President Trump continued his criticism of Rep. Rashida Tlaib by saying he had seen a video of her from 2016 where she looked like a “crazed lunatic.”
“There’s no way she stands for the values of the people of Michigan. But I watched her this morning. She’s vicious, she’s like a crazed lunatic,” Trump said Tuesday at a Turning Point USA event. “She’s screaming. This before she got into Congress. Who elected her? She’s screaming like a total lunatic at one of our rallies. It’s like I’m giving a little rally, and she starts screaming. This is not a sane person, folks.”
Video from 2016 resurfaced this week of the screaming Michigan Democrat being forcibly removed from a 2016 Trump event.
A bystander can be heard yelling, “You’re an animal!” and “Get a job!” as two security officials drag Tlaib from the event.
Trump started a war of words with Tlaib after calling for her and some other 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!

Tlaib, 43, responded by calling Trump a “racist president” and saying she would “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
