"I am co-sponsoring a resolution to censure President Trump for the racist and offensive comments he made last week about Haiti and African countries. It is deeply disturbing and really heartbreaking that this President would so callously denigrate these countries. Language like that has no place in the White House and all the linguistic gymnastics used by too many Republicans to excuse or dismiss Trump’s racist rant says a lot about them too. The resolution specifically censures Trump for his language, his objections to including Haitians in an immigration compromise and his suggestion that the United States should favor immigrants from countries like Norway over Haiti and African countries. We are demanding that Republican leadership bring up the censure resolution as quickly as possible."
