The House voted Tuesday to condemn Donald Trump for 'racist' tweets that targeted the 'squad' - four progressive lawmakers who are racial minorities. 'How shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words, words that we have all heard and repeated about not only our members, but countless others. 'I have cleared my remarks with the parliamentarian before I read them,' Pelosi snapped back and left the House floor. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy claimed victory on Twitter, however. But the House Republican leadership urged its lawmakers to vote no on the resolution.
