The US House of Representatives has voted to symbolically condemn President Donald Trump after a series of attacks aimed at four congresswomen, APA reports citing BBC.
The resolution denounced Mr Trump's "racist comments that have legitimised fear and hatred of New Americans and people of colour".
It passed by 240 votes to 187 in the Democratic-controlled chamber.
Mr Trump has defended his calls for the four women to leave the US, saying: "I don't have a Racist bone in my body!"
All Democratic members were joined by four Republicans and the chamber's sole independent, former Republican lawmaker Justin Amash, to approve the resolution.
In a series of tweets on Sunday, the president said Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe" and should "go back".
