AOC takes the fight to the right:



Text

Many of us have spent weeks in armored vehicles & traveling through backs of buildings bc of right-wing threats. You don’t hear much about it.

@GOPLeader McCarthy said he wants to promote House members who incited violence.

Their feigned horror at protest is a silencing tactic.

Or maybe it's all Dem House members having to do this? I don't know but it's a scary situation. All I can say is that it would have been worse if Chump were still on Twitter. So thank God he's permanently banned.

to think how that fool would be lying and inciting if he were still 'tweeting' away!
While I may be naive in not having thought about it - can you imagine the 'threat' under which the J6 Committee would be living if IQ45 were tweeting? Those that are not in jail because of their involvement would certainly be considering/planning/attempting something to 'STOP THE STEAL' that the J6 Committee represents. Only this time they'd probably plan to use Saddam Hussein's scaffold for Representative Cheney - in honor of her Father.

She is always spot on. The hypocrisy of the right on this (and hundreds of other issues) is beyond infuriating.
