Rashida Tlaib: Congresswoman’s Trump profanity sparks furore
US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi Speaker has shrugged off a new lawmaker’s use of a profane epithet to assail President Donald Trump.

Democrat Rashida Tlaib courted controversy when she used explicit language while calling for the president’s impeachment.
Ms Pelosi on Thursday said while she would not use such language, it was no worse than things Mr Trump has said.
The controversy comes amid renewed talk of impeachment among lawmakers.
The Republican president called her comments “highly disrespectful” to the US in a news conference on Friday.

Expletive-filled rants about our president tell you all you need to know about the priorities of the Democrats in Congress.
President Trump fights every day for a better life for Americans.
Democrats are only committed to fighting President Trump.
