Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who is no stranger to controversy, was forced to backpedal Saturday morning after she booed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during an Iowa rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
Hours after Tlaib booed Clinton on the stage at a Sanders event in Clive, Iowa, she issued a statement about her actions.
“I am so incredibly in love with the movement that our campaign of #NotMeUs has created. This makes me protective over it and frustrated by attempts to dismiss the strength and diversity of our movement,” she said in the first of four tweets.
“However, I know what is at stake if we don’t unify over one candidate to beat Trump and I intend to do everything possible to ensure that Trump does not win in 2020,” she added.
“In this instance, I allowed my disappointment with Secretary Clinton’s latest comments about Senator Sanders and his supporters get the best of me. You all, my sisters-in-service on stage, and our movement deserve better,” Tlaib said.
She closed by saying, “I will continue to strive to come from a place of love and not react in the same way of those who are against what we are building in this country. This is about building a just and equitable future for my two boys, children across the country, and future generations.”
Clinton said in a recent documentary regarding Sanders: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”
Clinton defeated Sanders for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. Sanders is running for president this year and is at or near the top in most polls.
Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, has come under fire for comments she made about Israel, law enforcement, and other issues.

lol, walking back on her booing of Clinton. Haters didn’t like it did they, lol.
Another one our Country needs to get rid of. Couldn’t care less other than the Dems power grab to impeach the President. Hasn’t done a single thing except spew her hatred.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD HELP THE USA!
Palestinians are people from one of those shthole areas President Trump was talking about. Why do we need Palestinians?
Palestinians HATE Jews. So that’s why Kerry is so close to them and that’s why we got this Jewish hater in office. Kerry is loyal to the Muslims in Iran and Palestine. Along with Former President Obama.
That’s what the Squad is all about. Muslims, who HATE the USA have a say for their Globalist leaders to help Iran and Palestine to destroy Israel and the USA.
We need to fumigate out ALL those who HATE the USA but LOVE their Globalist agenda for the Muslims.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD HELP THE USA!

Here’s one of the USA haters along with the Jewish haters.
Can come here fraudulently by marrying your brother, and then commit campaign fraud by paying off your lover, and STILL not get in trouble.
Lovely isn’t it. And we paid MILLIONS of dollars on Russian/Ukraine hoax to try to take down an innocent man.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD HELP THE USA!
This Muslim Moron needs to be kicked out of office and investigated for Muslim terrorist inciement!
Did she really walk back her booing or did one of Hillary’s goons encourage her?
Tlaib probably got a visit from the goons. Remember, Anthony Bourdain got one, then experienced “Arkancide.”
Anthony Bourdain died of a hidden metal illness. When did he get put on the ‘list’??? He hasn’t. Just because he was critical of the Clintons (no more than whole herds of conservatives)(or FOX news commentators), he wasn’t “offed” by one of Hitlery’s goons.
I think T-Laib should go live in the West Bank, since she loves them more than US citizens. I doubt Htlery will send anyone to ‘educate her’, export her, or kill her.
Hitlery is a crook, through and through, but I just don’t believe she is still that powerful.
Hitlery was correct about Bernie S, BTW . . . . He’s just another crooked politician with an angle to hook stupid people into voting for him.
