Former Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell used the same expletive to describe U.S. President Donald Trump as a newly elected Democratic congresswoman who is now under fire for her comments.

Campbell, Canada鈥檚 first female prime minister, : 鈥淗e really IS a mother------!鈥� Campbell attached a video of Trump reiterating his call for a border wall, despite zero support from House Democrats to support the marquee plan.

Campbell鈥檚 sharply-worded tweet comes one day after video surfaced of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Detroit, telling supporters at an event on Thursday that Democrats were going to 鈥淚mpeach the mother------.鈥�

Tlaib鈥檚 comments exemplify the thinking of a vocal group of Democrats who believe the House should take immediate steps to impeach the president. The majority of Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, agree that they should wait to see the results of Robert Mueller鈥檚 investigation.

Pelosi said she didn鈥檛 like the language and wouldn鈥檛 use it herself, but that she wouldn鈥檛 censor her colleagues. Trump called Tlaib鈥檚 choice of words 鈥渄isgraceful鈥� and said she 鈥渄ishonoured herself.鈥�

Despite some blowback within her own party, Tlaib stood by her comments on Friday, tweeting that she will 鈥渁lways speak truth to power.鈥�

Some Twitter users took issue with the former prime minister鈥檚 choice of language 鈥� prompting her to respond.

鈥淚f you don鈥檛 get the reference to the comment by Congresswoman Taib [sic]- can鈥檛 help you,鈥�

Campbell鈥檚 tweet has since been retweeted more than 500 times.
