Democrat ‘Squad’ Member Finally Goes Full Crazy: ‘No More Policing’

D

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, has gone all-in on “defund the police.”

The tweet: Other members of the “Squad” of left-wing Democrats have embraced the slogan while stopping short of advocating full abolition of law enforcement.

  • Because that would be insane.

But amid protests and riots in Minneapolis over the apparently accidental fatal shooting of a black motorist by a local police officer on Sunday, Tlaib would not be restrained by logic.

  • “It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist,” she tweeted on Monday.
  • Tlaib added that the criminal justice system “can’t be reformed” and must simply be “No more.”

The reaction: Conservative Twitter had thoughts.

Writer Stephen Miller couldn’t help but admire Tlaib’s prose.

Donald Trump Jr. hailed her as a progressive vanguard.

But others on the right, like blogger Kyle Becker, were just appalled.

Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, deemed Tlaib’s post “Insane” but also reflective of the state of the Democratic Party.

Comedian Tim Young was among those who called out Tlaib for making radical demands from behind heavy security, where she has claimed to still feel “unsafe.”

Don’t expect a correction: Tlaib promoted at least four “racially charged hoaxes” on Twitter in 2019 without retracting or correcting her comments, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

  • Also, that October, Tlaib told the Detroit police chief he should only hire black people to monitor surveillance footage because “non-African Americans think African Americans all looks the same.”
  • The chief, James Craig, who is black, rejected the suggestion as “racist.”
