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.”

Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress, came under fire earlier this year after she said during an event the House is “going to impeach the motherfucker,” in reference to Trump.
