House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, defended the resolution condemning comments President Trump made that many considered racist during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
The resolution, which was passed mostly by party lines on Tuesday, came after the president repeatedly attacked four progressive freshmen congresswomen, arguing that if they're unhappy with the status of the United States they could "go back" to their native countries.
"Well, the fact is, is that was a resolution of the House and not some legislation that should go to the Senate or be signed by the president," Pelosi stated. "By the way, in the most gentle way. You have no idea the provisions that some people wanted to have in that resolution. This is as benign. It condemned the words of the president. Not the president but the words of the president."
