Today in an appearance in the White House Rose Garden, President Trump spoke with reporters about the shutdown, border security and other issues. Trump was also asked about the video of Rep. Rashida Tlaib saying “we’re gonna impeach the motherf****r,” and responded this way:
Trump's message for #RashidaTlaib: "I think she dishonored herself. And I think she dishonored her family."
"I thought it was highly disgraceful to the United States of America," he added.

Trump says Tlaib "dishonored herself and dishonored her family" and adds that it was "highly disrespectful to the United States of America."

NBC News’ Jonathan Allen not only reported what Trump said, but added a bit of an editorial, considering who Trump was talking about:
.@realDonaldTrump on @RashidaTlaib:
"I think she dishonored herself and I think she dishonored her family. …
I thought it was highly disrespectful to the United States of America."— Jonathan Allen (@jonallendc) January 4, 2019
It's hard to think of a more loaded word than "dishonored" to describe the actions of a Muslim woman. https://t.co/EM7DSS56Ws

Is a totally objective journalist defending the honor of an incoming Democrat member of Congress?
Oh look, a journalist rushing to protect a freshman Dem from criticism! How shocking!

Meanwhile, an alternate assignment was recommended:
If you're looking for a story, you might interview the congresswoman about her thoughts on Israel.
