Rashida Tlaib Backed In A Corner!

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) could face defeat in her primary.

Could see a big upset in the Michigan 13th Congressional District!

One of the first Muslim women to serve in Congress could be defeated.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is the most vulnerable of the Squad. The Palestinian-American lawmaker from Detroit, Michigan is facing off against Brenda Jones, the Detroit city council member who served only 24 days as a U.S. Representative. This primary only involves two women.

Tlaib, a backer of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for president has pissed off the Democrats to a point where they're no longer involved in helping her fend off the challenger.

I had backed Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at first.

They were progressives who had a strong voice in the Democratic Party and helped encourage people of color to run for higher office. I was proud to see two women of color who are Muslim elected to office.

Now, I am sick and tired of them. With the exception of Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), the Squad are no longer valued among the Democratic establishment and mainstream progressive base.

Former Democratic representative Brenda Jones wants to run for a full term.

Tlaib, Omar and Ocasio-Cortez have been more of the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) types.

All talk and no action.

Just flat out bullshit.

Lack of accomplishments. Always on television.

Always causing chaos where there's no need for it.

And like the Republican lawmakers mentioned, these Democratic lawmakers are insufferable.

I've talked about it this year. I said that the Bernie Bros and Broettes cost Sanders his second chance at being the Democratic nominee. Tlaib brought on a challenger when she openly supported protesters booing the 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The Democrats found that distasteful.

Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Tlaib took the side of that swindler Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe over Biden's staff and the journalists who spent time trying to get to the bottom of the allegations of sexual abuse hurled at the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Tlaib has already made it clear that she's going to possibly lose to Jones. She had refused to endorse Joe Biden for president and has said her only focus is to win the primary which will be held on Tuesday.

When Tlaib won the seat, she was one of five members trying to replace John Conyers, the disgraced lawmaker and civil rights activist who was forced out after allegations of sexual abuse. Tlaib and Jones were on the special ballot to replace him and then they held a primary to see who would be the nominee and then a general election for the person to fulfill the term.

Jones won the special election by a mere .5 points.

But Tlaib won the the primary by 1 point. She would win the seat easily.

Jones fill the seat for 24 days to at least vote on three measures. After she served her term, Tlaib then took the seat.

Since taking the seat, Tlaib has focused on Detroit but has strayed from issues in the city. She was concerned about the rights of Palestinians and the controversial U.S.-Israeli relationship. I supported her on that issue. She focused on immigrant rights and the Muslim ban. I supported her on that.

No longer a friendly contest. The two are fighting to represent the 13th Congressional District in Michigan.

But for her constituents, no one cared about these issues. They only cared about her delivering to Detroit, a city that has face economic turmoil.

Tlaib represents a district that has over 80% African American constituents.

Democrats who are supportive of Biden are hoping to defeat Tlaib and Omar. The two women are facing tougher primary challengers. Ocasio-Cortez managed to fend off a tough challenger in the New York primaries.

The Michigan Democratic Party's Black Caucus has endorsed Jones over Tlaib which came as a blow to the lawmaker who was desperately courting their backing.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who the Squad criticized earlier has backed Tlaib for the primary. The House Speaker had talked to the Squad about being too polarizing and warned them that constituents are not looking for showboats. However, the advice is not taken.

AOC has already landed herself in a controversy. It wasn't of her making, though. Outgoing Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) had called her a "fucking [dirty] bitch" when he got upset over remarks made by her.

Omar who is facing a challenge from a well-funded Antone Melton-Meaux. Her primary will be held on August 11th.
