In prepared remarks on the House floor on a resolution condemning President Trump's recent comments telling four minority Democratic lawmakers to "go back{" to the countries from which they came if they don't like it here in the U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the comments "are disgraceful and disgusting...and racist" and urges members to support the resolution. "Every single member of this institution...should join us in condemning the president's racist tweets. To do anything less would be a shocking rejection of our values and a shameful abdication of our oath of office to protect the American people," Speaker Pelosi says. Upon conclusion of her remarks Republican Representative Doug Collins asks her if she would like to rephrase some of her wording.
