AOC response tweet about Warren

[Heartstrings]

[Uncle Joe]

1. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Heartstrings.

[Moderateguy]

2. Good on AOC

Jennifer Rubin is an idiot

[CaptYossarian]

11. Jennifer Rubin is a Republican.

The women in her party are Guano Girls (Bachmann, Palin, Ernst, Blackburn, and scores of others). The historically "soft" Dems are showing passion and guts. Therefore, they're "nasty" and unqualified.

Suddenly, the GOP is in fear of hormones taking over for 5 days a month, bur when Carly Fiorina or one of theirs runs for prez, it's okay.

[lagomorph777]

72. "Republican" is synonymous with "idiot"

and lots of other, less pleasant, epithets.

[CaptYossarian]

73. When Roget died in 1869, the Republican Party was the liberal one.

All the abolitionists belonged to it. His thesaurus wouldn't have the adjectives or synonyms you and I would use for these vermin.

[BKDem]

19. Trump has changed Jennifer Rubin.

She used to be the dumbest of all the WaPo columnists, but now she sees Trump for what he is. This comment about Warren is the old, terrible repressed Jennifer gasping for one last sip of the old RW Kool-Aid.

[DemocracyMouse]

57. Well said! :-)

[ecstatic]

59. LOL! nt

[BlueMTexpat]

62. Exactly!

Good for AOC!

[uponit7771]

70. +1, Rubin is going through text book world hurt and she wants to get back to the world she's ....

... comfortable in where Republicans were only a little racist and acted like they put America first.

The republican pops out ... we have to remind the never Trumpers often

[BeckyDem]

3. Love her. You go AOC.

[Ohiogal]

4. AOC speaks the truth once again.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. SO TRUE!! Why we LOVE AOC!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[mvd]

5. AOC is one of my favorites

In her, I see a young person who can take Bernie’s mantle. Terrific response.

[LisaM]

18. Wait, she posts about Warren and you turn it into about Bernie?

I mean, c'mon!

[mvd]

21. No, it was just an observation about her

I said I was happy she responded the way she did.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. MINE TOO!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

43. AOC is far more pragmatic than ideologue Sanders

It's why I can't support him. His focus is far too narrow for the job at hand

[Kerrycrat]

45. Agreed

I asked a Bernie supporter what the plan was to get his agenda enacted. She said to vote out all the crooked Senators.

Oh sure. I believe in fairies. Ping!

So, no plan, or none that she’s concerned about.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

47. a lot of Bernie supporters are sweetly naive.

But that sweetness could easily turn bitter and completely disenchanted by the process.

AOC truly is the future of progressive politics.

[Moderateguy]

51. This is the stuff of nightmares...

I’m afraid that these naive people will stop participating in the process once a “President” Sanders cannot deliver on his pie-in-the-sky promises. We’ll loose lots of democratic voters for the next 50 years to disillusionment

[mjvpi]

60. For young, idealists

The image of a white, billionaire buying his way into a nomination has an equal chance of doing the same thing.

[mvd]

50. Personally I think it is good that he sticks to his principles

Advocate for them now and then we can deal with Congress. It is never going to be something that turns me off from Sanders. AOC is probably right that not everything can be passed right away, but why should Sanders running for President settle for less than he believes. He will be in a good position for any compromise.

[rainy]

6. Jennifer Rubin post constant negativity towards Elizabeth Warren

[FM123]

7. Great response AOC!

Btw, while Jennifer Rubin hates trump, she is still a conservative so this kind of snarky remark does not surprise me.

[CaptYossarian]

13. She doesn't like Donald J Swamp and she doesn't like Democrats.

I know a place where there is no government. Maybe she can move there--Antarctica.

[rpannier]

56. The Sudan?

I understand there isn't much government there
Or, many war zones -- Yemen, areas of Syria

[jmg257]

8. Sweet - perfect response! nt

[DanieRains]

9. You Have To Endure A Lot

To be a woman going up against the wealthy and powerful.

I know asking bazillionaires to pay a little tax is way out of line.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

10. She's right!

[PETRUS]

12. I guess one could say she was "angry."

But there's plenty to be angry about! She seemed emotionally charged, but not at all unhinged, and I appreciated that.

[yardwork]

14. Great tweet!

[iluvtennis]

15. Very happy to see this reply from AOC who is a Bernie Bro. Way to go AOC. nt

[wallyworld2]

16. Mean and angry Warren is not a good look

Not when that look is at you!

That's the look just before hell fire reigns down and your humiliation follows

[Tweedy]

41. And may we see that look headed Mr. Trump's way

I can hear him now "unfair!"

Senator Warren will turn his hate infused, poll tested, word salad into saliva crumbles.

Righteous !

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. Jennifer Rubin's statement is not a good look. A complicit false

equivalence media normalizing the orange asshole is not a good look

[H2O Man]

20. Recommended.

[PatrickforO]

22. Gotta like AOC. Many on here don't, but she is the face of the new

progressive wing of the party.

