Yesterday, Representative Tlaib (D-MI) posted a video to Instagram saying, “Hey everyone. I am on my way to the United States House floor to impeach President Trump on behalf of my incredible district.” This contradicts with Speaker Pelosi’s (D-CA) message to House Democrats to remain solemn during the impeachment process. Watch Tlaib’s video below:

Rashida ‘Impeach that MF’ Tlaib posted this giddy video on Instagram today.
But Pelosi had the audacity to say on live TV today that this is a ‘somber day’ and no one wanted this.

Tlaib has called for impeaching President Trump for many months. During a campaign event in 2018, she notably said that “We’re gonna impeach the Mother F*****!” Recently, Tlaib claimed that “White supremacy kills” in reference to the deadly anti-Semitic shooting in Jersey City at a Kosher Market. As it turns out, the attackers were Black Hebrew Israelites, whose members often rail against Jews and whites. To read more about the horrific act of violence, read this Daily Mail article.
In a statement published on Tlaib’s congressional website, she stated this impeachment vote has always been about protecting the future of our nation from corruption, abuse of power, and bribery. Additionally, “It was my honor to vote yes today because my two sons, their children, and their children’s children will look back on this time as one where justice prevailed in the people’s House. In the meantime, I will continue to shine a light on the ongoing racist abuses of power of this President and fight back against the heartless administration carrying out his dangerous agenda.” Read her full statement here.
During the vote, Pelosi hushed Democratic congress members who celebrated the passage of the articles of impeachment against President Trump. Watch this below:

This morning, Speaker Pelosi held a press conference where she stated that she did not care what Republicans have to say. Fox News Host Laura Ingram tweeted that this tone is much different from when Pelosi stated that she has been prayful throughout this entire process. See her tweet and Pelosi speaking below:
This “prayerful” Pelosi sure has moved a long way from idea that impeachment needed to be bipartisan. https://t.co/TF1hAJxHDP

New York Post writer Michael Goodwin wrote that this impeachment process has damaged America. He also cites how Speaker Pelosi held back on impeachment for a while, but gave in to the far left Democratic members, including Representative Tlaib and the “Squad.” In March, Pelosi stated, “Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path.”
He concludes his article by writing, “That was consistent with Pelosi’s latest demand that her members stay “solemn” in public, so as not to give the impression that they were gloating and joyful. In other words, hide how you really feel so we can fool more people into joining us. Only the damage to America is real.” Read his full article here. Cover of the New York Post on December 19 below:
