Pelosi Calls For Censuring Donald Trump Over Charlottesville

It’s time to censure Trump, Pelosi Says.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Friday endorsed an effort to censure President Trump his awful response to the white supremacist violence Charlottesville.

“Every day, the President gives us further evidence of why such a censure is necessary. Indeed, with each passing day, it becomes clearer that the Republican Congress must declare whether it stands for our sacred American values or with the President who embraces white nationalism,” Pelosi said in a statement.

“Democrats will use every avenue to challenge the repulsiveness of President Trump’s words and actions.”

Pelosi’s statement comes on the heels of three Democratic Members of Congress – Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Bonnie Watson Coleman (N.J.) and Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) – unveiling a formal resolution to censure Trump for his “inadequate response to the violence” and “failure to immediately and specifically name and condemn the white supremacist groups responsible for actions of domestic terrorism.”

Here is the full statement for the Pelosi:
