PFAW Member,
The House just yesterday voted to condemn Trump's racist tweets from the weekend, attacking four progressive freshman members of the House – all women of color.
THANK YOU – thousands of PFAW supporters like you took action to call on Congress to rebuke Trump and declare that racism is NOT the American Way.
But guess how many Republicans in the House voted with Democrats to condemn Trump's words? ONLY FOUR!!!
This shocking complicity in allowing Trump to go unchecked will undoubtedly be a stain on our country's history.
Ever since his campaign for president, Donald Trump's supporters have become increasingly empowered to be openly racist – AND, since becoming president, Trump has gone increasingly unchecked by his Republican colleagues who either reaffirm his racist sentiments or who tacitly do so by saying nothing at all.
Just last night at a campaign rally Trump (predictably) repeated his attacks Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley from the podium, the members of the crowd shouted “traitor!” (ironically, not directed at Trump) and “they’re evil!” … And when he focused in on Rep. Omar specifically the crowd began a sustained chant of “SEND HER BACK. SEND HER BACK.”
And Republicans still, stunningly, remain silent.
If you care about combating racism, your opinion is important to us:
