'Just because someone has a person of color, a black person, working for them does not mean they aren't racist,' Tlaib said.
Democratic Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib suggested that Republican North Carolina Representative Mark Meadows bringing a black woman to Michael Cohen's hearing on Wednesday—in an effort to combat claims that President Donald Trump is racist—could be considered"racist."
Meadows had brought former Trump Organization employee Lynne Patton—who is now in the Department of Housing and Urban Development—and said she would not work for a racist. Meadows interjected nearly immediately, asking that her words be taken down. Asked by House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings if she'd like to rephrase what she said, Tlaib clarified her comments.
