And it wasn’t even close, because “racist, racist” isn’t working any better than “Russia, Russia” did:
The House voted on Wednesday to table a resolution from Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, to impeach President Donald Trump over racist comments he made about four Democratic congresswomen of color, effectively killing the measure.
The vote — 332 to 95, with one lawmaker voting “present” — marked the first time the Democratic-controlled chamber had weighed in on impeachment, an issue that has created a widening schism within the party. Progressive newcomers and several 2020 candidates have pushed for impeachment proceedings, but the House leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been resistant.
All Republicans joined with 137 Democrats and the lone independent, Justin Amash, to table the resolution.
Meanwhile, Americans are chanting “send her back” about the Somali woman squatting in the US Congress who allegedly married her own brother:
President Donald Trump slammed Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the members of ‘squad’ at his campaign rally Wednesday night with supporters responding with shouts of ‘send her back, send her back.’
While the president raged against all four lawmakers who make up the squad individually – and railed against several of the Democratic presidential contenders – it was Omar, who is a frequent target of his ire, who bore the brunt of his criticism.
Trump accused Omar of blaming terrorists attacks on our country just hours after igniting a debate over rumors she was married to her brother.
‘She smeared U.S. Service members involved in Black Hawk Down,’ he said referring to the failed 1993 raid in Mogadishu by the U.S. military. ‘In other words, she slandered the brave Americans were trying to keep peace in Somalia. Omar minimized the September 11th attacks on our homeland saying some people did something,’ he added.
Outside the White House earlier that day he had said, ‘I hear that she was married to her brother,’ repeating claims which have swirled around Omar since her 2016 campaign.
A Somali blog first accused her of marrying her brother and of being a bigamist. It prompted her to issue statements which have not helped in disproving the claims.
That sound you’re hearing is the Overton Window shattering again. And I do so enjoy the delicate phrasing of the term “prompted her to issue statements which have not helped in disproving the claims” which is considerably more accurate than the false US narrative of the claims being “baseless”.
