Rep Rashida Tlaib apologized for booing Hillary Clinton at an event in Iowa on Friday night. Tlaib, a key surrogate for Bernie Sanders, explained that her disappointment at Clinton got the best of her.
In an event in Iowa, moderator Dionna Langford began to touch on the escalating feud between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, Time reported.” Last week when someone by the name of Hillary Clinton said that nobody…” Langford started to allude to Clinton’s comments on a documentary about how nobody likes Sanders when someone started to boo from the crowd.
“We’re not gonna boo, we’re not gonna boo, we’re classy here,” Langford said. However, Tlaib said she’ll boo.
“No, no, I’ll boo,” the U.S. Rep Tlaib said as the crowd cheered her on. “You all know I can’t be quiet. No. We’re gonna boo. That’s alright the haters will shut up on Monday when we win.”
Understandably, Tlaib’s action drew a mix reaction online. According to BBC, Center for American Progress president Neera Tanden said it reminded her of the “Lock Her Up” chants from Trump’s supporters in 2016. Others, such as Annie Shields, felt that the booing was justified as Clinton “should stop publicly criticizing one of the Dem front runners in the interest of party unity.”
Tlaib has already apologized for her action on Twitter. “I know what is at stake if we don't unify over one candidate to beat [President Donald] Trump and I intend to do everything possible to ensure that Trump does not win in 2020,” the US Rep posted on the media platform.
“In this instance, I allowed my disappointment with Secretary Clinton's latest comments about Senator Sanders and his supporters get the best of me,” Tlaib added. “You all, my sisters-in-service on stage, and our movement deserve better.”
Footage of Hillary Clinton criticizing Bernie Sanders was shown in a Hulu documentary. “Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done,” Clinton said.
However, Clinton explained that the comments were made more than a year ago and had nothing to do with the election. “I think we did that interview about a year and a half ago,” she explained. I wasn't thinking about the election by any means. I've said I'm going to support the nominee.”
