Enjoy.)Freshman Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were the first to sign a controversial pledge to impeach President Donald Trump. The Congresswomen have been going rogue ever since they showed up on Capitol Hill, making headlines for their anti-American sentiments. Well, right after they signed the pledge, they both got a nasty surprise which may be the end of their political careers. Don’t miss this.
Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are on a mission to destroy President Trump and America as we know it. Those who follow politics are well aware of their radical agenda, anti-American sentiments, and support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) which calls for the destruction of Israel.
So, it was no surprise that they went against Nancy Pelosi’s orders and signed the pledge, which was organized by “By the People,” which bills itself a grassroots group that “came together because we saw that millions of Americans want the Trump Administration removed from office.”
“Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are the first members of Congress to sign on to a pledge launched by a progressive advocacy organization to impeach President Donald Trump,” ABC News producer Ben Siegel reported. But that’s not all.

Just who are the people behind this pledge? “We are committed to ending this administration and creating a country that lives up to its founding ideals,” the group’s About Us section reads. Then, we have Tlaib making national headlines for remarks she made at a reception organized by progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org hours after being sworn in as a member of Congress, in which she vowed to remove President Trump from office, stating: “We’re going to go in there and we’re going to impeach the motherf*cker,” Breitbart reported.
Addressing the Michigan Veterans Foundation days after the incident, Tlaib refused to apologize for her profanity-laden pledge to impeach, instead expressing regret that the remark became a political “distraction.”
“I understand I am a member of Congress. And I don’t want anything that I do or say to distract us. That is the only thing I apologize for, is that it was a distraction,” she said. “We have a course that we have to stick to, and nothing I say should distract us from that.”
In an interview with CNN’s New Day, then-Rep.-elect Omar said she believes President Trump gets “closer to being impeached” each passing day. “We know that this president, this administration, every day has gone a little bit closer to being impeached,” Omar told co-anchor John Berman.
The group behind this pledge are all part of radical Socialists like the Occupy Movement and Black Lives Matter. Nicole Carty, who is named on the “About Us” page, was found to be one of the radicals who helped launch Occupy and BLM. She also is part of the NetRoots Nation, which is made up of far-leftists who support Socialism and Communism.
Well, Omar and Tlaib were in for a nasty surprise. Speaking about Rashida Tlaib’s cries for impeachment, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wasn’t on board. “I do think that we want to be unified and bring people together. Impeachment is a very divisive approach to take and we shouldn’t take it … without the facts,” Pelosi said.
In fact, behind the scenes, Pelosi is plagued by Omar and Tlaib’s anti-American politics. Not only that, but the Democratic Party has been driven too far to the left by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Tlaib.
“Over 63 million American voters made Trump president two years ago. Many of these voters were independents, and some were Democrats who wisely concluded that Trump would make a better president than Hillary Clinton,” conservative pundit Andy Puzder reported. “The American people are smarter than Democrats give them credit for. They know that no matter how much the Democrats and their media allies attack President Trump and Republicans in Congress, our country has made great progress since Trump took office.”
Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party hierarchy are well aware that America is a “center-right” nation. Meaning those Independents who ultimately voted for Trump did so because the Democrats are moving too far to the left. The Democrats can’t afford to have far-left radicals like Omar and Tlaib spouting off and taking pledges of impeachment.
Those Democrats running for president will all shift back away from their far-left policies as the election comes closer. But for true believers like Omar and Tlaib, they can’t shift. They are true radicals and in the end, the Democratic Party will have to get rid of them. So let them take pledges and make ridiculous statements. Pelosi will make sure they don’t raise another dime to run for re-election.
