Dem Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Her Meadows’ ‘Prop’ Remarks: (Shortened) "Truth to Power"
Breitbart ^ | 2/28/2019 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 02/28/2019 12:10:22 PM PST by BadLands59

Thursday on CNN’s “New Day,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) defended her use of the term “prop” to describe her colleague Rep. Mark Meadows’ (R-NC) guest and Trump administration official Lynne Patton.

Co-host Alisyn Camerota asked Tlaib why she felt compelled initially to apologize to Meadows for the remark, to which the Michigan Democrat said she thought it was important to speak out about how she felt.

“You know, I just want folks to know — this is probably the most diverse class — this is the largest incoming class since Watergate,” Tlaib said. “And yeah, we look differently, and many of us didn’t run to be first of anything. But I think we ran because we not only wanted Congress to look differently but also speak differently and feel differently. And for me again, as a person and a member of that committee, I did not feel I should be silent about how that made me feel as an equal member to Mr. Meadows and many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. At that moment, it was important for me to speak truth to power. It was important for me to speak out against that action that I thought was very hurtful and very painful for many of us sitting in that committee room.”

This is what happens when Hamas goes to Congress..just like Omar, two Hamas members, who were caught on video LAUGHING at someone saying “Its all about the Benjamins” when referring to Israel..and they have the commie media in their back pocket so they are in full agreement with this kind of hateful BS

“speak truth to power.”

She’s in power, but no one will speak the truth about her.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is a PROP for CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood.

As such she will besmirch Congress and work to destroy
our Republic and the Constitution in violation of her oath of office.

Watch further for her war against America through the attempted use of Jew hatred and identity politics.

She deserves immediate censure and eventual expulsion from Congress.

House censures
See also: List of United States Representatives expelled, censured, or reprimanded

The House of Representatives is expressly authorized to censure within the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 5, clause 2).[23] In the House of Representatives, censure is essentially a form of public humiliation carried out on the House floor.[24] As the Speaker of the House reads out a resolution rebuking a member for a specified misconduct, that member must stand in the House well and listen to it.[25][26] This process has been described as a morality play in miniature.[27]

In the history of the House, censure has been used 23 times, and most of the cases arose during the 19th century.[24][25] In the modern history of the United States House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (since 1966), censure has been used five times.[24]

Maybe someone should alert Cummings and Meadows that she did, in fact, intend on saying exactly what they thought she said. Walking back the apology now........appalling how our HOR has fallen to the lowest depths of character (or complete lack therof).

let her rant on about death to the infidel, death to America.
its some of Obama’s seeds sprouting and gaining root faster than anyone imagined.We are seeing his returns on investment.

Some call it freedom of speech, others say Sharia is not at all compatible with America as its practitioners have one goal; to supplant the American constitution with Sharia.

Islam is an invasive, occupying enemy force, like cancer and needs to be treated that way.
With irradiation and irradication.

Some would call this hate speech, some would call it truth.
1400 years speaks loudly.

How is she and ‘equal member’? Equal member of what? A SPECIAL CLASS?!?

This is also the stupidest class of representatives in the history of the US.

She is right.. It is the most-est group ever diversity wise.. mostly made up of anarchists, election stealers, liberal activists, SJWs, unqualified, indoctrinated to incite hatred, invoke racism, out and out lie and openly insult anyone who disagrees with them.. Yup, they truly are representative of today’s America.. or at least how the lamebrain media portrays it to be.. racist, rich, evil.. the American Taliban.

for ‘many of us’ ???? A black woman wanted to stand up and say that she contradicts Cohen’s ‘trumps a racist’ claim and she’s called a PROP? Racist much, Tlaib? Tlaib might as well have called the young lady an Uncle Tom, because that is what she was really saying. Although I doubt Tlaib even knows what Uncle Tom means, seeing how briefly her family has been in the country to begin with.

Why do we have refugees in Congress?

I thought “truth to power” was only reserved for prophets.

For Americans? Mis representatives.
For Immigrants? She’s a sista.

She’s not at all representative of the American heritage, culture nor philosophy that made America the superstar hub of developed man that it is.

With immigration? We import the dirt of other nations in particular, the UN based turd world sitholes that islam created.

Maybe this raghead could give a speech about how her
“religion” treats homosexuals and women.

She could show pictures of them being thrown off tall buildings.

"....most diverse class since Watergate..." ?

Oh, so in the history of America, there were lots of blacks ( well, there were during Reconstruction! ), socalled "HISPANICS", stupid Muslims from the Middle East and Somalia, Jews, and vast numbers of women in Congress, were there? LOL

Talib needs to be recalled, but she won't be. She also needs to be, at the least sanctioned; bust she won't be. This anti-Semite needs to be made a backbencher and have NO seat on any committee!

Yeah mon. This gutter trash thinks electing some America-hating sleeper cell foreign agents who serve the interests of terrorists, not U.S. citizens, adds a nice touch of diversity to Congress. She should be thrown out on her fat rear end from Congress, and preferably, the country. Let her go join her beloved terrorist brethren in the ME, along with her BFF, the brother-marrying law-breaking Omar. Hopefully, a bullet will find them soon.

Having Tlaib and Omar in Congress is like dumping a load of feces into the chamber and then smearing it all over the floor. Both of them are a foul addition to a group already rife with foul, amoral parodies of human beings.

I’m just wondering how women, blacks in general and black women in particular, are going to react when they find out that an intelligent, hard-working and successful black woman is viewed as a “prop” by an Arab, Democrat Congresswoman, especially when it is pointed out that the biggest traders and holders of black slaves have, historically and at present, been Arabs?

Of course, women and blacks have to be informed of this - and that’s the job of the Republicans and the conservatives who oppose this racist wench and her ilk.
