Why must you do that when know perfectly well that's not what he said or meant?

If I were to vote in a presidential

Thank you Rashida Tlaib for showing us how we will defeat Donald Trump. [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

. George II Feb 2020 #1

LOL! The Hoarse Whisperer nailed it! Thanks, George! highplainsdem Feb 2020 #2

Random people on twitter still attacking Tlaib are not helping us unite to defeat Trump. DanTex Feb 2020 #3

Booing the Party's incumbent standard bearer (Hillary Clinton) and then issuing a half-hearted.... George II Feb 2020 #5

It was a heartfelt apology, very decent. Continue to attack her doesn't help anyone. DanTex Feb 2020 #8

It wasn't an apology at all... comradebillyboy Feb 2020 #26

Please show me where the apology is in her statement mcar Feb 2020 #32

You just don't get it do you? dware Feb 2020 #57

+1000 ehrnst Feb 2020 #65

"High road?" Tlaib attacks the party standardbearer is what is not helpful to party unity. ehrnst Feb 2020 #64

Thank you, George II! eom BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #45

Can you point me to any words from her that constitute an apology? scheming daemons Feb 2020 #4

It was a series of tweets. DanTex Feb 2020 #6

Yeah, I saw the series of tweets scheming daemons Feb 2020 #39

Agreed. That was not an apology Fresh_Start Feb 2020 #55

DanTex WA-03 Democrat Feb 2020 #7

He's an Independent now and says he will run as an Independent in 2022. He's not a Democrat. dem4decades Feb 2020 #17

Actions like this are what turn people off from the Democrats lynintenn Feb 2020 #9

Yes, Hillary's attacks on Bernie may turn some people off. DanTex Feb 2020 #12

since when are divisive people unifying? dem4decades Feb 2020 #19

May be unifying to "the movement," but not to the party, not to Americans across the political emmaverybo Feb 2020 #28

She was wrong and it was a nice apology. Rashida Tlaib is a very classy woman. Autumn Feb 2020 #10

Please show us where in her statement is an apology? nt dware Feb 2020 #58

If it has to be explained to you I guess you won't consider it an apology. That's fine with me. nt Autumn Feb 2020 #60

So, in other words. dware Feb 2020 #62

It's not my job to show where her apology is. You accept it or not. I will have a great Sunday. Autumn Feb 2020 #66

As I said, yoiu can't show an apology dware Feb 2020 #67

It's like saying... ehrnst Feb 2020 #63

+1000. dware Feb 2020 #68

I strongly disagree Gothmog Feb 2020 #11

Another rando on twitter attacking a Democrat. Those people aren't helpful to defeating Trump. DanTex Feb 2020 #14

Right, Bernie should set an example to his surrogates and quit attacking Democrats. R B Garr Feb 2020 #56

It's even better when you don't do things that make your lame apology necessary The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #13

True, but people make mistakes. It's big to own up to them publicly. DanTex Feb 2020 #15

I don't think she attacked Bernie calguy Feb 2020 #18

"Nobody likes him" is an attack, anyone can tell that. DanTex Feb 2020 #30

I think it's a fact calguy Feb 2020 #46

Here is a definition of Tlaib's non-apology apology: madaboutharry Feb 2020 #16

I think its best if we put this behind us instead of trying to re-parse her apology to find DanTex Feb 2020 #21

You're the one that keeps starting threads about this. dware Feb 2020 #59

Good luck getting support from real Democrats Gothmog Feb 2020 #20

Tlaib is a real Democrat. DanTex Feb 2020 #22

In all fairness, that was a very weak apology. redqueen Feb 2020 #23

Arguable. Certainly it's a stronger apology than the one Hillary gave for her grade-school insult. DanTex Feb 2020 #25

You've just highlighted the real problem Democrats face. Beartracks Feb 2020 #51

I couldn't disagree more melman Feb 2020 #24

I wouldn't say she gave into bullying. She apologized without saying that DanTex Feb 2020 #29

I understand why she did it but I think it's a bad move melman Feb 2020 #33

Fair enough. I agree that she was bullied. And is still bullied. DanTex Feb 2020 #35

I don't know melman Feb 2020 #37

I've seen re-posts here from people who happily voted for Stein mcar Feb 2020 #38

She posted his actual statement. As did I mcar Feb 2020 #43

I have no problem with it melman Feb 2020 #44

Keep doing what you're doing? mcar Feb 2020 #52

There's that absurd mischaracterization I was talking about melman Feb 2020 #54

I am very disappointed in this sanders supporter Gothmog Feb 2020 #36

This thread is laughable. Hopefully she loses her primary. tritsofme Feb 2020 #40

Just no. That's not how politics works. yardwork Feb 2020 #42

I didn't really see an apology. MineralMan Feb 2020 #47

An apology from Tlaib would be a great thing Codeine Feb 2020 #53

It was a non-apology. ehrnst Feb 2020 #61

The attack on Clinton were totally inappropriate and disgusting Gothmog Feb 2020 #69

This makes me smile Gothmog Feb 2020 #70

I dig how you justify in Tlaib that same you indict in other. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #71

Tlaib is just smart enough to know that she can't Blue_Tires Feb 2020 #72
