This past weekend, actor Samuel L. Jackson decided to endorse Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) after she received backlash for calling on the impeachment of Donald Trump.
On Thursday, just hours after being sworn in as a new member of Congress, Tlaib took a microphone at an event and told the crowd of supporters that “we’re going to go in and impeach the motherf***er,” referring to Trump.
Tlaib received backlash for her use of the word “motherf***er.” But Jackson, who is known for using the word in his movies, decided to back Tlaib while denouncing the president.
Jackson tweeted out saying:
“@RashidaTlaib I just wanna Wholeheartedly endorse your use of & clarity of purpose when declaring your Motherfucking goal last week. Calling that Muthafukkah a Motherfucker is not an issue, calling that Muthaffuqah President Is!”
