2. So true. It's unfair but stay strong, their are those like myself that support you and

5. It's their Go To, racial attack. That said I have always had misgivings about

the nickname The Squad, as it only gave oxygen to the hate from the right. I can understand that Omar and the others were excited about entering Congress at the same time, but it may not have been the wisest to give a focal point for the crazies so early on.

6. Perhaps, but they are also there to support each other

At least each one isn't alone.

7. I would have put it down to it coming in the midst of their collective euphoria, for what were

pretty stunning victories, but now that they have gone through their first House cycle, I wonder would they bring that on themselves again, in a collective sense ?
