Mark Meadows, Rashida Tlaib hug after nasty fight over race during yesterday's Cohen hearing
1 / 2Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., questions Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer, as he testifies before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2019, in Washington.
Tlaib suggested Meadows' use of Patton as a"prop" was itself racist, but later said she was not accusing Meadows of being a racist. "She said she didn't mean it yesterday, so there was no need to apologize," Meadows said afterward on Thursday. Meadows, one of Trump's staunchest supporters in Congress, said he's never heard the president say anything racist. At one point, Patton, who now works at the Department of Housing and Urban Development stood behind him. Meadows said she would not work for anyone racist, but she'd work for Trump.
