Yesterday House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began to call for a house resolution condemning Trumps tweets regarding members of the Democratic Caucus, saying that “they should go back home” as if those members were not born in or naturalized citizens of the United States. Supposedly Trump made these statements on account of their skin color, and accordingly many called them racist. However when Speaker Pelosi named the tweets as such, another member of the house from the Republican caucus labeled them degrading to a member of government and called for them to be stripped from the record.
From there reporters have labelled the ensuing fracas as ‘Chaotic’. I just call it stupid. A statement of fact is not an insult, the Speakers words carried no connotation or tone indicating any such thing but conservatives saw a chance to defend Trump, attack Democrats and so on, and did so. And it was just so goddamn pointless, if the House, a part of the Legislative branch, isn’t allowed to respond to the Executive branch, if it cannot be an independent part of the government, why even be separate.
This isn’t a long post, but god this is stupid and I felt like poking it.
