Trump was asked by the press at a briefing today to respond directly to the comments by the new Democrat Muslim congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, who says “we are going to impeach that motherf***er”.
Here’s what he said:
President Trump on Rep. Rashida Tlaib's call to 'impeach that motherf*****': "I thought her comments were disgraceful…I think she dishonored herself, and I think she dishonored her family." pic.twitter.com/HxzZr2cF1i

Here’s the transcript:
I thought her comments were disgraceful. This is a person that I don’t know…I assume she’s new?
I think she dishonored herself and I think she dishonored her family. Using language like that in front of her son and whoever else was there – I thought that was a great dishonor to her and her family. I thought it was highly disrespectful to the United States of America.
Trump is exactly right here and I’m glad he put it this way. I’m sure many will be offended that he said she dishonored her family, but it’s absolutely true. The fact that she said that in front of her son does not reflect well on her parenting at all.
