Watch Democratic Socialist Rashida Tlaib Forcibly Removed During Trump’s Speech To Business Leaders
A video clip of Rep. Rashida Tlaib from August 8, 2016, has resurfaced and is making its rounds on social media. The video shows Tlaib being escorted from Donald Trump’s speech to business leaders at the Detroit Economic Club while screaming, “You guys are crazy!”
Trump’s speech that evening revealed his plans to decrease and simplify taxes, eliminate the death tax, repeal Obamacare, and increase military spending.
Tlaib defended her disruptive and unprofessional behavior, calling it “patriotic and courageous,” even though this was not a campaign rally but a meeting of business leaders. Talib’s removal from the venue was followed by applause from the audience.
Twelve other female protesters were also removed for yelling during the business meeting. Detroit Economic Club’s president and CEO Beth Chappell apologized for their inappropriate behavior and banned Tlaib and others from future Detroit Economic Club events.
Guess who this is??

This is newly elected Michigan Congress woman Rashida Tliab being thrown out of a Trump rally in 2016 for causing a disturbance. The Trojan Horse has arrived. Better wake up America.@grammy620 @ericbolling @Lrihendry @BarbMuenchen @Jarjarbug @AmyMek pic.twitter.com/oDVoVS3t2B
The crowd of 1,500 gave Trump a standing ovation after his hour-long speech.
