Rashida Tlaib casts doubt on 2020 election: Trump is ‘cheating’

Published



Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., went after President Trump’s administration for refusing to release documents related to changes in the citizenship question, saying Trump was cheating ahead of the 2020 election.

“This is about not counting everyone that is in our country. This is a political motive,” the Michigan Democrat said Wednesday about the Trump administration refusing to release documents related to their decision to include a citizenship question on the census. “I have to say to this fact, this is cheating in many ways, an election. This is cheating by saying we don’t want to count everybody. We want to count as less people as possible, and that impacts directly communities of color.”
