There were several republicans, chip roy, mike turner from ohio who came out and said they didnt like the presidents tweets. theyre racist. >> will hurd was here yesterday. >> theyll see if they decide to take it that far. >> what do you think? >> i totally agree with jackie. i think this is going to end up being very partisan and just the way that it unfolded on the house floor during the debate the way the republicans tried to turn the whole notion of the word racist against democrats was very...

His tweets over the weekend. but that has been derailed after dramatic moment on the house floor after the house speaker took to the floor, condemned the presidents remarks, called them racist, called them crit -- criticized them but the republicans said they were out of bounds because they violate the rules of the house decore um which said you cannot impun the integrity of the president and cannot con tend that he is racist and saying those are out of bounds so as a result behind the scenes th...
