House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested Friday that criticism of freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her “impeach the motherfucker†remark is driven by sexism and, while she does not condone the Michigan Democrat’s language, she is “not in the censorship business.â€
USA Today Washington Bureau chief Susan Page was on hand at the town hall-style meeting, slated to air on MSNBC this evening, tweeting live updates of Pelosi’s discussion with host Joy Reid. Asked whether Tlaib’s’s call for President Donald Trump to be impeached hurts the Democrats’ “hurts the case,†Pelosi replied: “The enthusiasm that our members have helps the case, any case….We try to build our consensus on how we go forward. It doesn’t hurt the cause when people speak the truth.â€
Touching on impeachment moments earlier, Pelosi stated that while “The outrage that people feel about impeachment is legitimate,†it would be premature to move forward with the measure.
