Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib offered something vaguely resembling an apology for leading the crowd at a Bernie Sanders rally in vociferously booing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

-snip-

In a series of tweets Saturday morning, Rep. Tlaib essentially expressed regret that her actions had made the Sanders movement look bad, but did not apologize to Secretary Clinton.

The episode caught the attention of many social media users, including supporters of President Donald Trump who appeared amused at the show of disunity.

As of this writing, Reps. Omar and Jayapal have not tweeted about the incident, during which both laughed uproariously.

1. Jayapal just tweeted her half-apology (sans "apology") and is getting roasted on twitter for it:

2. LOL! That's nothing but praise for herself and Tlaib. She should be roasted foe it.

4. Sure looks like a lot are none too happy about that non-apology

7. ...

3. Disgusting.

[lapucelle]

5. ;;;

11. +1000

6. The phrase "sister-in-struggle" is a subtle solicitation for sympathy

from those reading the tweet. That seems like playing the victim rather than a sincere apology.

8. That's ok, I hope Brenda Jones primaries her this summer.

9. Where can I donate?

[redstateblues]

13. I will donate as well

[Blue_true]

16. Do you have more info on Brenda Jones? Thanks nt.

[PatSeg]

10. Its not the first time

her mouth has gotten her in trouble. As a member of congress, she should exercise more control over what she says in public. It reflects on congress and on the Democratic party.

I wonder who she voted for in 2016.

[cwydro]

12. Ugh.

I guess she thinks that’s cute.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

14. If we are going to throw shade for being divisive,

Hillary could use some. She needs to stop acting like this is 2016. She's not running and is just tossing out crap at Sanders. If it was the other way around (Sanders not running and throwing jabs at a Clinton that is), I know exactly how people on here would react. And when a Clinton surrogate booed the mention of Sanders at a rally in that scenario, cheers would erupt here.

But, apparently, don't let the hypocrisy bother you.

And, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not a real Democrat, blah blah blah.

15. Not even "quasi".. It was MORE DISS.

try harder Rashida

[Gothmog]

17. That was NOT an apology

This sanders supporter needs to be primaried

[question everything]

18. Perhaps now she can apologize for her vulgarity shortly after her election

Yes, we shared her sentiment but using the same vulgar language in public. Only a Republican president can do it

[Blue_Tires]

19. ugh...
