Rashida Tlaib: I Urge Democratic Leadership to ‘Impeach’ Trump

‘We remain focused on holding him accountable to the laws of this land and accountable to the American people’

EXCERPT:

TLAIB: “I was elected to fight for them. Fight for the 13th congressional district. They sent me here to Congress to fight back against the corporate assault and the corruption in our country. This means supporting an impeachment inquiry of this President and his actions by the Administration and his appointees. Sadly, this is not the first nor will it be the last time we hear disgusting bigoted language from the President. We know this is who he is. And we know that he and his Administration are constantly engaged in actions that harm residents and American people in our country. Many members of Congress have called for his impeachment because of his utter disregard and disrespect of the United States Constitution, and despite this and other many attempts to distract us, I remain focused. We remain focused on holding him accountable to the laws of this land and accountable to the American people. I urge House leadership, many of my colleagues, to take action to impeach this lawless President today. And now we’ll take two or three questions."
