the “Unite the Right” rally.
“Watching President Trump’s racist, rambling press conference today was surreal and stunning. The President laid bare for all the world to see the ideas and worldview that have earned him praise and admiration from the likes of David Duke and the deepest, darkest corners of the neo-Nazi community. We saw the real, unscripted Donald Trump and it was horrifying.”
"The hatred, bigotry, and violence displayed by white supremacists in Charlottesville today is shocking and unacceptable.
"In difficult times, our country needs a leader who brings us together. Passing blame and failing to denounce white supremacy outright is abhorrent -- especially coming from a President who uses social media to criticize, badmouth, and insult anything that doesn't please him.
