WATCH: Dem Congresswoman Has Meltdown During AOC-Organized House Therapy Session

A tearful Rep. Rashida Tlaib could not hold back her emotions during a speech on the House floor on Thursday night during a Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-organized session of lawmakers sharing their thoughts about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, some of whom told of their own experiences of that day.

“I asked to go last,” Tlaib said, already choking up and unsuccessfully attempting to hold back tears, “because this is so personal.” . . .

“More came later, uglier, more violent. One celebrating in writing the New Zealand massacre and hoping that more would come. Another mentioning my dear son Adam,” she paused, tears coming through, “mentioning him by name. Each one paralyzed me each time.” . . .

Tlaib said that she was not in the Capitol on Jan 6. during the breach. “All I could do is thank Allah that I wasn’t here.”

This is real.” (Read more from “WATCH: Dem Congresswoman Has Meltdown During AOC-Organized House Therapy Session” HERE)
