“Look, mama, you won. Bullies don’t win," Tlaib said. "And I said baby, they don't because we're gonna go in there and impeach the motherf---er."

Tlaib tweeted Friday morning following the video, saying "I will always speak truth to power. #unapologeticallyMe."

She followed with another: "This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about all of us. In the face of this constitutional crisis, we must rise."

Trump told reporters on Friday, "I think she dishonored herself. And I think she dishonored her family." He continued saying it was "highly disrespectful to the U.S."
