But you know what’s the rub of it all, Mr. President?

On top of not accepting an America that elected us, you cannot accept that we don’t fear you,either.

You can’t accept that we will call your bluff & offer a positive vision for this country. And that’s what makes you seethe.

She is showing a Democratic Backbone that I like and admire.

She is freaking out the ApricotHellbeast.

This will mess up the authoritarian RW & their media lackeys for weeks.

The Representative is publicly fighting back. I think our party, and nation, need 'behind the scenes action' and an 'in your face action'.

My opinion.

[BeyondGeography]

1. She forgot to add "work with us"

[trev]

2. I have shared your opinion for 20 years.

Democrats have never been forceful enough for me. But I keep hoping; and the freshman class boosts that hope.

4. I'm totally with her on this. Blast trump and repugs up and down on social media...

keep it in-house though on other Dems. Sit down face-to-face and hash it out like adults. Other Dems are not our enemies.

[irisblue]

8. I am very negative on her chief of staff

That dude-Saikat Chakrabarti-is doing the Dem Party wrong.

[brush]

10. Yes he is. He's the one who tweeted out of AOC's office that other Dems are like...

segregationists from the '40s. This caused this whole big public quarrel with the Speaker and AOC and the so-called "squad" that has blown up into being protrayed as a huge riff by the media and others.

AOC has a management problem she has to solve with this guy. She needs to either fire him or silence him someway.

[PatrickforO]

22. Yeah, at the very least a formal apology.

[we can do it]

14. Like what's she's doing to the pukes.

Needs to keep differences in the party out of public. We need a united public force.

[TEB]

5. We need more fine people like AOC

In congress and the senate I feel the same about her irisblue

[lapucelle]

6. She was born in the boroughs, "Mr. President", just like you, and she grew up in Westchester,

12 miles away from where you have one of your exclusive golf clubs. You should be familiar with the area.

[melman]

9. Can't give it a rest?

Very obvious what you're doing here.

"and she grew up in Westchester, 12 miles away from where you have one of your exclusive golf clubs"

[George II]

11. Nothing wrong or incorrect with what lapucelle said.

[melman]

12. The donut gag!

Bazinga?

[George II]

15. If it were later in the day it might have been one of these:

[melman]

16. No it wouldn't

The donut has a specific meaning.

[UniteFightBack]

13. Nothing wrong with being from Westchester but you can tell she ain't from da boroughs. nt

[PatrickforO]

25. Her parents lived in the Bronx, as I understand it, and then worked hard to

buy a little dinky house in Westchester so AOC could attend better schools.

And that's bad................why?

[lapucelle]

33. There's absolutely nothing bad about that.

Her parents kept the condo in the Parkchester neighborhood in the Bronx and bought a house in Westchester so she could go to school/grow up in the suburbs. I think her dad stayed in the condo in the Bronx sometimes because that's where his small architectural business was located.

I think the house in Westchester is pretty. It might seem dinky to folks who grew up affluent, but it's just the kind of house I've lived in all my life.

[Gothmog]

32. That is interesting

[lapucelle]

35. Sometimes when I have meetings at St. John's, I detour past Trump's childhood home.

[Bettie]

7. We need more like her

people who aren't afraid to stand up against would-be tyrants.

She's fearless and I love that about her.

[zentrum]

17. Love and trust her.

AOC 2024/2028!

[aikoaiko]

18. I agree. And I don't have to agree with her 100% to support her 100%

for AOC.

[PatrickforO]

19. I love AOC. She absolutely great, and this response

to the Chief Dirt Bag's deplorable racist tweet is right on the money.

[Rstrstx]

20. Another political gift from Trump

Just as everyone was going bonkers over Democratic infighting he steps in and gives us an incredibly ignorant tweet to get every Democrat to join together in condemning. If I didn't know any better I would think he can't stand it when it's not all about him.

[PatrickforO]

26. My wife and I were thinking that, too.

Hopefully we won't find a way to recreate the rift.

[Ponietz]

21. Thank you

She’s a Gal-vanizer. No wonder Drumpfuck feels threatened.

[Ohiogal]

23. I love her fearlessness

Speaking the truth. We need more like her!

[SidDithers]

24. Has she fired her Chief of Staff yet?...

Don't really care what she has to say until that happens.

Sid

[watoos]

27. Start a thread

We can bash both him and her together.

Have you seen Steny Hoyer, he needs to have the “squads” back. You do know they are getting a lot of death threats. Any idea why AOC is getting death threats?

[irisblue]

29. Appreciate your input Sid

[Thekaspervote]

34. Agree!

[brutus smith]

28. Luv ya AOC!

Keep up the good fight!

[Lunabell]

31. She's the Democrat I want fighting for me.

I love her ideas, her strength and her resolve to fight for the working class and minorities.
