House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced plans for a resolution condemning President Donald Trump s racist Twitter rant in which he said four Democratic congresswoman all of them American should go back and help fix the totally broken countries they came from.

This weekend, the President went beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language about Members of Congress, Pelosi wrote in a letter telling House Democrats about the forthcoming resolution.

The House cannot allow the Presidents characterization of immigrants to our country to stand, Pelosi wrote. She said Democrats will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks.

Trumps racist tweets didnt attack lawmakers by name, but appeared aimed at freshmen Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), and Ilhan Omar (Minn.). All four are women of color and U.S. citizens, although Omar was born in Somalia.
