Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. entered the House of Representatives with an expletive explosion.
Right after the 2018 midterm elections, she made her plans crystal clear as to just how she felt about President Donald Trump: “We’re gonna impeach the m***********!” she told cheering supporters.
Ever since, she’s somewhat flown under the radar compared to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
But rare footage from 2016 surfaced over the weekend — striking proof that Tlaib is back to her mentally unstable ways.
President Donald Trump was a candidate on the campaign trial in the congresswoman’s hometown of Detroit in 2016 when Tlaib — not yet a congresswoman — had a screaming public meltdown and had to be dragged away by secret service.
“You guys are crazy!” she shouted as she was being carried away.
It seems that Trump Derangement Syndrome was developed even further back in time than we previously thought.
Later, Tlaib wrote about the incident, claiming it was about patriotism.
“I felt more and more that confronting Trump was the most patriotic and courageous act I could pursue,” she wrote in The Detroit Free Press. She went on to write that Trump and his political allies were not deserving of “courteous behavior” or “niceties.”
Though Tlaib wasn’t a U.S. congresswoman, she was a lawmaker at the state level for Michigan.
And as a result of the stunt her critics panned her “unbecoming” behavior.

As well as Trump’s response, which CNN televised at the time:
