Stabenow, Tlaib just blasted Trump at NAACP convention in Detroit

Michigan’s congressional leaders sounded a call to action Monday, urging people attending the national NAACP convention in Detroit to stand up and fight the current administration of President Donald Trump.

Debbie Stabenow

U.S. Debbie Stabenow, D-Lansing, used the president’s own words – “I really wish she wasn't from Michigan, I think we should send her back” – when talking about Trump Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, who hails from Grand Rapids.

She also said that today is no time to be complacent.

"Let’s be clear today, President Trump is a bully and we stand up to bullies," she said. "This is a critical moment in our history, the leadership of NAACP is needed as we see the poison of racism. Donald Trump has given permission to people who used to stand in sheets in the middle of night to stand in the light in front of the microphones. This is wrong."

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who has been the target of racist tweets from Trump, got a standing ovation from the crowd and said, “I’m not going nowhere, not until I impeach this president.”

She also said that "The Squad" is not just the four progressive congresswomen — Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — who have created a stir at the U.S. Capitol.

"It’s beyond just the four of us. You are all the squad, trust me," she said.

Trump ignited a firestorm last week after he tweeted about the four women of color, saying they "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world … Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Three of the four congresswomen – Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley — were born in the United States and Omar is a refugee from Somalia and an American citizen.

Nancy Pelosi

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-California, didn’t speak of the tweets or the president directly, but quoting both Thomas Payne and Martin Luther King Jr., she told those attending the 110th annual NAACP convention that the turbulent times have found us.

“The times have found all of us to make the difference that our country is crying out for now,” she said. “This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off … Today, the times have found us to achieve a future full of justice, worthy of our founders.”

Pelosi has been plagued this month with a pair of problems. First, there has been a simmering tension between much of the Democratic caucus in the House and the Squad.

The four, and their supporters, have been highly critical of Pelosi for a vote on immigration aid that they opposed and Pelosi has been dismissive of the strength of their coalition.

But Trump, and his racist tweets about the four women and attempts to paint them as the face of the Democratic Party, have actually worked to unite the warring factions of the party against Trump.

Pelosi spoke of the need for justice in many aspects of public policy, from the environment, to criminal justice, to civil rights.

Quoting Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a bus in Alabama, saying, 'I'm tired of giving in," Pelosi said, "We, too, must be tired of giving in. We, too, must continue to stand for fairness and genuine equality."

But she left the more fiery rhetoric to Michigan's Democratic congressional delegation and they delivered.

U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield, spoke of the importance of the 2020 election.

"If you can't believe what's happening and you’re tired of all the attacks and you feel like there's a cloud over America, black people, we can change all of that," she said. "Our mission: we cannot have a black person sit at home on election day because we know that we fight with our vote."

The convention continues through Wednesday when a presidential forum will be held, featuring Democratic candidates, including former vice president Joe Biden, U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker; former U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke and Republican candidate Bill Weld.
