Tomorrow the House will take up my resolution condemning the president's racist remarks. It will ask all members to choose: do we embrace President Reagan's vision of an America made stronger by immigrants and refugees, or President Trump's message of fear? https://t.co/xvT3Vxhjpq

“This weekend, the president went beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language about Members of Congress,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to colleagues. “The House cannot allow the president’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand.”

"So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run," Trump tweeted.
Omar, who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia, is the only one among the four who was born in a foreign country.
When asked Monday if he was concerned his tweets were considered racist and praised by white nationalists, Trump said, "Not at all."
"If somebody has a problem with our country, if somebody doesn’t want to be in our country, they should leave," Trump said.
Malinowski earlier Monday said he hoped the resolution would pass on a bipartisan basis.
"I think this is going to be an opportunity for, hopefully, all of us on a bipartisan basis to say that even if we may disagree on the details of immigration or border policy, racism is wrong, is un-American. It's not who we are," Malinowski told The Hill.
But it's unclear how much bipartisan support the resolution will attract given that it explicitly calls Trump's tweets racist.

But most GOP lawmakers have declined to go as far, even if they pushed back against the comments.
A number of Republicans in the House and Senate began speaking out against Trump's tweets on Monday after largely staying silent on Sunday.
