AOC responds to Team Mitch incels groping photo

[Leghorn21]

Hey
@senatemajldr
- these young men look like they work for you.

Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?

Thanks.

1. These young men are depraved

This should be condemned nationally - fuck Moscow Mitch

[usaf-vet]

25. Didn't SENATOR Al Franken lose his seat for similar behavior. Sen Gillibrand? Sen. Schumer?

Similar NON-TOUCHING behavior. A joke?

How long before the defenders of these boys will blow it off as just a joke?

I'll bet before the day is out.

[NoMoreRepugs]

30. Alleged non-touching behavior wasn't it???

[usaf-vet]

38. Some of the latest stories I've read suggest Schumer wouldn't even give him a chance to be heard.

Guilty until gone. But not guilty until proven innocent.

The video would have suggested non-touching behavior. At the time, I estimated 12-15 inches away.

Regardless it was enough to get him booted.

32. Yes, Though Not Nearly That Severe

Of course, Massacre Mitch would respond to precisely ZERO pressure to resign.

[True Dough]

2. The grooming of the deplorables

Doesn't bode well for their futures, or ours.

[dustyscamp]

18. The Cons have been grooming our youth through social media, fox news, and religious schools to hate

Hate Liberals and empathy we need to counter this or Magats will one day be the majority

[onethatcares]

3. have they been identified yet?

I would imagine their college would really appreciate their outlook, along with any future employers.

[Leghorn21]

8. Apparently, one - there are posts in the Team Mitch thread (or whatever it's called!) that identify

these Mitch McConnell Senate Campaign aides by name

I'm just thrilled to see that it's trending! - was afraid this would get lost in the shuffle of our unending news cycle -

[Wednesdays]

24. Future employers? Brett Kavanaugh would hire them in a heartbeat!

Faux News, too.

[Maru Kitteh]

31. They're CHRISTIANS 🙄

Just some wholesome young white nationalists, having fun. Nothing to worry about.

[Botany]

4. Good to see those young men from Covington Catholic High School have moved on to new jobs.

I bet none of those young men would have the balls to do or say anything to A.O.C.'s face.
Punks.

[Me.]

13. Covington Catholic High School Again?

The same school that sent young punks to DC where they disrespected a Native American elder?

[Botany]

16. I don't know if they are from Covington Catholic .... just a guess on my part.

n/t

[Srkdqltr]

5. Love the way they look into the camera

With their bare faces hanging out there so they can be identified. Really smart guys. (Not). The brain trust of the future.

[Botany]

7. Is college is in their future? .... I bet some college administrators or professors might not be ...

... to see them on campus.

11. Falwell university will give full scholarship.

Good Christian men. God's will!

[calimary]

14. Young white men. Serving the far "right."

We see too many of them in the perpetrator column of these shootings. Wonder who among them is the next candidate.

Sorry. Gotta say it.

[Traildogbob]

23. ????

Not sure how to take your response. I was not supporting these white pricks, just saying that action is welcome in Evilgelical cults. And, they "are" in government. The presidency, rape and female abuse is trump. And guess who loves him and claims God sent him?

[Wednesdays]

26. Yeah, Regent University as well as Liberty U.,

along with a whole lineup of "Christian" colleges.

[Bettie]

28. They are young, male, white, and

from rich families. They know their kind seldom has to face consequences for their actions.

[iscooterliberally]

6. Moscow Mitch is infested with incels. Who would have thought? n/t

[BannonsLiver]

21. Oh, I doubt that lot are incels

My hunch is they're the fuckathon frat boy types not immune to either forcing themselves on, or drugging their prey.

[BSdetect]

9. These are all destined to mate with inflatable dolls. .

[calimary]

17. Ah yes. The infamous "incels".

Pretty doggone pathetic to think that some of these young men go down the rabbit hole essentially because they can’t get laid.

[Calculating]

36. Well it is a basic human need

It's not shocking that a complete lack of it causes some people to go a bit crazy.

[RAB910]

10. They look like Hitler youth

[calimary]

12. And can their names be reported to the police?

[jmowreader]

20. For what reason?

Groping cardboard cut-outs isn’t illegal.

The proper response would be to let the world know all their names, so that they spend their lives employed as night stockers at Walmart and marry undesirable women.

[SCVDem]

22. What if they were AA or Muslim?

There would be an FBI file opened.

[jmowreader]

35. We know that, but it still wouldn't be a crime

Shunning by society, academia and employers is the correct punishment for these assholes. Bring the legal system in and they become heroes. Better they wind up in a dead-end job with an ugly wife and four or five bratty kids.

[calimary]

39. Shunning. A good idea. They've certainly earned it.

[lunatica]

15. She just takes them on head on, unflinching

and with few words skewers them. Like swatting flies away.

[Hortensis]

19. Mitch's own dismissal that the displays were at a public

political event that HE could control is itself extremely damning.

People who imagine Democrats could have done anything to persuade Moscow Mitch to pass gun control legislation through the senate should take a goood look at just what this says about him. And the rest of their leadership. It's clear they'll now do anything to keep power, and includes inciting RW extremist violence.

Notably, 94% of all domestic American terrorist attacks have been committed by non-Muslim RW extremists, the very kind of people Trump AND Mitch are inciting to violence against Democrats. (2% by Muslims, 2% by LW extremists.) These are federal figures and don't include hate crime perps that don't meet the definition of terrorism, but they're very indicative.

Btw, anyone listening to Fox? I saw one clip criticizing Trump, but any sign that they've actually joined him in trolling for violence yet? Beyond the typical fascistic Piro calls to take to the streets and storm congress and the courts.

[Gothmog]

27. This picture is truly offensive

The idiots in this picture look like members of the Hitler youth group

[TryLogic]

29. Someone post their names and save the photo.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. I doubt that they're incels.

Bullies? Yes.

Not many bullies support Democrats. Fairness is a turn-off for them.

[ConstanceCee]

34. Their Faces

What is it about their faces that projects RePugism? Is it smirks, dead eyes, what is it?

[Calculating]

37. I don't think those guys are incels lol

They look straight out of a frat house. With that said, their encounters might not be entirely consensual.
