Jumping up and down in a spittle-flecked rage even as she was being led away, she screamed “You’re crazy!” at the crowd.
That was nothing compared to what the first Palestinian-America woman elected to represent Michigan’s 13th congressional district as a Democrat, and before being given a seat on the House Oversight and Reform Committee did when she used her own teenage son as a prop to turn the air blue with an expression no decent mother ever wants used in the presence of her children:
Speaking at an event hosted by the group MoveOn about what her teenage son ALLEGEDLY said to her after she won the election. He told her, “Mama look, you won. Bullies don’t win.” Rep. Tlaib told the crowd that she had responded, “Baby, they don’t,’ because we’re gonna go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherf****r.” (

The Tweet author with the handle “#unapologeticallyMe” wrote the day after: “This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about all of us. In the face of this constitutional crisis, we must rise” and “I will always speak truth to power.”
“Truth to power” has diddly-squat to do with raging Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
Nor can anyone send Rashida Tlaib back to where she came from as she is already there in Democrat-crippled Detroit, Michigan—but she can be sent back to the ugly, deadly and destructive activism that gave her birth—and will be after the next election.
