Going Hogg Wild: Rashida Tlaib Endorses Democrat Running Against Her Democrat Colleague in Michigan

So here we are.

Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib from Michigan has recently supported a fellow Democrat’s bid for Congress, endorsing State Rep. Donavan McKinney in Michigan’s 13th District. Tlaib, who represents an adjacent district in Congress, criticized incumbent Rep. Shri Thanedar, emphasizing the importance of community-focused leadership and responsive representation for constituents.

Tlaib expressed her belief that McKinney would provide the type of leadership that is currently lacking in the 13th District, highlighting his track record in addressing community needs and standing up to corporate interests. She stated that Michigan residents deserve better representation and pledged her support for McKinney based on his commitment to serving the community.

You would think that Shri would be a hero, but instead, he gets the backhand from his congressional neighbor. 

Tlaib just blew by this warning from the DNC chair, as we covered here a couple of weeks back:

The endorsement has sparked divisions within the Democratic Party, with notable strategist James Carville condemning Tlaib and accusing her of further fragmenting the party. Carville even went as far as suggesting legal action against the individuals involved in the endorsement, including Tlaib and McKinney.

But now it seems the Chair of the DNC is stepping in and laying down an ultimatum to Hogg: Cut it out, or get out. 

But the DNC chair added that while he understands what Hogg is trying to do, “I’ve said to him, if you want to challenge incumbents, you’re more than free to do that, but just not as an officer of the DNC, because our job is to be neutral arbiters. We can’t be both the referee and also the player at the same time.”

“It’s important for us to maintain the trust that we have built with Democratic voters and to keep our thumb off the scale as party officers,” Martin added.
