The motion "strongly condemns President Donald Trump's racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color." Hours earlier Donald Trump - who ranted that the US citizens should “go back” to the countries “from which they came” - claimed he didn’t "have a racist bone" in his body. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: ”These comments from the White House are disgraceful and disgusting and these comments are racist. "We should stand up to Donald Trump, not pander to him for a sweetheart trade deal which would put our NHS at risk." Donald Trump ramped up his attack yesterday despite one of the four women, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, declaring he had used the "language of white supremacists".
