Watch: Rep. Rashida Tlaib Has a Screaming Meltdown as She’s Blocked from Entering Trump Administration Building
On March 4,2025,a theatrical political protest was held by democratic members of Congress outside the Department of Housing and Urban Progress (HUD) building. Key figures such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Rep. Maxine Waters of California were prominent in the event, which aimed to protest budget cuts to federal housing assistance orchestrated by the Department of Government Efficiency.
During the protest, Tlaib vocally confronted a HUD employee after she and other protesters were denied access to the building, insisting that the staff member did not serve the american public. Reports indicate Tlaib reacted with frustration, exemplified by her exclamations directed at the HUD worker.
Waters attempted to deliver a letter to Housing Secretary Scott Turner but was reportedly turned away. Although she was later allowed to communicate with HUD staff,she claimed that she faced obstacles in delivering her message regarding the budget cuts,emphasizing a strong commitment to advocate for housing rights. The HUD communications office later stated that Waters was not denied entry and had spoken with senior leadership, suggesting that the day’s events were more of a political stunt than a genuine refusal of access.
The protest reflects broader concerns regarding federal housing funding and civil rights amid budget cuts,highlighting an ongoing tension between Congress and the executive branch over housing policies.
A theatrical political protest starring Democratic members of Congress took place Monday at the building housing offices of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
As shown in a cameo appearance on X, Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan called out a HUD worker after she and a group of protesters were denied access to the building.
As the contingent of protesters was being escorted out of the building, Tlaib grabbed the spotlight by screaming above the hubbub that the target of her ire did not “work for the American people.”

Although the audio was of poor quality, it sounded as if she was contradicted, leading her to scream, “No you don’t! No you don’t! You don’t give a s***.”
The theme of the protest was that Democrats, including Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California, came to deliver a letter to Housing Secretary Scott Turner but were turned away, according to Breitbart.
The letter and the protest were aimed at attacking cuts to the federal dole instigated by the Department of Government Efficiency.
Waters was in fact allowed into the building and spoke with HUD staff.

HUD Chief of Staff Andrew Hughes offered to take the letter to Turner, an offer Waters rejected.
Waters returned to the crowd outside to say she had been stymied, according to WJLA-TV.
“We came to deliver a letter to him, but they wouldn’t let us do it. We were stopped by someone who said he was a chief of staff and someone else who didn’t identify himself, and they said he was too busy. I said, ‘I’m prepared to stay here until hell freezes over,’” Waters said. “They’re canceling fair housing funding and civil rights.”
This is what a political stunt looks like:
1️⃣ Maxine Waters was not denied entry
2️⃣The Congresswoman spoke with HUD senior leadership
3️⃣Waters watched President Trump accomplishments video in lobby‼️
4️⃣Waters asked senior leadership to say she was being denied
5️⃣She departed https://t.co/2NfuKkp0Wr— Sec. Turner Press Office (@SecTurnerPress) March 3, 2025
In a post on X, HUD’s communications office said the truth was different.
“This is what a political stunt looks like,” the post said. “The Congresswoman spoke with HUD senior leadership.”
