Rashida Tlaib Calls Trump a 'Racist in Chief' as House Begins Impeachment Vote

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called President Donald Trump a“racist in chief” and accused her Republican colleagues of empowering him on Tuesday during debate in the House of Representatives over whether to impeach him for "incitement of insurrection.

Tlaib said “Those who incited an attack on the people’s house do not get to talk about unity. They have stoked the fire and then handed the can of gasoline to Donald Trump.”

It's funny to see a racist using words like "racist".

Term limits would solve so many problems. We should drop everything to focus on getting this done. I'm shocked no one is fighting for this. Power for long periods of time causes curruption.
