But Speaker Nancy Pelosi created an uproar

when she labeled thepresident's Tweets racist

in her speech on the House floor.

- Every single member of this institution,

Democratic and Republican,join us in condemning

the president's racist Tweets.

To do anything less wouldbe a shocking rejection

of our values, and a shameful abdication--

- Sustained- Of our oath of office

to protect the American people.

- [Charlene] Republicansobjected and her statement

was ruled "A violation of House rules."

The president worked hardto prevent deflections

by Republicans and most stood with him.

Minority leader Kevin McCarthy

said the Tweets "weren't racist."

And argued the Democratsare "playing politics."

- I believe this is about ideology.

This is about socialism versus freedom.

- [Charlene] Ahead of thevote, the president Tweeted,

"I don't have a racist bone in my body.

"The so-called vote to betaken is a Democrat con game."

Tweeting afterwards, "Sogreat to see how unified

"the Republican Party was on today's vote

"concerning statements I made

"about four Democrat congresswomen."

I think the tone of all of thisis not good for the country.

- It all centers aroundTweets the president aimed

at four progressive members of congress
