A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE DISAPPROVAL OF THE MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE COMMENTS
OF DONALD TRUMP AND TO PUBLICLY STATE THAT HE
IS NOT WELCOME IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, Donald Trump held a rally at the Winthrop Coliseum in
Rock Hill on January 8th, 2016; and
Whereas, during the rally, Trump made many inflammatory
comments on immigration and Islam; and
Whereas, Rose Hamid, a Muslim woman, was removed from the
rally for her silent protest, which was cheered on by the crowd
after Trump had played to their fears regarding Islam; and
Whereas, Trumps abrasive and racist rhetoric has been the
backbone of his campaign since he announced he was running for
President in June; and
Whereas, Trumps campaign tactics have drawn the attention of
many concerned citizens, including U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham,
who has referred to Trump as race-baiting, xenophobic bigot;
and
Whereas, Rock Hill has a long history of fighting racism and
proudly displays their No Room For Racism motto on all city
limit signs; and
Whereas, South Carolinians have tirelessly worked to overcome a
history of hatred and bigotry and there is no place in this State for
anyone who espouses hatred and bigotry as a campaign slogan.
Now, therefore,
