Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) had not even clocked in a full 24 hours as a congresswoman before making enemies in Washington, including several in her own party. On Thursday night, hours after being sworn in to the 116th Congress, Tlaib grabbed a microphone and pledged to impeach President Trump, whom she referred to as a "mother f***er."
Veterans Democrats in the House noted how...unhelpful her little speech was.
"You can't accomplish very much of anything unless you have civility and show respect for your colleagues," Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said. "Those kind of comments do not take us in the right direction."
Cummings, who takes over as new chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, added that Tlaib's comments were "inappropriate."
"We need to be patient," he said, whatever that means.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) had some of the same complaints.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on Rashida Tlaib's vow to impeach Trump: "I don't really like that kind of language, but more to the point, I disagree with what she said. It is too early to talk about that intelligently. We have to follow the facts" https://t.co/Ctwc5n4hGK pic.twitter.com/OsCOTQnuj2— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) January 4, 2019
Even Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), who introduced actual articles of impeachment against Trump, was appalled by Tlaib's remarks.
“That’s not language I would use," he said. "I think the office of the presidency should be treated with respect.”
If only the Democratic leadership took such a strong stance on Tlaib's language. When asked to respond to the freshman representative's comments, the best Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi could come up with was, "I'm not in the censorship business," before pivoting to criticize President Trump's language.
"Generationally, that would not be language I would use, but nonetheless, I don’t think we should make a big deal of it," Pelosi said, adding that what Tlaib said was "nothing worse" than what's come out of the president's mouth.
Good cop, bad cop. It’s all bull$hit. They 100% agree with the Mohammadan traitor Tlaib.
That doesn’t sound like furious to me.
It means she spoke too soon. Everyone knows the plan, but you're not supposed to talk about the plan. It's like Fight Club.
Here she is heckling then candidate Trump at a rally in Michigan back in 2016:
BHN looks perturbed
Freshman,’RAT muzzie politician calling the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES a “m*****f*****. You’ve come a long way baby. A real credit to Detroitistan.
She is not an Islamist......... she has no rag on her head
These people are going to beat Trump? Hahahaha.
Islam understands patience very well. The quote could be good advice from a mohammedan fellow.
ASAP, we need to uncover her and other Muslim Congresspeople's membership in, and support for,
organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt. This activity requires expulsion from Congress.
What does Rashita know about this-----is that the smiling al-Houthi at her swearing in...looking over Nancy's shoulder?

“...he said. “I think the office of the presidency should be treated with respect.”
Ya think?
They are furious that she publicly expressed their private feelings and plans.
Actually, they’ve done us all a favor.
The threat of impeachment can tie your hands, and arguably has tied Trump’s hands to some extent until now.
But the certainty of it is liberating. If you do xyz we will impeach. If you don’t do xyx we will impeach. If you have orange juice with your breakfast we will impeach and if you don’t we’ll still impeach.
That frees Trump to completely ignore them, ignore their subpoenas, ignore any law they pass (and let it die untouched by the senate), ignore their demands for information and testimony, tax records, whatever. Because, what are they going to do, impeach him?
As long as at least two thirds of senate Republicans still back him, he is impervious. He can proceed to mock Pelosi without mercy for the next two years at least.
Exactly
In front of the media they are “furious”
Outside the media they are cheering her on. In private they are giving each other high fives.
So nobody in the it-takes-a-village bunch has a problem with the fact that she said this to her child?!?
In disguise
Folks...Just another piece of Democrat Pelosi Democrat human scum & vermin!!! Americans....ya got just what you voted for, low life America destroyers. What a difference from this low life woman compared to slain California Police Officer, Ronil Singh.
God bless POTUS, Donald J. Trump. The Border Wall will be built. You have already won....boss!!!
Absolutely... If this came out of Cumming’s mouth it is a lie.
