President Trump's racist taunt that four congresswomen of color "go back" to the "places from which they came" unified Democrats just as they were facing one of their most serious fractures since taking control of the House.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said on Monday the House would vote on a resolution condemning “the president’s xenophobic tweets.” The resolution is being drafted by House Democrats who were born abroad, including Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), who was born in communist Poland and moved to central New Jersey when he was 6 years old.
