Rep. Raskin wins a unanimous decision in the battle of wits. Expert analysis indicates that Rep. Greene was unarmed.

But omg, how excruciatingly ironic. There is not a trace of gentleness in MTG, nor is there anything remotely ladylike about her. Referring to her that way is beyond ludicrous and is just one more indication of her complete unfitness to serve in Congress.

I don’t see anything “alleged”, just an understanding of an assertion. It was a very powerful statement to go into the congressional record.

Stop letting Rethugs insult us & define us without pushing back.

When they say something & we don't challenge it, when we let the accusation stand, a bunch of people take that as an indication that the accusation is true.
