Speaker Pelosi Calls Trump A Racist On The House Floor -- That's A No-No

It's not going to be stricken from the record. The whole point of the resolution was to condemn Trump's racist comments.

Really? You sure about this? :lol: Pelosi caved to leftwing extremists. Not a winning strategy!

Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump -- and Pelosi's words were eventually ruled out of order by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat.

"The words used by the gentlewoman from California contained an accusation of racist behavior on the part of the President,” Hoyer said, in a decision that technically banned Pelosi from speaking on the House floor for the rest of the day. “The words should not be used in debate.”

House decides Nancy Pelosi's criticism of Trump violates chamber rules

Nancy Pelosi criticism of Donald Trump violates House rules - Washington Times

The House ruled Tuesday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s criticism of President Trump violates the chamber’s rules.

Members are now voting on whether her words should be struck from the official record.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer took over the gavel to make the announcement.

“The words used by the gentlewoman from California contained an accusation of racist behavior on the part of the President,” Mr. Hoyer said. “The words should not be used in debate.”

According to the Congressional Research Service, Mrs. Pelosi could be punished by being barred from speaking on the floor for the rest of the day.

I’m sorry but that looks awful. Trump intentionally agitates then Repubs want to rebuke the agitated?

Disparaging the President is not permitted on the House Floor. That's the basis for Collins' demand that the Speaker's comment be stricken.

I honestly don't know the reason for the rule - only that it exists.

Then how can they have a resolution condemning what he said?


How do they discuss such a resolution?



And how can they impeach a president? If they can't talk disparagingly about the president, that makes impeaching him rather difficult.

A few tweets from Trump's supporters, and CNN's dishonest journalists paint his entire base racist.

They have been calling president Trump a racist for the last 3 years? Just more of the same. It shows the deep desperation
they have to try anything thing to get Trump.

House Rule XXII, Clause 1(B). That rule requires that remarks on the floor “be confined to the question under debate, avoiding personality."

Apparently it stemmed from a showdown in 1984 between Tip O'Neill and Newt Gingrich.

Ya think DP glommed onto that rule?
 
Everything that politicians say from here on out is for 2020

Good. Kick her to the curb.

Maybe we can get a Speaker with enough balls to, at the very least, open an impeachment inquiry.

Someone should clue you in.

Melania didn't say America stinks or that Jewish money controls congress.

That article didn't paint the entire base as racist. It merely pointed out that racists were very happy with Trump's tweets.

And then there was a procedural vote and the GOP got smacked down and the words stay in the resolution. It's very similar to whack-a-mole.


House votes to allow Pelosi to call Trump comments '''racist'''


It's a winning strategy to get the defenders of a racist and his racist comments on record.

The facts are clear: the House rules of order and decency were broken by the very person tasked with upholding them—the Speaker of the House. But just now, Democrats voted to ignore the rules and give special treatment to one of their own.

That's a good question. So I had to find out....

RULES OF DECORUM & DEBATE IN THE HOUSE

Pelosi didn't disparage the president, she disparaged his words.

No different than the rules of this board. I can say "Your post is stupid" but I can't say "You're stupid". I can say "Your post is a lie" but I can't say "You're a liar".

Simple things tend to confuse most Trump supporters, though. Especially when they are being led by a moronic windbag like Doug Collins, who seems to have a crush on Trump.
 
I’d like to the US adopt a more UK type of debate in the upper and lower houses! :2razz:

Issue them sticks.....
 
It's against the rules to call the President a racist, even when the topic is his racist tweeting. Hmmmmm.

Impeachment for what? No crimes have been committed. The last time I looked, a President is also allowed his or her right to free speech. Right now, less than 20% of the population wants an impeachment. Probably because most people understand the right to free speech. The only resolution really is the 2020 elections in which the Democrats are making sure another Trump victory. Not only for his presidency but also for Congress to turn heavily to Republican control. I predict by a landslide. I wouldn't be surprised if it would be 300 to 135 in the house Republicans to Democrats. And, 65 to 35 in the Senate. Trump is using these 4 Musketeers to push the Democrat Party into pushing for the United States to become a socialist nation. Which will be soundly rejected. That's what Trump did over the weekend. He pushed Pelosi to take her moderate caucus to the far left. He's brilliant!

They are going to impeach him for not being wacko leftist PC. ;)

eta: I am inclined to agree with those who say Trump is setting the Dems. up.
 
Racist, racist every where according to the hateful MSM. They are in overload mode right now!

CNN and MSNBC have said the word "racist" more than 1,100 times since Sunday, according to a tally conducted by Grabien Media, an online media production and news prep service.

Eh, I’m all over the place. I know it’s contrary to Trump’s nature to STFU but I honestly think the drama between Pelosi and AOC was a no lose situation for us. Now it’s about him again.

They couldn't get him on collusion/obstruction of justice, and now they have backtracked to the race card.
Cute. :lol:

It's possible that that's just because there might be something to it...
