which was referred to the ,committee on the ,judiciary ,,resolution ,condemning the false1 inflammatory1 and racially offensive statements made by the ,president of the ,united ,states regarding four women of color who are duly elected ,members of the ,one ,hundred ,sixteenth ,congress4 ,whereas1 on ,november #f1 #bjah1 in an election widely regarded as a referendum on the performance and disapproval of the administration of ,president ,donald ,j4 ,trump1 the ,american people voted to vest control of the ,house of ,representatives in the ,democratic ,party to restore the system of checks and balances designed by the ,framers in #aghg in ,philadelphia2 ,whereas the ,representatives elected to the ,one ,hundred ,sixteenth ,congress comprise the most diverse class in ,american history with respect to its racial1 ethnic1 and religious composition1 and also includes the largest contingent of female ,representatives and the most ,members ever of the ,,lgbtq community2 ,whereas among the cohort of the #dj ,representatives first elected to the ,congress in the ,november #bjah election are several whose membership is historic1 including the ,representative for the #gth ,district of ,massachusetts1 the first ,african-,american woman elected from the ,commonwealth of ,massachusetts2 the ,representative from the #acth ,district of ,michigan1 the first ,palestinian-,american woman elected to ,congress2 the ,representative from the #adth ,district of ,new ,york1 the youngest woman ever elected to ,congress2 and the ,representative from the #eth ,district of ,minnesota1 the first ,somali-,american elected to ,congress2 ,whereas in the discharge of their official duties as ,members of ,congress1 the aforementioned ,representatives traveled to the southern border of the ,united ,states to observe the living conditions and treatment received by migrants and refugees seeking asylum in the ,united ,states who are currently being held in detention facilities1 some consisting of nothing more than tent villages cordoned off under highways2 ,whereas the migrants and refugees being detained sought refuge in the ,united ,states for the same reasons as the tens of millions who came before them1 in this century and the last1 from this continent and from every other and from all corners of the globe2 ,whereas the migrants and refugees being detained sought refuge in the ,united ,states to be free of fear and hunger1 to better their condition1 to begin their world anew1 and to give their children a chance for a better life1 seeking to leave the pain of the ,old ,world for the hope and promise of the ,new ,world2 ,whereas upon their return to the capital1 the aforementioned ,representatives reported their shock and horror regarding the inhumane conditions to which detainees were being subjected by the ,u4,s4 ,customs and ,border ,protection at a public hearing of a standing committee of the ,house of ,representatives2 ,whereas1 on ,july #ad1 #bjai1 the ,president of the ,united ,states reacted to the criticism of his administration's treatment of detainees by the aforementioned ,representatives in a series of tweets that questioned their loyalty to the ,united ,states and implied that the circumstances of their birth gave them no right to exercise the responsibilities and privileges of duly elected ,members of ,congress2 ,whereas the ,president tweeted about the aforementioned ,representatives3 ,so interesting to see ,progressive ,democrat ,congresswomen1 who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe1 the worst1 most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world 7if they even have a functioning government at all71 now loudly 4 4 4 and viciously telling the people of the ,united ,states1 the greatest and most powerful ,nation on earth1 how our government is to be run4 ,why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came2 ,whereas the ,president's statements are false1 inflammatory1 and racially offensive and unbecoming the ,nation's chief executive2 ,whereas the recent statements of the ,president are inaccurate and offensive but consistent with prior statements he has made to stoke division1 discord1 and disharmony among the ,american people2 ,whereas the current ,president of the ,united ,states burnished his political reputation by claiming falsely for more than five years that his predecessor was born in ,kenya and not the ,united ,states and thus was an illegitimate ,president2 ,whereas the current ,president of the ,united ,states launched his #bjaf campaign for the ,presidency said of persons from ,mexico seeking to immigrate to the ,united ,states3 ,theyre bringing drugs4 ,theyre bringing crime4 ,they're rapists42 ,whereas the current ,president of the ,united ,states claimed that a ,hispanic ,federal jurist could not preside over a court proceeding to which he was a defendant accused of civil fraud because ,he's a ,mexican2 ,whereas in ,january #bjah1 the current ,president of the ,united ,states is reported to have inquired of his advisors3 ,why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here81 referring to persons from countries in ,africa1 the ,caribbean1 and ,central and ,south ,america2 ,whereas1 on ,august #ae1 #bjag1 the current ,president of the ,united ,states said he regarded as some very fine people the neo-,nazis1 white supremacists1 and ,ku ,klux ,klansmen who descended on the peaceful community of ,charlottesville1 ,virginia1 to advocate racism and who were met by peaceful counterprotesters2 ,whereas in his continuous and determined effort to exacerbate ethnic tensions and racial divisions in the body politic1 the current ,president of the ,united ,states is revealing himself to be an unwitting instrument of the plan hatched in ,moscow by ,russian ,federation ,president ,vladimir ,putin to interfere in the #bjaf ,presidential campaign to help elect his preferred candidate and sow discord and division among the ,american people2 and ,whereas statements and actions of the current ,president of the ,united ,states demean the ,office he holds and falls short of the standard set by the #afth ,president1 whose administration was devoted to unity1 healing1 and ending racial division and who famously foretold in his ,march #d1 #ahfa1 ,inaugural ,address the reasons why the efforts of the current ,president of the ,united ,states are destined to fail3 ,we are not enemies1 but friends4 ,we must not be enemies4 ,though passion may have strained1 it must not break our bonds of affection4 ,the mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched1 as surely they will be1 by the better angels of our nature43 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives-- 7#a7 strongly condemns the false1 inflammatory1 and racially offensive statements made by the ,president of the ,united ,states regarding four women of color who are duly elected ,members of the ,one ,hundred ,sixteenth ,congress2 7#b7 calls upon all ,americans to celebrate the ethnic1 racial1 and religious diversity that has made the ,united ,states the leader of the community of nations and the beacon of hope and inspiration to oppressed persons everywhere2 and 7#c7 encourages all persons in the ,united ,states to cherish and exercise the rights1 privileges1 and responsibilities guaranteed by the ,constitution of the ,united ,states4
