New House Democrat Rashida Tlaib: 'We're gonna impeach the motherf****r'
"Washington (CNN)Hours after she was sworn in to Congress, Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib used an expletive Thursday in pushing for impeaching President Donald Trump.
Speaking to a crowd at an event sponsored by the progressive group MoveOn, Tlaib recalled the moment she won her election in November.
"And when your son looks at you and says, 'Mama look, you won. Bullies don't win,' and I said, 'Baby, they don't,' because we're gonna go in there and we're going to impeach the motherf****r," Tlaib said Thursday, speaking of Trump, according to a video posted on Twitter by Nestor Ruiz, an activist with United We Dream."

Rashida speaks her mind and Speaks Truth To Power....
Here is an example of her confronting a Property Owner on the Environmental Damaging Pet Coke in Southwest Detroit while as a State Representative in the Michigan House:

The far left plants a marker and little by little we move toward it. That's how it should be. If there was no left marker we would not have anything to move toward and we remain stagnate.

(15,124 posts)Does anyone think this choice of words won't be used by all sorts of knuckle daggers to raise money for the Orange One?
The language does not offend me. The thoughtlessness does.

(16,370 posts)At first I was sort of annoyed about her comments after reading posts cheering her on from people here, many of which dont seem to know much about politics, or pragmatic thinking and are mostly emotion driven.
But then I thought well shes expressing what many feel. I just want to see some follow through on all the big talk. If you say youre going to impeach the mother fucker, you had better actually do it.

(658 posts)But I tend to admire those who find more powerful ways to express themselves than vulgarity. And I'm a woman known to drop the f-bomb constantly (including calling the orange shit-stain a mofo), so hypocrite I be. But I wasn't just elected to serve the country as a leader, so I'm not gonna hold myself to the same standards I would like to hold my leaders.

(26,060 posts)We ALL agree with her. That's not the point. Handing the putrid cons ammunition on a day we should talking about the history happening all around us is counter-productive. I also do not swear at work.

(82,849 posts)I'd say it's a rather mild expletive to use in relation to an administration that is forcibly separating families, kidnapping their children, caging and torturing those children, and even having them die in their custody. If being called a "motherfucker" is the worst that happens to Trump and his minions, they should be on their knees every evening thanking the deity of their choice that they haven't had to provide more of an answer for their crimes against humanity.
