Freshman House member on Trump: We're gonna impeach the mother****er

Yesterday the media was filled with feel-good stories about how the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress would be sworn in on a Koran once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

Now there is a new narrative.

From the Detroit Free Press:
Well, this is one way to make your presence known on your first day in office.

Rashida Tlaib, who earlier Thursday was sworn in as one of Michigan's new Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, delivered a strong message to a group of supporters that night at an event for MoveOn.org, a progressive and social justice advocacy group.

Again, Tlaib, representing the 13th Congressional District in Detroit, called for an impeachment of President Donald Trump. This time, she threw in an expletive.

"People love you. And you win," she told a cheering crowd in a 20-second video published on Twitter. "And when your son looks at you and says, 'Momma, look you won, bullies don’t win.' And I said, 'Baby, they don't,' because we’re gonna go in there and we're gonna impeach the mother****er."
The leftists in the audience weren't horrified by the MF bomb. They cheered. I thought the Democrats, after the election of Donald Trump as president, were on the record for more civility in our political discourse.

WARNING--Video is not safe for work!

Classy. Very classy. Just what you'd expect from a Dem.
