Hours after equivocally apologizing to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and saying she was not calling him a racist, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) “liked” a tweet that essentially described Meadows as an example of “white privilege and white fragility.”
Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing involving President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen featured heated words after Tlaib accused “someone” of bringing a Trump-supporting black woman along to the hearing as a “prop” – an act she said was “racist in itself.”
Meadows had invited Lynne Patton, an African-American Trump family friend now working at the Department of Housing and Development, and challenged Cohen’s depiction of Trump as a racist, saying that there was no way that Patton “would work for an individual who's a racist.”
The exchange in question began when Tlaib said, “just because someone has a person of color, a black person, working for them does not mean they aren't racist. And it is insensitive that some would even say it’s – the fact that someone would actually use a prop, a black woman, in this chamber, in this committee is alone racist in itself.”

President Trump would be called a racist if his entire cabinet was made up of people of color, so nobody with a brain or even half a brain (Democrats and the MSM) should pay any attention to people that call him a racist. He is NOT. President Trump is making America great again and we should all be thankful. GOD Bless you Mr.President.
congress is a joke. Meadows is best friends with Cummings? That was the most surprising information I learned yesterday. Now I no it's all for show and nothing will get done unless handcuffs go on James Comey.
