From the Daily Caller: Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib got into an intense shouting match with Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds during a Thursday hearing after appearing to call the GOP fascists.
Democrats’ rhetoric about Republicans has come under scrutiny since Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination on Sept. 10. During a House Oversight Committee hearing on crime in Washington, D.C., Tlaib used the term “fascist” and said that Republicans should not be offended by it, leading Donalds to snap back.
“We can’t be passive right now. So nobody over there should take anything we say so personally as if we’re attacking them. No, we’re attacking a process. We’re not attacking people here. And I think it’s really important we need to stand up against this fascist takeover,” Tlaib said. “That’s not a bad word. It’s a fact. And here in D.C., and across the country, it is so incredibly important, Mr. Chair, that this committee does not allow rhetoric that defames or paints Washington D.C., in a way that you all haven’t really truly seen.”
Donalds asked Tlaib to yield for him to ask a question but she refused and continued ranting.
Donalds wasn’t having it, and declared, “Chairman, I think it’s insane that the gentlelady doesn’t have an argument, but she’s going to refer to me and some of my colleagues like we were from the Third Reich. This is insane. It’s insane. It’s insane. It’s insane. Do I look like a member of the Third Reich to you, Ms. Tlaib?”
It escalated even louder from there.