Sometimes I go on her twitter feed and the troll-hate is so strong you can almost cut it with a knife. The fact she's still in there slugging says lots of good things about her.

Reminds me of that old Argent song:

[Heartstrings]

49. Great tune!

[BigOleDummy]

68. Agreed

I love AOC and look forward to her continued rise in the political arena.

[liberalla]

23. Thank you, AOC!

[warmfeet]

24. Well,

I am very fucking angry.

I want AOC to be our President, when she qualifies for the minimum age requirement (35 yrs).

I hope others are angry as well.

If you are not angry, I am not convinced that you have been paying attention.

[Blue_playwright]

61. Me, too.

My kids will be out of the house by then and I plan to volunteer like crazy for AOC!

[Bettie]

63. I can see her as president eventually

I hope that she keeps that passion! She is amazing!

[eissa]

25. We're lucky to have AOC

That woman is sharp, glad she defended Liz against that ridiculous comment.

[LAS14]

27. K & R

[paleotn]

29. Not a good look my ass....

You tell them, AOC. Why the hell are we still dealing with that old crap about women who are assertive are being shrill? Jesus folks. it's the goddamn 21st century. Bust 'em in the chops, Elizabeth!!

[polichick]

30. AMEN!

[Kurt V.]

31. the thing that bothered me was the beltway print media dems calling her jen in the

Replys. carlin is eternally right.

[renate]

32. I've been disappointed by SO many of Bernie's surrogates... not this time! This was classy

Nina Turner, Jeff Weaver, et al, watch and learn from AOC.

[Dukkha]

33. Same old double standard

The president is the textbook definition of a curmudgeon. A nasty bitter mean old bully who relished in childish name calling. Always gets a free pass in the media and his cult calls him a "counterpuncher"
Senator Warren shows strength of character and leadership and she's portrayed as mean or with anger issues.
Where have we seen this before? When another female candidate was called a "nasty woman" for standing up to a childish bully.

[suilebhan]

34. Sometimes Never-Trumpers just need to sit down and shut it.

AOC is absolutely right. Anger is an appropriate response to injustice. And, even if it gives Never-Trumpers like Rubin the willies, it is definitely appropriate when Plutocrats are trying to take it all, including and especially the Presidency.

Righteously angry Senator Warren is a great look.

[ibegurpard]

35. Love AOC

Love Warren. And love Bernie too.

[Aussie105]

36. Mean and angry

are negative accusations you throw at people who say things you don't want to hear.

Warren was strong and assertive, throwing well deserved critical questions and considered opinions.

I saw the strength of a Maggie Thatcher, the conviction of an Obama that the most important thing is the greater good for people of the country, and not just selling oneself as leadership potential.

All positives in my book.

[oldsoftie]

39. Brace for impact............

[Zolorp]

40. I have every right to support any primary opponent in any race.

But you're right.

They swarm.

[Autumn]

38. That Rubin is a real piece of work. I started to read her twitter feed today, I'm seeing a lot

of her talking points posted.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

42. Rubin has returned to being a Repugnant.

[hangaleft]

44. I love AOC more with each passing day

[lostnfound]

46. Makes me want to live a long life, to be able to see AOC inaugurated... nt

[Ackoto]

48. they're not calling her a snake anymore

That's an improvement.

[krissey]

52. Good for AOC. Thanks.

[Ferrets are Cool]

53. K and R

[tblue37]

54. K&R for visibility. nt

[tulipsandroses]

55. Thank you AOC! Liz kicked ass. I loved it. I did not find her angry. And even if she was ,

Righteous anger is a good thing.

[eissa]

58. What about Pete?

He attacked Amy all night, repeatedly interrupted her, and questioned her intelligence. Why hasn’t Rubin or anyone else described him as “mean”?

[lark]

64. Perfect response by AOC.

I really like her, she is so smart and knows how to make perfect responses.

[BlueMTexpat]

65. Thanks for posting, Heartstrings!

Here's a Newsweek article about this.

AOC RESPONDS AFTER CONSERVATIVE CALLS ELIZABETH WARREN 'MEAN AND ANGRY': 'ANGER AT INJUSTICE IS QUITE
APPROPRIATE'

https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-responds-after-conservative-calls-elizabeth-warren-mean-angry-anger-injustice-quite-1488331

I wish that AOC would see that her true spirit candidate is Warren.

[myohmy2]

66. +1

...

[Nitram]

67. Thank you AOC. 100% right.

[Lulu KC]

69. Mommy issues strike again.

Daddy can get mad and people feel protected.
Mommy gets mad and people feel scared.
She is being protective of the vulnerable.
Why is this so hard?

[LiberalFighter]

71. Being a mouse like Susan Collins is soooo much better
