DEM Sen. Joe Manchin steps up, apologizes to ‘ALL Americans’ for Rashida Tlaib’s ‘motherf**ker’ remark to POTUS Trump
Freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan created a firestorm of criticism on Friday after a video that went viral surfaced of her referring to POTUS Donald Trump as a “motherf**ker” she and her party will seek to impeach.
Republicans have hammered Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, for the comment, which was made at a private party for incoming Democrats sponsored by uber-Left-wing group Moveon.org.
But she has remained defiant in the face of the firestorm, claiming she will always “speak truth to power” in refusing to apologize. Her refusal has been supported by Leftists everywhere, including newly-elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
One Democrat, however, has stepped up and pushed back against Tlaib and her comments in offering an apology to the entire country for what she said — Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
“I am so sorry. I want to apologize to all Americans, any sitting Congress person, there’s 535 of us there, 100 senators, and 435 Congress people. We should have better manners than that, I assure you,” Manchin said, calling Tlaib’s comment “deplorable.”
Just hours after she was sworn in, Tlaib told the Moveon.org crowd, “We’re gonna go in and impeach the motherf-ker.”
Manchin, in an appearance on Fox News, said it is too early to be talking about impeachment, noting that special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is ongoing and that he’s not yet issued a report.
Not only that, but there has been plenty of evidence, via reporting, to indicate the entire “Russian collusion” narrative against the president was manufactured by the Obama administration as a way of undermining President Trump and his administration.
As for Tlaib’s comments, Manchin added, “No one should approve of that.”

Manchin should have added- She is an embarrassment to the Party and any Democrat who doesn’t publicly condemn her is also an embarrassment to the Party
I may not agree with Senator Manchin on many issues but there is no denying he is a man with integrity.
A Muslim should NEVER be elected to public office in this country. Muslims are bound by Islam to follow Sharia law. Islam and Sharia law are not compatible with our Constitution, our freedoms and our way of life. We cannot assimilate people who are hostile to our government, our laws, our way of life, demanding and intent on conquering. Islam should be banned in this country for that very reason.
@minefinder — hard to further embarrass a party that is the walking embodiment of self-embarrassment. She’s just pandering to their lo-fo “base.”
Never thought anyone could be dumber than Franken.
AOC and Tabil (no sic) must think they’ve pledged at some super-cool sorority. Time for some more white male bashing, girls.
For a 42 year old women, to say what she did publicly, shows an innate political conviction of hatred, violence and a lack of Christian morality. Sharia law will inculcate much more of the same. We need to get rid of the Dearborn Derelicts like her and those who support her remarks.
Just to be clear, Rashida Tlaib is the “palestinian” from Michigan. In Minnesota, we sadly have a bag-headed somali (thanks Bush/Clinton, for nothing) replacing the muzlim-convert Ellison.
It must have entered the minds of that 50+% of Americans that these comments by elected and unelected perpetrators are merely not significant. Glad Mrs. CongressSchmuck is defiant. Would not have it any other way. This is how to become insignificant rather quickly.
It’s very sad and disheartening to have this kind behavior invading our government. How can it be, our great country is devolving into this profane and sacrilegious demeanor.
Are we SURE this isn’t just a plot to get us all to agree women should NOT be allowed out in public without a male relative to control them?!?
leftists are pure trash, they are the true real deplorables.
SHE should be forced to apologize!
He represents family values WV. Why is he still a Dim? Comped and can’t get out? Must be a story there. He needs to realize the ‘Solid South’ shifted a while ago. They dumped Byrd-style politics.
I’d say Franken has some ‘real competition’………………
Good for him. There is light at the end of the congressional, dysfunctional, tunnel. Not much, but there is some.
Democrats are a parody of Leftist buffoonery.
Rashida Tlaib actually did the entire Congress and the American voters a tremendous favor by illustrating (1) what Muslims will do if we don’t get them out of the country, and (2) why we MUST support Israel against the Pali rabble. Yes, Rashida demonstrated the true Palistinian nature and lack of refinement. Even the Marxist Democrats are ashamed if her. … Thanks Rashida for revealing your stupidity to everyone. It will help keep Trump in office until 2024.

This former unknown is now a goddess celeb of the radical left nationwide for saying one vulgarity.
I have to congratulate her, that worked out. She knows her audience.
Apology not accepted.
People like this just ensure Trump’s re-election.
It was the responsibility of the cowardly, despicable Nancy Pelosi and ChuckUSchumer to make this apology
Decent move but he should follow Gov. Justice and switch parties.
The perfect time for Manchin to switch parties. He has absolutely nothing in common with the Democrat Party of 2019.
Sorry, “deplorable” is considered by many to be a badge of honor.
The proper word to use is “despicable”.
since her comment brings discredit on the House, the Ethics Committee should open an investiation. They won’t of course, because the Dems are in charge, but they should.
We should not be surprised that when we allow third world fly infested tent living America and Christian hating camel jockey’s into our nation that they would behave like the filthy vulgar uncivilized morons that destroy everything they touch.
Sorry Joe but you don’t count for an apology. It either comes from the person who said it or the democrap party must denounce the statement she made. Nothing else works.
I don’t want his or anyone else’s apology. Nothing is going to get her out of there and sent back to her shithole make-believe “country.”
USE HER SLANG TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE SAND NIGGERS,JEW PIGS BASTARDS AND WHITE NIGGERS !!!
ignore the “KILL WHITE PEOPLE”signs at YOUR OWN JEOPARDY!!!
Joe it is not your place to step up and apologize for that slut.!!!!!
It doesent matter anymore, its just the death rattle of the country that let the government
sell it out to israel .A government that does not respect you no longe values you or your life.
Y’all made a very bad investement by betting the country on the government and you lost.
If you could not run it your self, why did your trust it will a slum lord ? Stupid is why.
Too late you will never get another country, by why should you ? you did not
appreciate this lost one. Thanks for nothing.
Why doesn’t Rashida Tlaib apologize on national TV?
