Democratic Reps launch ‘no confidence’ resolution against President Trump

Coverage Type: 

A group of Democratic Reps stepped up criticism of President Donald Trump, introducing a “no confidence” resolution that officially questions President Trump’s fitness to serve as commander in chief. It logs a laundry list of controversies swirling around the president — including his campaign’s many contacts with Russian officials, his refusal to release his taxes, his verbal attacks on women and the press, and his firing of FBI Director James Comey. Sponsored by Rep Steve Cohen (D-TN), the resolution has been endorsed by 23 more Democratic Reps, including Reps John Lewis (D-GA), John Yarmuth (D-KY), David Cicilline (D-RI), and Judy Chu (D-CA). President Trump’s track record, Rep Cohen said, exposes “a president that you wouldn’t want your children to look up to." "The way he talks about women, the press, the language he uses, the use of Twitter — you don’t want him to be a role model,” he said.
