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.”

iMPEACH A S A P. She is not an American if she doesn’t believe in our Constitution and HOW did she get on the ballot in the first place???
Trump ignores the constitution every day, he is not American he is the son of immigrants. His own family outside the US have disowned him.
We are all immigrants if u do your family tree,but we love America and want the best for our children an grandchildren. No people who against our constitution should ever be in our government.
I agree get er outta there now ! She’s a bud of Sarsours Bad News !!!!!
UN AMERICAN!! POTTY MOUTH DOES NOT BELONG IN CONGRESS PERIOD HOW DI THIS HAPPEN HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO HATES AMERICA BE IN CONGRESS, VOTE HER OUT
Impeach her!
Impeach her now
Why was this active Muslim elected to any office? This one in particular is obviously dangerous (as she threatened our President) and seems to be seriously mentally ill. If she can do what she did and be proud of it – what is she capable of? We have a Trojan Horse setup, starting with the people who will not swear on the Bible or uphold the constitution this country was founded on entering into positions of power. GET HER OUT NOW.
How did she ever get into office? TREASON FOR HER AND HER SO CALLED PEOPLE. She has poor character and is disgusting as a person?
IMPEACH THE BITC_.
how in Gods name did a woman of her background get into a government held seat of congress????? ABSOLUTE IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!! A.S.A.P.
GET HER OUT!!! Why would anybody vote for that is beyond me.
Impeach her now! She is un-American and does not represent our country’s views or values!
Impeach her now. SHE’S NOT AN AMERICAN. INSIDER FOR TEROISM IMPEACH PLEASE. Let’s make America Great Again.
She is absolutely unstable!!! Must Impeach..
I say Impeach her. If you look at past history we have had Russians be caught spying on the american people. Now it’s time to catch this Arab and send her home. Someone who isn’t even a legal citizen who lied about it has no right to be in office! She shouldn’t JUST BE IMPEACHED she must be DEPORTED. For the safety of the American people. To think this government allows someone into office just because she agree’s that Trump should be impeached. Their are many countries that would love to infiltrate the United States. This is one of them. IMPEACH Rashida Tlaib
Impeach, Impeach, Impeach ASAP
Yes yes yes!!! Get her OUT
It’s going to take another significant muslim terrorist event in the United States to RE-awaken Americans to the reality of Islamic violence. Hopefully it will start right there in Detroit where there seem to be far too many people willing to “vote stupid” and put a muslim in their own government.
Impeach Rashida Tlaib. Thats not appropriate behavoir.. She is possible causing troubles again..
Dump her out of her office and put in the Republican who ran against her.
