Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib refused to vote for the Democratic Party Platform and wrote in Bernie Sanders for president.
The “Unbossed” radical Congresswoman is a “Palestinian-American” who has been in hot water before for going against the party line. She is one of four freshman congresswomen who are proud of their radical views.
Tlaib said that she is against the party platform because it doesn’t include a single-payer system for healthcare:
“Today, I cast my DNC ballot and voted NO on the proposed platform. I constantly hear from constituents demanding we push for a single-payer system and away from this for-profit system that is leaving people to suffer and die just because they cannot afford health care.”
“As a party, we must push for a future where every resident has the ability to thrive. That means we need a platform that works to rid our society of oppression and greed. Unfortunately, in my view, this platform does not do enough.”

The far-left arm of the Democrats has taken over the party so it’s just a matter of time before Tlaib gets her way.
