The Trump administration has said it does not consider the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 to be a genocide, contradicting a unanimous vote by the US Senate.
The historic vote last week incensed Turkey, which has always denied that the killings amounted to a genocide.
Turkey's foreign ministry on Friday summoned the US ambassador to express its anger over the vote, accusing the US of "politicising history".
Armenia says 1.5 million were killed in an effort to wipe out the ethnic group.
The killings took place in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire, the forerunner of modern-day Turkey.
"The position of the administration has not changed," said State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus in a statement on Tuesday. "Our views are reflected in the president's definitive statement on this issue from last April," she said.
In a statement last April on the anniversary of the killings, Mr Trump said the US paid tribute to the victims of "one of the worst mass atrocities of the 20th century", but he did not use the word genocide. Instead he encouraged Armenians and Turks to "acknowledge and reckon with their painful history".
What can I say, logic is not your strength. You are choosing to look at something he claims that is also impossible.I don't know what to tell ya - you're literally staring at what Trump said and claiming that he said something else; it's delusion. Do you think you drive a Bugatti too?
I wonder if Nancy will find some way to keep the articles of impeachment from the Senate. If this goes to trial, that's bad news for the Democrats.
Is this a serious question?
Is there any other trial I could possibly mean when we're discussing impeachment?
Read the news, dude. She's making demands with regards to the trial process in the Senate before releasing the articles. She's off her meds! The speaker of the HOUSE doesn't get to dictate how the SENATE conducts their hearings!
The Speaker of the House does, however, get to decide what gets sent to the Senate. Considering the Senate is supposed to act as the Jury and Moscow Mitch has publicly stated that he will work with the President's defense, and he has already taken a meeting with the White House to coordinate party efforts - I think it's perfectly reasonable for the lower chamber to withhold sending the articles of impeachment up to the Senate until a fair and impartial trial can be ensured.
This is what happens when you have a party that places loyalty to the party above loyalty to the country as a party platform.
McConnell has also refused to call witnesses that didn't appear for the House. The GOP is saying there isn't enough to impeach because witnesses didn't answer to the subpoenas, then they are saying they won't call those fact witnesses they are demanding testify, now the GOP is slinging rocks at the House for "not doing their homework" and openly defying their oath of office by shirking their Constitutionally mandated responsibility.
