A nearly decade-old article in The Detroit News, suggests Michigan Rep.

Rashida Tlaib's own father hasn't always had a high opinion of her.

The story, dated March 11, 2010, quotes the Democratic Socialist's father,

who accused her of lying "big-time to get elected" by deliberately falsifying

her address.

The Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra reports:

Tlaib's father, Harbi Elabed, made the accusations against Tlaib, who at the

time was a freshman state-level representative from the 12th District in

Detroit’s Southwest side. The newspaper article was scrubbed from the

internet when The Detroit News migrated to a new website but was

available in a subscription-based digital archive. The Detroit News reported:

He said his daughter misrepresented her residency when she signed

an election affidavit in 2008 with the Wayne County Clerk claiming she

was a citizen of Detroit.

According to that affidavit, Tlaib claimed she lived at 9123 Rathbone in

Detroit. That house is owned in part by her father, Harbi Elabed, and he

now says she did not live there and he was only recently made aware that

she had claimed so.

"She lied," Elabed said. "She lied big-time to get elected. I never teach her

that way. I teach her the right way. It’s my house. She didn’t live there. She

lived in Dearborn in her house with her husband and boy."
