Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib Rashida Harbi TlaibTrump attacks Omar for criticizing US: 'How did you do where you came from?'

“This is some racist bullshit (yep I cursed again...get over it!) right here,” Tlaib tweeted in reference to the event. “Who is sponsoring it?”

“@onemichigan can help organize some of us to call it out. Our kids and families can't be exposed to these types of disgusting events,” the congresswoman continued, calling on One Michigan, which is a local organization that works to provide resources to immigrant communities, for help in condemning the event.

Her tweet came in response to another post shared by Raquel Castañeda-López, who is a member of the City Council of Detroit, that also condemned the event.

In the tweet, Castañeda-López wrote: “Just found out about this event and tried to reach the organizers via Twitter and they already had me blocked. That is outrageous!”

Just found out about this event and tried to reach the organizers via twitter and they already had me blocked. That is outrageous! @MsMarySheffield @stephanielily @RepRashida join us in calling out this racist event! #notinDetroit #notinmycity https://t.co/KtZ3oDyzCs — Raquel4Detroit (@Raquel4Detroit) February 20, 2019

The initial tweet that prompted outrage from Tlaib and Castañeda-López contained a screenshot from an event being marketed by a group called “Bar Crawl Live” on its Facebook page that also featured a photo depicting white women in sombreros and mustaches.

Though the post for the event, which was dated for Dec. 21, appears to have since been removed from the business’s account, other posts shared from its profile that day advertised a similar event that was marketed as “Tacos N’ Tequila Crawl” in Detroit, as well as another in Raleigh, N.C., and Hoboken, N.J.
