If there’s one thing that Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats take very seriously, it’s hateful, bigoted rhetoric. That’s why Pelosi has announced a House resolution to condemn Donald Trump’s remarks about the four freshman House congresswomen:

Good to see them taking yet another firm stand against hate.
So a broad anti-hate resolution will do the trick, right? https://t.co/yr3mIyVt0E

It worked so well the last time around.
But they wouldn't for Omar https://t.co/mb4VULFpid

Not specifically, anyway.
The House already condemned all forms of hate and bigotry in March of this year because of Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism https://t.co/qJzoRWUAri https://t.co/caA01A22Sb

What makes Donald Trump’s remarks so special?
But @IlhanMN 's Antisemitism is hunky dory?
Remember – you all WOULD NOT VOTE TO CONDEMN IT. @SpeakerPelosi hypocrite much? #DoubleStandard much? https://t.co/cN9ymvo1F1

It’s almost as if these resolutions are meaningless because Democrats aren’t really serious about combating hate and bigotry.
Why not just have another vote condemning hate? https://t.co/gE2EjQUaiV

Trump should respond to Pelosi's resolution by saying "No need, you already condemned all forms of hate."

No no no, we can only condemn hate. Their rules.
Otherwise, Democrats are stinking hypocrites. https://t.co/H5lxGp5kM3

Democrats: We can’t call out Ilhan Omar for her anti-Semitism, so we’re going to pass a generic resolution condemning hate in all of its forms.
Also Democrats: We’re going to pass a resolution condemning Trump for his racism.
What a bunch of charlatan hacks. No consistency.

Completely agree with this. Dem complaints would be taken a lot more seriously if they hadn't gone through great lengths to excuse the bigotry in their own caucus. https://t.co/eej94vTpUK

Republicans could demand a resolution condemning all unspecified bigotry https://t.co/4FqC770BcI

They won't get it.
Bigotry against some people doesn't matter. https://t.co/X2z9BJQPvm

Them’s the rules, unfortunately.
