11 Incoming Democrats Who ‘Cannot Wait to Kick Some Trump Ass’
When the 116th Congress convenes on Thursday, many of the newly elected members are bringing an anti-Trump agenda and the goal of fundamentally transforming America even farther to the left than Barack Obama tried to accomplish in his eight years in office.
Here are 11 Democrats who were elected in the 2018 midterm elections on promises to resist President Donald Trump.
• Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is one of two Muslim women who will be serving in the House for the next two years.
“I cannot wait to kick some Trump ass when I get to Congress,” said Tlaib, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), also a Democratic Socialist, has been in the headlines since she won a seat in the House because of her sometimes outlandish remarks and leftist agenda.
• Katie Hill (D-CA) was running a non-profit devoted to helping homeless people when Trump was elected, and everyone in her office cried over the news, she said.
She's going to fight "biphobia" which every knows is one of our greatest problems (sarcasm)
• Jahana Hayes (D-CT), who campaigned on gun control, is set to become a member of the House Democrats’ Gun-Violence Prevention Task Force, formed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting.
• Angie Craig (D-MN) is married to a woman, with whom she has raised four sons, according to her campaign website.
She is an advocate of unions, Planned Parenthood, and climate change.
• Donna Shalala (D-FL) weighed in ahead of being elected in the midterms on Trump saying he was reviewing the birthright citizenship law.
Shalala tweeted that Trump was “blatantly attempting to rewrite our Constitution as he continues to stoke hatred and fear.”
• Deb Haaland (D-NM) is described in the media as a lesbian and Native American.
• Sharice Davids (D-KS), “a Democrat from Kansas, made history Tuesday by becoming the first openly LGBTQ Kansan elected to Congress.
• Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is the second Muslim women to be elected to House. She tweeted about her victory on Twitter.
“The politics of joy won in 2018, and it will be the force that sustains us in 2019. Happy New Years everyone! In 2019, we are bringing revolutionary love to Washington for the people and environment,” Omar tweeted.
She also tweeted recently about “U.S. troops” killing Native Americans.
“Today is the anniversary of the massacre at Wounded Knee,” Omar tweeted on December 29. “Before we can achieve the future we dream of, we have to be honest about the history of this nation.”
• Ayanna Presley (D-MA) is in favor of single-payer health care and gun control, according to a WGBH, a Boston radio station.
• Joe Neguse (D-CO) tweeted his priorities as a new member in the House and his support for Ocasio-Cortez.
