Tlaib vows to do 'better' after booing Clinton at Sanders event

[RandySF]

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on Saturday vowed to do “better” and urged Democrats to unite around whoever wins the party’s 2020 nomination after she was seen booing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a campaign event for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

“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,” Tlaib said in a statement, referring to Sanders’s campaign.

“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 continued. “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," she added.

The statement from Tlaib, a staunch progressive and prominent campaign surrogate for the Vermont senator, is the latest development in the recently revived feud between Clinton and Sanders.

1. Nope.

2. And she blamed Clinton for it.

And people wonder why some of us laugh when some Sanders supporters complain about the lack of unity in the party and on DU.

4. Like my abusive ex would say "I'm sorry you made me hit you".

12. Bingo

I'm tired of all this crap. Bernie needs to get tough with the rabid among his supporters. He never has in the past.

8. This!!

10. Yep, blaming her own actions on Clinton for 'disappointing" her.

And only after it was recieved so poorly.

6. Well, it OUGHT to be. Apparently many think it was an exemplary example...

Well, it OUGHT to be. Apparently many think it was an exemplary example of what a sincere apology sounds like.

5. ...

7. Too err is human , to forgive divine

[ehrnst]

11. Well, when Tlaib "forgives" HRC, instead of blaming her for her own words and actions

that will be divine.

9. "In this instance, I allowed my disappointment with Secretary Clinton's latest comments

about Senator Sanders and his supporters get the best of me.”

That's not an apology. That's regret after the public pushback.

That's Tlaib blaming HRC for Tlaib's own actions.

13. So, in essence,

she's saying it's Hillary Clinton's fault that she acted the way she did and not her fault?

Wow!!! Just wow.

14. What is she going to do better?
