The Hill is now reporting on Tlaib booing Clinton at a Sanders event

[highplainsdem]

There are a couple of other threads about this already, but just linking to tweets.

It's now being picked up by the news media.

Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) booed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a live campaign event for presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Iowa on Friday.

The moment happened toward the end of a panel discussion with Tlaib and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) at Sanders's first "Caucus Concert," which featured a performance by Bon Iver in Clive, Iowa, ahead of Monday's caucus.

All three lawmakers have endorsed Sanders in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary and have spent time campaigning for him. During Friday night's event, the lawmakers mostly spent the time on stage discussing a number of progressive issues, including climate change.

At the end of their discussion, activist Dionna Langford, who was serving as moderator, mentioned Clinton recently saying "nobody likes [Sanders]," eliciting boos from the audience.

Langford sought to quell the booing, saying: "We're not gonna boo, we're not gonna boo. We're classy here."

That was when Tlaib jumped in, laughingly saying: "I'll boo. Boo."

"You all know I can't be quiet," Tlaib added. "The haters will shut up on Monday when we win."

Obviously, despite what Langford said, some of the people there were anything but classy.

1. The "haters" are not going to shut up.

And it's disgusting for her to call people who supported Hillary and don't support Bernie haters. I'm really getting tired of Bernie and his followers.

7. Hate will rot you from inside..

So I have learned in my golden years to try my best to not hate anyone.
But I do have intense dislike for the warmonger neocons.
They seldom volunteer for combat but have little problem sending kids of other people to fight foreign wars.
Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, Paul Bremer, Norman Podhoretz, John Bolton, Bill Kristol are on that list.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. I don't think those are the "haters" she's talking about.

She's calling the people who oppose Bernie "haters."

[at140]

9. Yes, I know that, but I needed to vent on "hate"

Opposing Bernie or any other politician is not hate, it is simply political disagreement.
That is NOT enough to hate anybody.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Exactly.

Although Bernie's supporters are starting to peg my dislike-o-meter.

[showblue22]

22. Are you saying anyone who opposes Bernie is a neocon?

[at140]

38. Not at all

Separate issues altogether.

[Cha]

23. Yes, it's so twitterverse.

2. I have previously thought that there is something

wrong with Tlabi. Now I am certain.

[comradebillyboy]

41. She can't keep her foot out of her mouth.

[MontanaMama]

3. It's curious to me that any observation

of BS that is slightly critical of a statement or policy of his is automatically construed as hateful. I don’t want Sanders as our nominee...for a ton of reasons. Doesn’t mean I hate him. Big difference.

[writes3000]

4. So. Gross.

And pathetic.

[evertonfc]

5. Tlaib

to be fair, couldn't win an election in 75% of America. Let em boo

[Blue_true]

14. No. More like she couldn't win an election in 95% of America.

I really hope that she, AOC and Omar get really strong democrats challenging them in their primary. AOC has one of Elizabeth Crowley enters her primary, hopefully Tlaib and Omar get a strong democrat also.

[trueblue2007]

19. I AGREE WITH YOU. I really hope that she, AOC and Omar get really strong democrats challenging them

[OnDoutside]

28. Is she related to Joe Crowley ?

[Blue_true]

39. They are cousins. Elizabeth is a former city councilwoman who represented part of the NY14.

She is running for borough president, but is considering getting into the House primary instead. From what I have been able to gather on her, she has been strong on constituent services, an area that AOC is said to have not put much of an effort into.

[OnDoutside]

40. Thanks for the information.

[George II]

6. That was so disgusting. Basically she dismissed Hillary Clinton as being almost equivalent....

....to what she said about trump.

Surprised she didn't refer to Hillary Clinton, who has done a million times what Tlaib had done in her life, as a "motherfucker"!

There is no excuse for this. But will Sanders condemn it? Probably not.

[still_one]

11. +++

[still_one]

10. Same as booing all Hillary supporters, Lets see how well that works out for her candidate

This is a perfect example why Sanders should not have run. He is a divisive candidate, who will have a difficult time uniting the Democratic party

[Cha]

24. Yep.. the sqaud booed all of Hillary's supporters

who think this display is disgusting.

35. Exactly this! eom

[Blue_true]

13. Honestly, I hope this makes the late breakers break hard against Bernie.

He is doing NOTHING AT ALL to control the corrosiveness of his supporters.

[babylonsister]

15. Who really cares? Absolutely fealty to Clinton is required?

She's allowed to think what she wants and express herself without being ostracized for her views.

[Cha]

17. NOBODY anywhere said "absolute fealty tp Clinton is Required"

Except you.

Hillary Spoke the TRUTH..

“All the way up until the end, a lot of people highly identified with his campaign were urging people to vote third party, urging people not to vote,” Mrs. Clinton said in an interview with Emily Tisch Sussman for her podcast “Your Primary Playlist.” “It had an impact.”

[DanTex]

20. That wasn't what upset people. It was the "nobody likes him."

And yeah, if you say "nobody likes him" to a leading candidate, then that's going to upset supporters of the candidate.

Still shouldn't have booed. But it's understandable they were upset.

[Cha]

25. It's "understandable" that Hillary is upset.

The "booers" and calling those "haters" who support Hillary was a big mistake.

[Bananaluver]

30. Didn't Sanders himself put out a video that he was not well liked? Why after HRC?

[MrsCoffee]

32. Voters.

[treestar]

33. False choice

Hillary won the last primary and is still popular with the majority of Democrats, so booing her shows you are not with the majority of Democrats.

[tritsofme]

16. Pathetic. She should be ashamed of herself.

[Beringia]

18. Hillary started it, Tlaib is only defending Bernie

[Cha]

26. BS started it.. This is in the General Election..

“All the way up until the end, a lot of people highly identified with his campaign were urging people to vote third party, urging people not to vote,” Mrs. Clinton said in an interview with Emily Tisch Sussman for her podcast “Your Primary Playlist.” “It had an impact.”

[BlueMTexpat]

36. Sheesh!

And Bernie is perfectly capable of defending himself.

He certainly does NOT discourage his surrogates from actions like this.

[Beringia]

42. Do you call friends, coworkers, relatives who put in a good word for you

surrogates? The people who stand up for you when the wolves are after you?

[BlueMTexpat]

44. Tlaib wasn't so much putting in a good word

for Bernie as she was leading boos against Hillary ... who is NOT even in the contest.

IMO, BS deserves every "wolf" who is after him. He is only and ever a Democrat of convenience. Remember that please!

[Bananaluver]

27. This elected person has continually showed her inability to hold this position in a responsible

manner.

[sprinkleeninow]

29. There ya go--'The Hill'......🤭

[Gothmog]

31. This was a bad move by the sanders campaign

34. "The Haters will shut up on Monday when we win"

What the actual fuck? What if they lose? What if they come in second?

[MaryMagdaline]

37. Now she can go in Fox with Tulsi

[Gothmog]

43. Good luck on getting support from Clinton supporters
