Rashida Tlaib described what it was like to meet with Barack Obama.

You ever wonder where she gets her hate for the country, and it’s current president? Well look no further than her boss, friend, and mentor. That’s right Mr 44 himself Barack Obamanation.

“Barack Obama met with us new members of Congress, and we had a thoughtful discussion about serving our country,” she tweeted while sharing a picture of the two of them together. “The best part was when he looked straight at me and said, ‘I’m proud of you.'”

The former president also tweeted his thoughts on meeting the latest batch of House Democrats.

“It’s a young, diverse class, stocked with a bunch of my campaign and administration alums who’ve taken the torch. This group is going to be driving progress for a long time to come,” he wrote.

According to reports, Obama used the event to warn the freshmen about the cost of some of the policies that have attracted media attention. My question is was she sworn in with a bible or Quran? And if it’s not a christian bible, and it is a Quran could this is against some sort of rule of law violated which could mean her entire office is not legally sworn in?

“He said we [as Democrats] shouldn’t be afraid of big, bold ideas—but also need to think in the nitty-gritty about how those big, bold ideas will work and how you pay for them,” a person who was present at the reception told The Washington Post.

While not mentioning any by name, it was believed that Obama was referring to the Medicare for All and Green New Deal policies.

The U.S. Senate recently voted against the Green New Deal bill 57-0, with 42 Democratic senators voting “present” rather than “yes” or “no,” foiling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s attempt to get them on the record.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed concerns about its cost while giving a speech to the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services. She said the U.S. would end up paying for the cost of climate change whether the bill passed or not.

“As towns and cities go underwater, as wildfires ravage our communities, we’re going to pay. And we have to decide whether we’re going to pay to react, or pay to be proactive,” she said. Which is what they been saying for decades, and it’s always “10” or so years out before we’re doomed! This is an old lie being re-told by AOC because it’s the lie her “Socialist Democrats” keep spreading… Yet it never happens! But it keeps people in fear, and makes the ignorant think these people care, and are working for them when in reality it’s all a scam for them to make money, and gain power. Stop being stupid…. Look who’s behind these women, and thus the truth is revealed on the agenda they got.

According to an estimate from the American Action Forum, a center-right think tank, the Green New Deal could cost taxpayers between $50 trillion and $93 trillion over a 10-year period, although this figure has been questioned.

“I’d say that it is way too early to even pretend to put cost estimates on the Green New Deal. It’s at this point a still-amorphous construct,” Josh Bivens, director of research at the labor-funded Economic Policy Institute, told FactCheck.org.
