House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated she won't take any step to reprimand freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., after she called President Trump a “motherfucker†and said Democrats would impeach him.
“I probably have a generational reaction to it,†Pelosi told MSNBC’s Joy Reid when asked her response to the comments. “But in any event, I'm not in the censorship business.â€
“I don't think that — I mean, I don't like that language. I wouldn't use that language,†Pelosi said. “I don't, again, establish any language standards for my colleagues. But I don't think it's anything worse than what the president has said.â€
Tlaib made the comments about removing Trump from the White House during an event hosted by MoveOn as she shared a conversation she had with her son.
“Look mama, you won. Bullies don’t win," Tlaib recounted her son saying.
“You’re right, they don’t. And we’re gonna go in and impeach the bleep," Tlaib said.
