Hours after Rashida Tlaib was sworn in yesterday as one of the two first Muslim female members of Congress (along with Minnesota's Ilhan Orar), she told a cheering crowd about her mission against President Donald Trump: "Impeach the Motherf------," The Daily Beast website reports today (January 4, 2019).
The Michigan Democrat expanded her comments in an op-ed for the Detroit Free Press, writing, "The president has committed impeachable offenses, including, just to name a few: obstructing justice; violating the emoluments clause; abusing the pardon power; directing law enforcement to prosecute political adversaries for improper purposes..."
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi today excused Congresswoman Tlaib's vulgar language.
Pelosi said, "That would not be the language I would use [to describe President Trump], but nonetheless, I don't think we should make a big deal of it. I really don't."
