Rep. Rashida Tlaib encouraged a crowd of Bernie Sanders supporters to boo Hillary Clinton over the 2016 Democratic nominee saying that ‘nobody liked’ the Vermont senator.
Tlaib was serving as an opening act alongside Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal at a rally Sanders was supposed to attend – though he phoned in instead, as he didn’t leave President Trump’s impeachment trial in Washington on time.
‘No, I’ll boo!’ Tlaib said as moderator Dionna Langford mentioned Clinton’s comments to the Congressional trio.

Langford had tried to stop the crowd from heckling Clinton.
‘We’re not going to boo. We’re not going to boo,’ Langford said.
‘We’re classy here,’ she added.
But the Michigan Democrat went undeterred.
Hillary Clinton made the comments about Bernie Sanders as part of a four-part Hulu project about her. She told The Hollywood Reporter she still stands by them
‘You all know I can’t be quite. No, we’re gonna boo,’ she told the crowd of thousands, assembled to hear the musician Bon Iver play and surrogates of the Sanders campaign speak.
‘That’s all right, the haters will shut up on Monday when we win,’ she added.
Tlaib already has a reputation for stirring up trouble.
On the night she was sworn into Congress she attended an event and announced to the crowd, ‘We’re going to impeach the motherf***ker.’
She’s since become a member of the so-called squad, which also consists of Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley.
Clinton’s raw feelings about Sanders came to light earlier this month as the former secretary of state talked to The Hollywood Reporter as part of promoting a four-party Hulu series ‘Hillary.’
‘Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician,’ she said in the series. ‘It’s all baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.’
Asked if that remains her opinion she told The Hollywood Reporter the answer was yes.
Clinton did not commit to supporting Sanders should he become the Democratic nominee.
In 2016, Sanders didn’t drop out until the very end of the Democratic primary – though eventually supported and campaigned on behalf of Clinton.
With the Iowa causes just three days away, Sanders looks poised to knock off the moderate frontrunner, former Vice President Joe Biden, this time around.
Polls show Sanders leading, on average, by 3.6 points.
Sanders supporters haven’t always been known to play nice to the Vermont senator’s political rivals.
In November, as Sanders was introducing Rep. Ilhan Omar as an official campaign surrogate in Minneapolis, Minnesota a ‘Lock him up!’ chant briefly broke out about President Trump.
