House Democrats Temporarily Changed Rules to Allow President to Be Called a Racist

Joel B. Pollak 13 Jan 2021

Democrats called President Donald Trump a racist several times during the House debate on impeachment Wednesday, taking advantage of a temporary rule change they passed earlier this week.

Newly-sworn-in Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), for example, called Trump the “white supremacist-in-chief”:

Quote
Congresswoman Cori Bush
@RepCori
St. Louis and I rise to say that the 117th Congress has a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives.

The first step in that process is rooting out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist-in-chief.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) also chimed in, calling Trump the “racist-in-chief.”

Normally, such language is prohibited by House rules. But House Democrats passed a temporary rule change on Tuesday that applies to debate on H. Res. 21 and H. Res. 24. The former urged Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump (which he declined to do); the latter is the article of impeachment against President Trump.

Well, that's a definitive statement as she looks in the mirror.

It was my understanding that under the Constitution each House change their procedural rules -- that's hardly a procedural rule.

As much as I don't like Pelosi I fear the day that she steps down; members of the Squad will take over.  Guarantee it.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
