Rep. Tlaib on AOC: ‘Violence Against Women in Politics Specifically Is a Global Problem’

‘I would invite any of my colleagues across the aisle to answer the calls into my office for just one day, to hear the vile, sexist remarks made about me and other women serving in this chamber’

EXCERPT:

TLAIB: “Violence against women in politics specifically is a global problem. I know. I would invite any of my colleagues across the aisle to answer the calls into my office for just one day, to hear the vile, sexist remarks made about me and other women serving in this chamber. When my colleague from Florida made the remark in question, he echoed and perpetuated those sexist, violent calls. Madam Speaker, we must condemn in the strongest terms possible this kind of violent sexism so that women and girls across the country know that there is no room in any workplace, not in Congress, not anywhere. Thank you.”
