发帖数: 61690 | 1 A group of House Democrats is turning to legislation to call out President
Trump and his White House for their history false statements and
disregarding the truth.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) introduced a resolution that calls for “
opposing fake news and alternative facts.” Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu (Calif
.) and John Lewis (Ga.) signed on as co-sponsors.
If adopted, the resolution would put the House on record as stating, “the
United States should continue being a democracy, not an autocracy.”
The measure establishes the sense of the House that “the president must
immediately acknowledge his support of the First Amendment and express his
support for United States democracy” and “White House spokespersons should
not issue fake news.”
“White House spokespersons who offer alternative or inaccurate facts should
retract their statements immediately,” it adds.
The resolution cites Trump and press secretary Sean Spicer’s attempts to
inflate the crowd sizes at the inauguration despite photos showing otherwise
; White House counselor Kellyanne Conway citing a nonexistent “Bowling
Green massacre” to justify Trump’s initial travel ban; and Trump’s
unsubstantiated claim that he lost the popular vote because of illegal
voting. |
