Rashida Tlaib Forced To Apologize For Clinton Comments As Sanders Campaign Urges ‘Restraint’

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was forced to apologize Saturday after encouraging the crowd at a Bernie Sanders rally in Iowa to boo the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.

Tlaib appeared alongside fellow progressive “squad” member, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) at a Sanders event in Clive, Iowa, on Friday, and instigated a chorus of loud “boos” when the former Secretary of State’s name was mentioned. The event’s moderator, Dionna Langford, tried to control the crowd, encouraging them to be “classy,” but it was too late — the exchange was widely reported and caught on camera.
