The mood is so bad at the U.S. Capitol that.....

51. I remember that. Did Tlaib ever apologize for that smart-ass remark?

Hillary Clinton’s efforts for women everywhere were part of what you were able to take advantage of, to get your own seat in the House of Reps. Hillary had the guts to forge ahead and build the foundation that gave Kamala Harris a jumping-off point to break yet another class ceiling.

But Hillary was first up, and in 2008 was responsible for leaving “18 million cracks in it.” SHE stuck her neck out and took the insults and the snark and the put-downs and the criticism and the disrespect, and as long as she’s been a national public figure (starting in 1992, btw - how old were YOU back then?), she took all that shit and abuse and forged ahead ANYWAY, with courage, conviction, energy, perseverance, class, humor, and grace. SHE broke through all that, so women like you could build on that beginning, and forge your own path to victory in your own right. That leadership on her part made YOUR opportunities more feasible, realistic, probable - AND REACHABLE, Rep. Tlaib.

She took all that shit so maybe later arrivals like you wouldn’t have to, quite as much or as badly.

And if I ever get an appeal from you for a campaign donation, hope you don’t mind if I say “no no, I’LL boo!” And don’t expect me to forget, either, anytime soon.
