AOC was amazing on MJ this morning.

It's the first time I've ever seen Scarbro' keep his mouth shut for an extended period of time while someone else was speaking.

[Scottie Mom]

1. Agree.

❤️ AOC!

What an amazing person she is!

[ariadne0614]

3. I love her too, and this morning I love her more. n/t

[The Magistrate]

2. She Has The 'X-Factor', Ma'am

A palpable presence.

[ariadne0614]

4. Yup. I say she's magical. n/t

[Celerity]

5. Yes, Joe was very quiet for a change, whilst she was talking

AOC was superb. she has that 'it' factor.

She also looked positively stunning and glowing physically, which is amazing given the thousands of non stop death threats she labours under over the past 3 years, including from her OWN FUCKING COLLEAGUES.

I cannot begun to fathom that psychic toll.

[ariadne0614]

7. She's at least as courageous as she is magical. n/t

[lark]

6. She is an amazingly smart young woman and I like her more all the time.

She knocked it out of the park this morning.

26. Impressive. Thanks. nt

[spanone]

11. She is so articulate and handled the interview with grace and ease.

[ariadne0614]

13. Agree. And she spoke for the majority without hesitation or reservation.

I hope West Virginia was watching.

[spanone]

14. 👍🏼

[RussBLib]

12. she is destined for great things

unless our gun-happy culture takes her out.

I could see her in the Senate, maybe even the White House.

[Quakerfriend]

15. Yes, I am just so thankful for her.

And, to think she was tending bar not that long ago.

[ariadne0614]

19. I had most of the same thoughts,

. . .but I deep-sixed the awful one.

[gab13by13]

17. I hope it gets replayed, but I doubt it,

when she said that she represents more people than Joe Manchin does.

Remember now S1 is S1 because it was the first bill. 7 months ago Chuck Schumer should have carved up S1 into 10 pieces and voted on those individual bills rapid fire, one bill after the other and when Republicans voted down every reasonable bill I would have gone to Manchin and said that Republicans will not compromise, I am doing a carve out of the filibuster bill just for S1 and I expect your vote. If you vote no I expect you to explain why to the American people, no I will demand it.

[ariadne0614]

21. Shoulda, coulda, but wouldn't. n/t

[lapucelle]

31. Is that an actual quote? N/T

[sheilahi]

18. Maybe she should be on EVERYDAY

I already liked her but even more now. Anyone who can make Joe STFU is a friend of mine.

[ariadne0614]

24. Once she really got going I kept waiting for him to barge in, but he never did.

Maybe Mika was kicking him under the table.

[Old Okie]

20. Morning Joe

Sorry I missed her, when I tuned in to Joe he had on some guy trying to say Manchin was right to reject the bill so I switched it off.

[ariadne0614]

23. You can watch the link posted above.

The segment was longer, and kept getting better, but at least it gives you an idea. I hope the entire segment gets posted at some point. The best parts were left out.

(Note: Thanks to UCmeNdc, I just added a link to another 9+ minutes)

[UCmeNdc]

22. K&R

[Oppaloopa]

27. Did anyone see Hillary Clinton on CNN on Sunday? She was outstanding

[Celerity]

32. Do you have a link? I would love to watch it. TIA

[jcmaine72]

28. Big K&R, +100000, and all that and a bag of chips..

AOC was fantastic this morning. She's the future of our party, and a pretty formidable presence now. I wouldn't trade her for an entire zoo full of disloyal DINO Manchimps.

[ariadne0614]

29. +1

[DLevine]

30. Yes she was. Thank you AOC. nt

[George II]

33. Didn't see it. Did she have a word of criticism for any of the 50 republican senators blocking BBB?

[ariadne0614]

34. Fair question.

If I understand your point, I agree that Republicans deserve a relentless contingent of spotlights and microphones shoved in their faces, and I blame MSM for the failure to do their jobs.

AOC did make pointed references to gerrymandering, voter suppression, and Ted Cruz’s threats to filibuster Biden appointments. The fact that Republicans are the main culprits was implicit.

IMHO, what she did with this single opportunity was far more effective. She modeled what it looks and sounds like to be an unambiguous warrior for democracy. She rallied the troops and armored them for the battles ahead. I hope you had a chance to watch the entire interview.
