Trump is 'behind the scenes trying to change asylum laws,' Tlaib said.
Representative Rashida Tlaib, in an interview on Tuesday, accused President Donald Trump of using his racist attacks against her and three other progressive Democrats as a tactic to distract the public from changes to asylum laws. On the same day, the president called the congresswoman a"crazed lunatic" after video resurfaced of her protesting one of his 2016 campaign speeches.
Tlaib's comments came as Trump, also on Tuesday, called her a"crazed lunatic" after a video surfaced of the congresswoman protesting one of his speeches during the 2016 presidential campaign. "I watched just this morning this Tlaib from Michigan," Trump told young conservatives during his address at a Turning Point USA conference in Washington, D.C. earlier today."There is no way she stands for the values of the people of Michigan."
Trump escalated his ongoing feud with Tlaib and the three other progressive congresswomen, all freshman lawmakers and all women of color, last weekend when he urged them to"go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came," in a series of tweets.
