Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) accused Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) of a “racist act” in presenting Housing and Urban Development official Lynn Patton, a black woman, as a refutation of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s claim that President Trump is “racist.”
“Just to make a note, Mr. Chairman, just because someone has a person of color, a black people working for them, does not mean they aren’t racist,” Tlaib said in her closing remarks after question Cohen. “And it is even insensitive, some would even say the fact that someone would even use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee, is alone racist in itself.”
The Michigan Democrat repeated her statement when asked by Cummings if she wished to rephrase her remarks.

she should be censured
And just because she has a job in Congress doesn't mean that she isn't racist, antisemitic and practicing sedition.
What if a black congressperson has a white person working for them? Or is this not a parallel issue?
Always seems to be the first word out of a racists mouth.
