Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib is selling profane t-shirts with the slogan “impeach the MF” and lead protesters in a profane chant of the same phrase on Capitol Hill.
Protesters calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment who had gathered on the East Lawn of the Capitol were joined by Rep. Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley on Thursday.
Rep. Tlaib had made headlines in January when she told a group of her supporters that “we’re going to go in there, and we’re going to impeach the motherf—er,” shortly after she had been sworn into office. The freshman lawmaker is now using it as her rallying cry.

“This isn’t just about corruption,” Tlaib told the protesters. “This is about our way of life.”
Rep. Tlaib also announced that she is selling the shirts so people can “wear what you feel,” for $29.99.
Lean in with me to hold this lawless President accountable. Together, we will fight back and protect our democracy.
Our country depends on it!
…and yes you can even wear what you feel https://t.co/8C3BUfp1kf pic.twitter.com/QwBADidAHo
