Do I think she has to apologize? No. Would I have more respect for her if she did? Yeah. This is where I stand too.

She should not apologize for what she said, but if she took the high road and apologized for using a vulgar term the apology would raise her above the level of the jerk in the white house. Go high when he goes low.

No I don't. I was watching CNN and this was a private celebration party one of the commentators said. Yeah she should have maybe been aware that someone would record it but like the commentator said this wasn't at a public rally like Trump when he said MF. People would probably have more respect but that would be the only benefit to apologizing. I also agree that the conversation would be different if it was a male counterpart. What rally would that be because a google search brings up absolutely nothing about Trump ever using that word in public.

No way, no how should she apologize for what she said in front of a small group of supporters celebrating her new job. For calling him a motherfucker? From Merriam-Webster: Definition of motherfucker 1 obscene : one that is formidable, contemptible, or offensive —usually used as a generalized term of abuse 2 obscene : PERSON, FELLOW Other Words from motherfucker motherfucking \-kiŋ \ adjective, obscene First Known Use of motherfucker 1918, in the meaning defined at sense 1 I think it was an appropriate use of the word. For calling for an impeachment? An awful lot of people are itching to see that get started. The outrage that she used this word in front of her teen son?! Good gravy.

One of my family members was decrying the crassness of the Democratic party. Clutching pearls because Tlaib dared to be sworn in on the Koran instead of the bible.
I think that has a lot to do with the anger toward her.
The faux rage from the right about Ocasio Cortez's fully clothed dancing and Tlaib's f-bomb is positively hilarious.
When Trump is crass, he's a renegade who is upending the political process. When a Democrat - particularly a Democrat with ovaries - is crass, it's a sign of the apocalypse.

Nope. Not until Trump apologizes for using the exact same language.

There is a video on twitter where does say it. If I were not technically challenged I would have brought the video over here. But it does exist.

All this moral outrage suddenly. Meanwhile a sex offending adulterer is tweeting from the White House toilet. Okay. You forgot probably a pedophile with his daughter. I do not believe this to be true. There is no evidence that this has occurred. A bunch of weird ass creepy pictures and strange comments, yes, but there is no physical proof to suggest that he has abused any of his children. Please do not float that rumor or opinion. I am not going to comment on the possibility of pedophilia with any other minors not related to him though.

NOTE: Are we discussing the language or the context of what she said? Because we could go on and on about cursing. While inappropriate, that wasn't the bothersome part for me. The "Go impeach Trump" was. It's just too soon for her to even talk about it!!!

Kirsten Powers...
”My point about the collective shrug when Trump said motherf++cker and the freak out when @rashidatlaib said it isn't that we should have freaked out when Trump said it. It's that profanity is literally the least of the problems this country faces.”
I think she is right.
If she had used that term in speech on the floor of the House I might feel differently. But she didn’t. I’m more unhappy she used the word “impeach”. Until the Democrats have a really strong case to impeach they should just shut up about it.
I’m equally unhappy about the double standards I see being applied to men and women political candidates. I’m sick and tired of the people in this country who feel only men can do the job better when the reality is some of the best leaders in the world have been women. Just not from this country. It’s not that we don’t have qualified women to do the job and do it well, it’s just this ridiculous belief that it’s a”man’s job”. What a huge black eye for this country.

I'm torn as to whether or not she should apologize.
One side of me says, "Oh, HELL NO, she doesn't need to apologize!" After all, look at the crap that has spewed from the president's mouth and fingers over the past two or so years. This side of me wants to say, "Yeah, she can apologize when HE does."
But, the other side of me says yes, she should take the high road and apologize. This side of me is the real side of me, that has always tried to live by the motto of not stooping to the level that others do.
Again, I am torn. However, I am leaning to the side of she should take the high road and apologize.

I totally get what you're saying it's like the when they go low we go high but honestly sometimes I wonder if that's the problem with the democrats they never get in the mud with them!

So he can gloat that he "won?" Nah. When you're dealing with a bully, you don't back down. If she apologized, he'd take credit for it. Trust.
