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.”

Yes she
needs to go now
They swore to uphold the US constitution. Her statement totally violates that. She is not upholding what she has swore to do, to me that is treason. Not only should she be removed from office she also should be removed for this country. Obviously she is following her Palastinian’s laws instead of the US laws.
Impeach her and all muslims. They have no business in Washinton running this country into the ground.
Impeach this POS , throw her out of OURHOUSE! She doesn’t belong here in our country either!!!
Impeach!
Impeach
I say impeach her
A piece of democrats dumness
Rashida Tlaib, does not uphold the Constitution of the United States. She is vulgar, disrespectful and a disgrace to those who love this country and want to protect the land that we love. This is AMERICA, we need to stop the infiltration of the plaque that wants to infiltrate this county and destroy us and the principles in which this country was founded. Is this truly the type of person we want representing the people in Congress? Writing and trying to pass laws that propagate her/their agenda to destroy America? HELL NO, she needs to go.
Who voted her ? I wonder
IMPEACH HER
I AGREE 100% THAT THEY NEED TO IMPEACH HER.
I’m all for iimpeaching her. Does not have a heart after America.
Where is the petition? To get rid of this uneducated, and vulgar woman. She obviously is not American and now is commanding a six figure salary attempting to impeach a sitting president!!! Whis is this piece of trash who has no decorum in speaking. Who obviously has allegiance to her Palestine Country above America, and is in favor of her Dad is law? Perhaps she needs to return home so she’s more at home and work to make policy and laws for her people in the middle east. If you don’t want yo assimilate an American culture, you should leave. I did. I was a foreigner, from s communist country in fact. I am an American Citizen and would due for this country. English is my first language. I’m as American as apple pie! Nd. Takin Rashid is something else! She needs to pack up and go back to Palestine!
SHE IS NOT FIT TO REPRESENT POND SCUM !!! IMPEACH HER NOW !!!
President TRUMP is NOT GOING TO BE IMPEACHED!! No matter how much you wacked out iberals want it….
Jail is too good for her. Send her back to her country or hang her for treason.
