This week on Next Left, the outspoken representative who is holding Trump accountable.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is a veteran defender of civil rights and civil liberties with big ideas about how to serve her constituents in the Detroit area, usher in a new era of economic and social and racial justice in the United States and promote peace and cooperation on the global stage. Unfortunately, since she arrived in Washington, she’s been targeted by Republican members of Congress, right-wing media and even the president; they’ve crudely and dishonestly attacked Tlaib, seeking to marginalize the first Palestinian-American Muslim women ever to serve in the U.S. House.

We talk with Rashida Tlaib about her political roots, her ideas and her determination to hold the president of the United States to account — using the impeachment powers accorded the House in the United States Constitution.
