Newly sworn in Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has no intention of apologizing for the language she used in calling for President Trump’s impeachment. Unlike the women who paved the way, the young, female politicians sworn into Congress this week don’t seem to care what you think about them. The Hillary Clintons and Nancy Pelosis of the world came up in politics when it was mostly a man’s game. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who wears a hijab, got Congress to lift a 181-year ban forbiding headwear on the House floor. Now that they’re in the door and have a seat at the table, they’re going to make themselves heard.
