DC: Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib got into a heated disagreement with Republican North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows during Michael Cohen’s Wednesday afternoon testimony.
Meadows had invited Lynn Patton, a black woman who oversees public housing in New York and New Jersey for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to the hearing. Some suggested the invitation was actually an attempt to push back on Cohen’s claim that President Donald Trump is a racist.
“Lynne Patton says she would not work for a man who is racist,” Meadows said, in response to Cohen’s accusation of racism. “She disagrees with you.”
Then, during Tlaib’s time to question Cohen, she addressed Meadows’ decision to invite Patton.
She began, “Just to make a note Mr. Chairman, just because someone has a person of color, a black person, working for them does not mean they aren’t racist. And it is insensitive that some would even say it’s — the fact that someone would actually use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee is alone racist in itself.”
Meadows then interrupted her, but Tlaib continued.
He pushed back again, “Mr. Chairman, I ask that her words when she is referring to an individual member of this body be taken down and stricken from the record. I’m sure she didn’t intend to do this. But if anyone knows my record as it relates it should be you, Mr. Chairman.”
After some bickering, Chairman Elijah Cummings asked if Tlaib wanted to rephrase her statement, but she simply repeated her previous prepared statement. more here
And then…
Rashida Tlaib ‘apologizes’ for calling Meadows racist but insists he committed ‘racist act’.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., “apologized” Wednesday after she accused Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., of being racist for using an African American woman as a “prop” to prove that President Trump is not racist, but she nevertheless suggested Meadows had committed a “racist act.”
The democrat scum is rising to the top for all to see.
But there is none so blind as those who WILL NOT see.
Tlaib is evil personified. Her only means of communication are vulgarities, insults and slurs. And this is what Detroit elected as its representative. She is another Muslim bigot.
It is not islamophobia … don’t fear the motherfuckers, just hate their damn guts. The fact that Democrats cannot see their continuous deceptions is mind-boggling.
Or sinking to the bottom, where it hopefully can all be flushed.
And, being a token Raghead, how does that make you feel, Ma’am?
Gosh. Why is Rashida Tlaib convinced that all black witnesses are incapable of providing testimony?
Meadows made an error in judgement by responding to her seriously. He should have laughed her off as the extremist she is. Why give her any credibility? She should be censured.
In this sharmuta’s native language, Arabic, the word for slave, abeed, is the same word for a black person. So, who is the racist here?
What a sick animal tlaib is.
Pity her poor kid.
How was drunk enough to have sex with her?
New name for RT …. Rashithead Tlaib
And for Allah’s sake, Rashithead, will you buy yourself a vowel so that a human being can actually pronounce your last name
My biggest problem is Meadows reaction… the pussy looks like he’s on the verge of tears. Does he seriously cry if someone calls him a racist, especially someone like Talib?! That’s embarrassing. A grown man crying? Grow some balls Meadows and tell that bitch to fuck off.
