Representative Rashida Tlaib, Democrat of Michigan, beat back a formidable primary challenge Tuesday from a repeat rival, widening her 2018 margin of victory and helping to cement the staying power of the progressive women of color who have shaped the party’s House majority.
Ms. Tlaib, 44, defeated Brenda Jones, 60, the president of the Detroit City Council, according to The Associated Press. It was a flag-planting moment for Ms. Tlaib in her predominantly Black district, which includes portions of Detroit and its suburbs, as she easily defeated a prominent African-American leader with whom she split election wins two years ago.

Gives us a pretty clear idea of the mentality and anti-Americanism of her congressional district.
Surprised there is any one left in the Detroit s***hole to vote.
It must be her good looks ;-)
There isn’t. I bet it was “ballot harvesting” and “mail in votes” that gave her the “win”.
You need to hand out Vomit bags before making such an assertion.
What the heck is wrong with people???? Can’t they ever learn?
I’ve been asking that since Ruby Ridge.
Apparently, the answer is a resounding “No”.
Because Arab Americans are not officially recognized as a federal minority group, it is hard to determine the exact number of Arab Americans in Michigan. The estimates range from 409,000 to 490,000 based on information from the Michigan Health Department and the Zogby International polls respectively. In the Greater Detroit area, estimates range from 300,000 to 350,000. https://www.arabamerica.com/michigan/
That's how.
So were there mail-in ballots involved here?
If you find livestock attractive... Sure. UBU...
When I lived in the Detroit area the majority of Arabs there were Christians. That’s probably changed now.
Tlaib a looker: As I recall, Yassir swung from the other side of the plate.
No.
Are we apathy?
Apathy was the 1950’s, after the great war. We’re in dependence, about to enter bondage.
Unfortunately we’ll get what they voted for.
