MOGOP Statement on Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Vile Comment

Immediately after being sworn in, Michigan Democrat and member of the Democrat Socialists of America Rep. Rashida Tlaib told a group that “we’re going to impeach the motherf****r”. The comment was made in reference to President Trump. Today, Tlaib doubled down by insisting she showed no remorse via her Twitter account. In response, MOGOP Executive Director Ray Bozarth released the following statement calling on Missouri Democrat Party Chair Jean Peters Baker to denounce Tlaib’s comment:

“If the Missouri Democrat Party and their Chair Jean Peters Baker don’t want another shellacking at the polls in 2020, the math says they have to court Trump voters. Which means Baker needs to find the courage to start pushing back on these attacks on President Trump. That starts with her denouncing Rep. Tlaib’s comments about impeaching “the motherf****r.” said Bozarth. He added “Baker needs to denounce this attack now, or risk alienating more Missouri voters.”
