Washington, Jan 4 (AFP) Donald Trump Friday blasted as "disgraceful" a new Congresswoman's expletive-laced demand for the president's impeachment.

"Her comments were disgraceful," Trump said of remarks the previous day by Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, adding that "I think she dishonored herself and dishonored her family."

Tlaib's comments went viral on social media and have put Democratic leadership on the back foot, as they have said keeping Trump in check was their priority rather than removing him from office before the 2020 election. AFP
