Donald Trump Jr. went after Rep. Rashida Tlaib for a 2015 tweet in which she vulgarly advocated deporting his father.
“That’s awkward. It’s like their whole narrative just disappeared… but you all know no one will cover it,” Trump Jr. said Tuesday on Twitter.

Trump Jr.’s attack on the Michigan Democrat comes the same day as a 2015 tweet resurfaced in which Tlaib shared an article about the president with the caption “Deport this a–hole!”
The president sparked a firestorm earlier this month when he told Tlaib and her fellow liberal congresswomen to “go back” to their home countries.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……

….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

The 43-year-old freshman representative responded the same day by calling Trump “this racist President” and promising to “fight back.”
#13thDistrictStrong: I will #neverbackdown and no bully, even this racist President, will waiver the work we have to do for our residents of Wayne County. Together, we will fight back, speak truth to power, and become stronger for it. #rootedincommunity #BoostAct #JusticeforAll pic.twitter.com/XkAcPA3FlL

“Yeah, I’m not going nowhere! Not until I impeach this president,” Tlaib said Monday.

Video also recently resurfaced that depicts Tlaib being forcibly removed from an event in 2016, during which she heckled then-candidate Donald Trump while he was giving a speech. “You’re all crazy!” she yelled, as security dragged her out of the venue.
Referencing the video, President Trump labeled Tlaib “a crazed lunatic” in a Tuesday speech.
