(Hill) President Trump took aim at Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on Tuesday, deriding the congresswoman as a “lunatic” after video resurfaced of her protesting a Trump speech in 2016.
“I watched just this morning this Tlaib from Michigan,” Trump said at Turning Point USA’s Teen Student Action Summit, a gathering of young conservatives and supporters of the president.
“There is no way she stands for the values of the people of Michigan,” Trump continued. “But I watched her this morning. She’s vicious. She’s like a crazed lunatic.”
Trump was referencing a video resurfaced by conservative websites over the weekend of Tlaib protesting when the president delivered a speech at the Detroit Economic Club during the 2016 campaign. Tlaib can be seen yelling “You guys are crazy!” at those in attendance.
