Illinois Democrat calls on RNC to publicly denounce Donald Trump

Illinois Review reports:
State Rep. Edward Acevedo (D-Chicago) is angry with GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and what Acevedo called "derogatory comments" towards women and Latinos. Tuesday, the ten-term lawmakers introduced a House resolution calling on the RNC to denounce Trump and "distance themselves from him in the future."

Acevedo's resolution says "Donald Trump has repeatedly made misogynistic, sexist, and derogatory comments towards women; and Donald Trump has repeatedly made offensive and abhorrent comments towards people of Latino descent, Mexican immigrants, and Asians .."

If the resolution passes, Acevedo wants copies of the resolution sent to the Republican congressional leaders, RNC Chairman Rheince Priebus and the GOP members of the Illinois delegation.

The resolution could be voted on when the Illinois House returns at a yet to be determined date.
No word yet on when Republicans will demand that Democrats distance themselves from Bernie Sanders style socialism in a resolution.
