A Change.org petition calling for the impeachment of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-13) already has close to 160,000 signatures.
“This woman is an anti-Semite, a war mongering hate filled Palestinian who has vowed to try and destroy our constitutional rights, hates America, hates American citizens,” the petition states. “She’s a danger to our sovereignty, a detriment to society, and to this country, and is unfit to serve in any capacity within our government.”
The petition also takes issue with Tlaib’s election, claiming that she “lied about living in Detroit” by “using her father’s house address.”
Tlaib made headlines earlier this week when she vowed to “impeach the motherf—” during a party in celebration of her being sworn in to Congress.
“I stand by impeaching the president of the United States. I ran on that,” she said in an interview discussing her comments. She called her promise to impeach President Donald Trump something she “very much” holds “dearly.”
“They love that I’m real, and that I am very much focused on getting the government back up and running, but also making sure we’ve held the president of the United States accountable,” she said.
Tlaib later apologized that her comments caused a “distraction,” but refused to apologize for the explicit remarks.
“I understand that I am a member of Congress, and I don’t want anything that I do or say to distract us. And that’s the only thing that I apologize for—that it was a distraction,” Tlaib told reporters, calling the backlash she’s faced a “teachable moment.”
As Battleground State News reported this week, Tlaib was pictured with anti-Semite and known defender of Sharia law Linda Sarsour after she was sworn in. Sarsour posted several pictures with Tlaib, calling her a “congresswoman of the people.”

Get rid of her. She’s an embarrassment of everything this country stands for. She will do nothing but insight further problems. She’s got a filthy mouth. We need other countries to respect us,not laugh at us.

O think we need to get rid of this racist. She has no business in the United States.. Impeach her now..
Get rid of her! She needs to go back to her native country and enforce her beliefs and religion back on them… not us.. Americans! We are “One nation under God” not Islam…. so she wants her shit, she needs to go back to that part of the world where it’s all her and Islam… no place for it here in America… 1952 Congress passed a law doing away with Shari Law… it’s time for congress to pass one to get rid of the Koran and it’s belief, it is a religion of “hate and murder.”
