Rashida Tlaib: ‘It Would Feel Good to Have a President that You Didn’t Have to Check’ All the Time

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) stumped for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at a rally in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday, encouraging supporters to mobilize their friends and family and declaring that it would “feel good to have a president that you didn’t have to check” all the time.

Tlaib stumped for the presidential hopeful on Friday in her home state ahead of its upcoming March 10 primary.

“This is a once in a lifetime moment in our country to elect someone who won’t sell us out,” she said to cheers.


“It would feel good to have a president that you didn’t have to check him all the time,” she continued, instructing the energized crowd to mobilize their friends and family members:

“It’s for all of the people now living in poverty. It’s for my neighbors right here in Detroit that get their water shut off, their kids taken away the following day. Show up for her,” she continued.
