Controversial freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has vowed to introduce new legislation that she boasts will lead to President Donald Trump's impeachment before the end of March.

Radical progressive Democrat Tlaib yelled to a cheering crowd in January, “we’re gonna impeach the mother***er” about President Trump, on the night she became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Now she has announced that by the end of this month, she will introduce legislation to impeach the president.

Tlaib boasted, "We saw record turnout in an election year, where people wanted to elect a jury that would begin the impeachment proceedings to Donald Trump."

"We want to work on these economic justice issues, racial justice issues and everything," she continued, according to The Hill.

"But guess what? There is a wall there, and a constitutional crisis that is not going to [let us] do our jobs as American Congress members to push a lot of these agendas forward.”

According to the Daily Wire, while bragging about the new Democratic members of Congress, Tlaib added, "This is the largest class since Watergate.

"This is a class — a diverse class — that comes ... with a sense of urgency to act. To act to hold corporations accountable, to act in holding President Trump accountable, to act to really try to see real reforms, even within our congressional process.

"This is an emergency for many of us."

On the night after she joined the House of Representatives, Tlaib cried, “People love you and you win.

"And when your son looks at you and says, 'Momma, look you won. Bullies don’t win.'

"And I said, 'Baby, they don’t, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the mother***er.’”

The week she was inducted into the House, Tlaib published an op-ed in the Detroit Free Press calling for Trump’s impeachment.

She wrote:

President Donald Trump is a direct and serious threat to our country. On an almost daily basis, he attacks our Constitution, our democracy, the rule of law and the people who are in this country. His conduct has created a constitutional crisis that we must confront now …

We already have overwhelming evidence that the president has committed impeachable offenses, including, just to name a few: obstructing justice; violating the emoluments clause; abusing the pardon power; directing or seeking to direct law enforcement to prosecute political adversaries for improper purposes; advocating illegal violence and undermining equal protection of the laws; ordering the cruel and unconstitutional imprisonment of children and their families at the southern border; and conspiring to illegally influence the 2016 election through a series of hush money payments …

We are also now hearing the dangerous claim that initiating impeachment proceedings against this president is politically unwise and that, instead, the focus should now shift to holding the president accountable via the 2020 election. Such a claim places partisan gamesmanship over our country and our most vulnerable at this perilous moment in our nation’s history. Members of Congress have a sworn duty to preserve our Constitution. Leaving a lawless president in office for political points would be abandoning that duty …

This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about all of us. What should we be as a nation? Who should we be as a people? In the face of this constitutional crisis, we must rise. We must rise to defend our Constitution, to defend our democracy, and to defend that bedrock principle that no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. Each passing day brings more pain for the people most directly hurt by this president, and these are days we simply cannot get back. The time for impeachment proceedings is now.

Tlaib is not the first House Democrat to pursue impeaching Trump.

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) has introduced articles of impeachment; Rep. Al Green (D-TX) has promised to reintroduce a motion to impeach the president.
