Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib has been calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump from the day she was elected.
She said it to her supporters after her election as she called the president a “m**herf**ker” and promised her son she would impeach him.
That is a promise she has not kept as she does not have the authority on her own to do it but that continues to be her goal.

But video being shared on Twitter on Saturday showed that Rep. Tlaib was unhinged before President was elected.
The video was shared by David Harris Jr., a black supporter of the president, and it showed Rep. Tlaib being removed from a rally for the president in 2016.

The video shows Rep. Tlaib jumping around as security pushes her toward the door as she continues to shout.
“Rashid getting kicked out of a @realDonaldTrump event! And she calls us crazy! Look at her!” Harris Jr. said.

“I have heard critics calling it unbecoming of a former state legislator. Well, I believe it is unbecoming of any American to not stand up to Trump’s hate-filled rhetoric and tactics. Growing up the daughter of Palestinian immigrants in Detroit, I was taught about how Walter Reuther, Coleman Young, Rosa Parks, Viola Liuzzo and other great Detroiters risked their lives for justice,” Tlaib said.
“I still remember at the age of 12, learning that segregation had been permitted only a couple of decades before I was born and that a woman’s right to vote was not even a century old. But it was great Americans who stood up, some dying for the cause, to make our country better.
“Courteous behavior can’t be reserved for someone who labels hardworking Mexican immigrants who have come to pursue the American Dream as ‘rapists.’”

“Social niceties are not in order for men who would turn away refugees fleeing for their lives based on their faith to have them suffer in camps.
“And complacency is not warranted for a presidential candidate who denigrates a mother and father who have lost their child in the ultimate sacrifice of military service.
“I can’t describe the fear that gripped me when I rose in front of nearly 2,000 professionals at this tony, corporate setting. I watched as Trump supporters taunted the women who stood before me as they were aggressively and briskly led to the exits.
“I froze, feeling the anger around me that would make anyone tremble. Yet, I could only think of the unwavering love for my two sons to find the courage to do my own part.

“I told Trump that ‘our children deserve better’ and I asked him to provide a better example to our kids. I implored him to read the U.S. Constitution. And then I was grabbed by several security personnel who physically moved me to the exit while I continued to express my concerns,” she said.
