Openly “bragging” about President Donald Trump being “scared” of you and Sister “Squad” members won’t get you anywhere, Rashida Tlaib.
It won’t get you anywhere because “It’s the kind of braggadocio that only bullies choose to use.
“Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has claimed that President Trump is “scared” of her and her fellow “Squad” members in the wake of her canceled trip to Israel and the subsequent feud with the president.” (Fox News, Aug. 26, 2019)“It’s been very clear to me, especially this last week, that he’s scared of us,” Tlaib said in an interview with The Guardian that was published Saturday. “He’s afraid of women of color … because we’re not afraid of him and we’re not afraid to speak up and say that we have a white supremacist in the White House who has a hate agenda.”Bully Tlaib smears the president as a “white supremacist” in her name-calling. Lost in her hate spewing is that while she calls Trump a “white supremacist” in her hate spewing, the president never called Tlaib and her fellow travellers, women of color’—they did. Nor does the radical representative from Michigan recognize a “hate agenda” even though it stares her straight in the face. It’s not President Trump who advances the “hate agenda” but the “We HATE! Trump” Democrat Party desperate to return to power.
“He’s afraid because we have a real agenda for the American people,” she said.” (Fox News)
“Trump has frequently scrapped with the four progressive congresswomen – Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y, Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. – since they entered Congress in January. (Fox News) “The most recent battle came last week when Omar and Tlaib, known for their strong criticisms of Israel, were blocked from traveling to the country. Israel later granted permission to Tlaib to visit her Palestinian grandmother, but Tlaib decided she did not want to abide by the restrictions placed on her about promoting boycotts of Israel. “She said I’m her dream manifested,” Tlaib said of her grandmother at a press conference. “I’m her free bird so why would I come back and be caged and bow down?”Tlaib was also granny’s “free bird” during the 15 years she never went to visit her.

“Trump suggested the moment was not genuine. (Fox News) “Sorry, I don’t buy Rep. Tlaib’s tears. I have watched her violence, craziness and, most importantly, WORDS, for far too long,” the president tweeted. “Now tears? She hates Israel and all Jewish people. She is an anti-Semite. She and her 3 friends are the new face of the Democrat Party. Live with it!” “In her interview with the left-wing outlet, Tlaib said that the Squad’s radical ideas – such as Medicare-for-all, a Green New Deal, and higher taxes on the rich -- are more popular with Americans than Trump’s policies. (Fox News) “He can bring it,” she said, “because we actually have policies that came from the people. What he’s doing by choosing us four as his target is trying to distract folks from the fact that more people are living in poverty than ever, because he has failed as a president.”It’s the destructive policies of the party to which Tlaib has sworn loyalty that have kept people living in poverty—a state that has remained the same for long decades. Bully Rashida Tlaib’s kind of victimhood as a ‘woman of color’ boasts a bravado that is laced by lies. Meanwhile, the president and millions of Americans are not scared of the likes of tough-talking Bully Rashida Tlaib—only repulsed by her.
