"We're going to go in there and impeach the motherf---er," Tlaib said.

Now, Tlaib is doubling down on her comment.

"I think President Trump has met his match," she said.

Local 4's Mara MacDonald traveled to Washington, D.C., to speak with Tlaib.

"I stand by impeaching the president of the United States," Tlaib said. "I ran on that."

"It's probably exactly how my grandmother, if she was alive, would say it," Tlaib said. "Obviously, I am a member of Congress and things that I say are elevated on a national level, and I understand that very clearly. I am very passionate, and I grew up in an incredibly beautiful, urban community -- the city of Detroit -- born and raised. We say colorful things in interesting ways, but I tell you, the president of the United States is my focus. The residents back home are my focus."
