Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a stand for fellow House freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Saturday after the latter’s expletive-laced comments in favor of impeaching President Trump. Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic socialist lawmaker from New York, went on Twitter to weigh in, accusing the GOP of a having a double standard. On Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a vow to support Tlaib, D-Mich.“I got your back @RashidaTlaib - the Bronx and Detroit ride together,” she tweeted. “People love you and you win,” the video showed Tlaib telling supporters. Yet Pelosi, D-Calif., downplayed Tlaib’s remarks, expressing distaste for the language but suggesting that Trump’s own language had started the heated rhetoric in Washington.
