"Tlaib's tweet holds new relevance amid the outrage over Trump's attacks on the so-called "Squad" made up of Reps. Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass."For all of her histrionic jumping, screeching and vulgar language at a Trump rally from which she was unceremoniously booted, Tlaib was then--and still is--an out and out RACIST, living under the Commie rule that some Racists are more equal than others.

"Khizr Khan, whose son was killed in action, challenged Trump to read the Constitution at the Democratic National Convention. (Bustle) "Tlaib took a page from Khan's playbook and stood up while Trump was giving a speech at Detroit Economic Club on Aug. 8, 2016. She yelled at the presidential candidate, "Have you ever read the U.S. Constitution? You need to read the U.S. Constitution!" Tlaib also told him, "Our kids deserve better." She and 13 others were removed by security. "After the news broke at the time-- that a former state legislator had been ejected from the Trump event -- Tlaib decided to address the issue head-on in an op-ed for the Detroit Free Press. "I have heard critics calling it unbecoming of a former state legislator. Well, I believe it is unbecoming of any American to not stand up to Trump's hate-filled rhetoric and tactics," Tlaib wrote. She said that she was thinking more about other identities when she protested the event. "American, parent, Muslim, Arab-American, and woman," she wrote. "Tlaib wrote that she was convinced that speaking out was the "patriotic" thing to do:
Courteous behavior can't be reserved for someone who labels hardworking Mexican immigrants who have come to pursue the American Dream as "rapists." Social niceties are not in order for men who would turn away refugees fleeing for their lives based on their faith to have them suffer in camps. And complacency is not warranted for a presidential candidate who denigrates a mother and father who have lost their child in the ultimate sacrifice of military service.""Since then, Tlaib has not backed down. In July she was on the streets in Detroit to protest the Trump travel ban ruling. The Supreme Court kept the travel ban intact. Tlaib said it wasn't just a ruling and said it increases "outrage, violence, and hate toward other Americans." "Her outspokenness is here to stay. "As a responsible parent who continues to reflect and read the criticisms of my actions," she wrote in her op-ed, "I think of my two boys and I remind myself: silence is not an option and it never should be."
"I'm not going nowhere, not until I impeach this president," she said during a speech Monday. (Fox News)For someone who prizes vulgar expressions like "A-hole' and "MotherF----" in her personal vocabulary, it's not likely Tlaib realizes she used a double negative in her latest threat. And even less likely that she realizes she's not going anywhere other than back to the gutter of hard left activism when she's mercifully booted out of office next election.
