Did the fake news media cover this person during the campaign and hear her produce this kind of hate?

Freshman Muslim Minnesota Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib: Democrat majority will ‘impeach the motherf—er.’

Democrat Freshmen Rashida Tlaib was not quite able to withhold her comments as she spoke those words to some of her constituents.

To think she was allowed to come to the U.S. and now a congresswoman and this is the low-down bar she holds – especially for the President of the U.S. So how can she possibly conduct her job with civility? As we can see Muslims just don’t have the mentality and the hate will never be any different. She is the one who needs to be impeached. What a disgrace.

Dems livid after Tlaib vows to ‘impeach the motherf—er’

Party leaders fear such explosive talk only gives ammunition to the GOP.

House Democrats are furious that an incoming freshman’s expletive-riddled statement about impeaching Donald Trump has suddenly upended their carefully crafted rhetoric on their plans to take on the president.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats have long argued that impeachment is a last resort that would come at the end of exhaustive oversight and investigations. But on the second day of the new Congress, the news was jammed with talk of Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who told a crowd of progressive activists Thursday night that “we’re gonna impeach the motherf—er.”

Rank-and-file Democrats, immediately fearful of the damage the comment could cause, unloaded on their new colleague Friday morning. Republicans, they argued, would hold it up as proof that Democrats are playing politics rather than pursuing genuine oversight of the president — even if the GOP never showed interest in investigating Trump scandals while it was in power.

“Mueller hasn’t even produced his report yet!” said Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), referring to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. “People should cool their jets a little bit, let the prosecutors do their job and finish the investigation.”

“Inappropriate,” added Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.). “As elected officials I think we should be expected to set a high bar… It’s not helpful.”

Even Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), who introduced an impeachment resolution earlier this week, was shocked. His eyes bulged in disbelief when a reporter read him Tlaib’s comments and he was speechless for several seconds.

After he regained his composure, Sherman said that kind of language is detrimental to the cause: “That’s not language I would use … I think the office of the presidency should be treated with respect.”

Party elders also sought to calm talk of impeachment without criticizing Tlaib directly. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the new chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, called Talib’s comments “inappropriate” and said, “We need to be patient.”

“You can’t accomplish very much of anything unless you have civility and show respect for your colleagues,” Cummings said. “Those kind of comments do not take us in the right direction.”

Pelosi said while she didn’t agree with the language, she also didn’t think anyone “should make a big deal” about the expletive, noting the president is also known for having a foul mouth sometimes.

“I’m not in the censorship business. I don’t like that language, I wouldn’t use that language, but I wouldn’t establish language standards for my colleagues,” Pelosi said during an MSNBC town hall Friday morning.

She added that impeachment is “very divisive“ and shouldn’t be taken “without the facts.”

Meanwhile, Republicans were already seizing on the comment to accuse Democrats of showing their true goal — removing Trump from office.

Tlaib’s comments over and over Friday morning. And Republicans were positively salivating at the notion of using the clip to repel accusations from House Democrats in any future impeachment fight.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launched into an attack on both Pelosi and Tlaib for the episode, calling on the new speaker to get Tlaib in line.

“[Pelosi] is the speaker of the House. She is also the head of the Democratic Party. She has a new freshman who uses that type of language, who has a determination what she’s gonna do with no facts or no basis,” McCarthy told reporters at an impromptu press conference just off the House floor. “How do you work with anybody if this is what they really have planned?”

McCarthy shrugged off questions about Trump’s own long history of incendiary language, saying “That action should not stand.”

Trump’s political advisers have long claimed that talk of impeachment works more to the president’s advantage, pointing to public opinion polls showing voters oppose efforts to impeach Trump despite wanting Congress to be more of a check on him.

Trump seized on the issue in a series of tweets Friday morning that reflected the precise message his team has already used — that pushing to remove Trump without evidence of wrongdoing would be perceived by voters as an attempt to undo his victory and prevent him from securing another win in 2020.

“How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Tlaib would not answer reporters’ shouted questions Friday morning as she exited a closed-door caucus meeting. But her office didn’t back down on her remarks in a tweeted statement Friday.

“Congresswoman Tlaib was elected to shake up Washington, not continue the status quo,” the statement said. “Donald Trump is completely unfit to serve as president. The congresswoman absolutely believes he needs to be impeached.”

The matter did not come up in House Democrats’ caucus meeting, sources in the room said. But multiple House Democrats said they hoped Pelosi or one of her top deputies would have a “chat” with Tlaib.

Debbie Dingell, a fellow Michigander who is close with Tlaib, also tried to downplay the issue Friday.

“She’s one member. We’re a large caucus,” she said. (Excuses,excuses.)

Others just expressed shock. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), a pastor, cried out “Jeez, no!” he said when told of her comments. “Oh lord.”

Costa argued that impeachment is not and should never be House Democrats’ “first and foremost priority.”

“The Mueller probe has to take its course, and when that’s complete, the House committees will do the appropriate oversight and we’ll determine whether or not there are justifications to move forward,” he said.

That’s the line Pelosi has been giving all year, dismissing the notion of impeaching Trump and focusing instead on Democratic policies like health care and infrastructure — a strategy that helped lead to a 40-seat midterm romp.

Democrats are acutely aware that Republicans will try to spin anything they do as “presidential harassment,” as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump have already dubbed it. They also know Republicans paid a political price when they impeached President Bill Clinton on a partisan basis — and they want to avoid the same fate, especially as they look toward 2020.

Rep. Kind, echoing many Democrats, told POLITICO that impeachment has to be bipartisan, though many other House Democrats disagree.

It is time to impeach this person. The fake news media have been covering for this woman and her hate. I can’t believe anyone would elect this person. All I can see is HATE and that is why she is there to disrupt the government. Plain and simple.
