Speaker Pelosi has every right to protect Freshman Congresswomen when they are attacked by the president. I think it is safe to say if there was any disagreement within the Democrat Congress it is definitely over.

From left to right is Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocsio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley. 

The tweet Donald J. Trump stated was; "Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan “anti-Israel” and “anti-USA,” and then falsely claimed they are “pro-terrorist.”

At a press conference where the president ranted against the women, cameras caught that he even had the phonetic spelling of the terrorist group on his notes— “Alcaida” (this is a phonetic spelling of al Qaeda, he is pathetic) —seemingly to remind himself to bring it up and to remember how it’s pronounced.

I proud of the US House of Representatives as they face racism unafraid to call it out. It needs to be noted the attacks by Trump and FOX News propagates telephone calls to these women threatening them with death. That is absolutely no behavior for a president or his favorite news media. 

There should be no appeasement of this president as it interprets into death threats.
