House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said he was unsure whether the House would introduce a resolution condemning President Trump’s attacks on Oversight Committee Chair Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) but said it “wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
“I don’t know, it wouldn’t be a bad idea,” Nadler said, when asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos if a resolution was in the works similar to the one that passed the House after a series of tweets from Trump calling on four progressive minority congresswomen, all American citizens, to “go back” to other countries.
{mossecondads}”The president is as he usually is or often is, disgusting and racist. He makes these charges with no base at all,” Nadler said on ABC’s “This Week” in reference to the tweets, which called Cummings’ West Baltimore district “rat and rodent-infested” and implied money intended for the district was being stolen.
The attacks, Nadler claimed, “are designed to distract attention from allegations about his conduct that came from the committee in the Mueller hearings this week.”
“He’s just trying to change the subject, which is what he usually does,” Nadler added.
