How can Blinken suppress her first amendment right to speak? SouthernCal_Dem Nov 2020 #1
"Strange" response indeed for a Sec of State. nt Hortensis Nov 2020 #59
And what makes her think he would attempt to stop her first amendment rights. because he is Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #67
We can only guess... but that certainly sounds like a reasonable and likely guess to me. NurseJackie Nov 2020 #76
Ask her new colleague, viciously antisemitic Marjorie Taylor Greene? Hortensis Nov 2020 #78
Politics making for strange bedfellows...and all of that. tritsofme Nov 2020 #98

All of the "Squad" Need to Learn Sometimes it's Best to Just STFU. Indykatie Nov 2020 #4
Don't include Pressley in that. She's wiser and more mature than the others. brush Nov 2020 #11
I've also rarely, if ever, heard her say something dumb BGBD Nov 2020 #24
I really don't care for the term squad. That term is used to imply they all walk with the same still_one Nov 2020 #46
Yes. Pressley distanced herself long ago, for good reason. Hortensis Nov 2020 #61
She should distance herself from the squad. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #68

Don't forget, she booed Hillary Clinton and laughed about it, and also refused to endorse Biden. George II Nov 2020 #145
I speak out on my hatred of Naziyahoo, but nobody's ever tried to suppress me. nt Progressive Jones Nov 2020 #5
That was the first thing that came to her mind? That he's Jewish? And would oppress her? Hekate Nov 2020 #6

And one self-proven appropriate. For shame, MI-13! Hortensis Nov 2020 #62
She is a Democrat so I won't go there either but I agree. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #70
Wait a second here! Mossfern Nov 2020 #91
Blinken's step father was a survivor of both Auschwitz and Dachau. Disgusting comments by her. George II Nov 2020 #146
After she booed Hillary and bragged about it, I hoped someone would pull... brush Nov 2020 #7
Booed Hillary? BainsBane Nov 2020 #14
Oh, you don't know about that? See the video below. brush Nov 2020 #16

There's a policy difference behind this jcgoldie Nov 2020 #17
Well, then her problem is with Biden BainsBane Nov 2020 #18
Obviously she has a difference of opinion with Biden over this... jcgoldie Nov 2020 #23
None of that dispels my original comment BainsBane Nov 2020 #28
What "people here think" is of her long history of this stuff, Hortensis Nov 2020 #64
Yes, our party should never have a problem like the UK's Labour party Metatron Nov 2020 #112
I'm not supporting it jcgoldie Nov 2020 #120
Good people tend to believe others are like them. nt Hortensis Nov 2020 #131
What does a policy difference have to do with her ridiculous accusation tinged with anti-Semitism? tritsofme Nov 2020 #25
I didnt say it wasnt ridiculous jcgoldie Nov 2020 #29
It is far more fantastical to pretend it is just a strange coincidence. tritsofme Nov 2020 #31

There are no coincidences. This was intentional. NurseJackie Nov 2020 #80
Absolutely. She has been told how it appears, and has not changed or clarified her statement. (nt) ehrnst Nov 2020 #100
Based on that, we can conclude a few different things... NurseJackie Nov 2020 #104
the tie-in to her comments is due to BDS. Blinken and Biden are very much anti-BDS, and Tlaib Celerity Nov 2020 #50
Nope...won't make excuses for her words. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #73
It was deliberate and completely ridiculous. And so clumsy with its lack of ambiguity... NurseJackie Nov 2020 #81
You are absolutely correct Jackie. I am disgusted honestly. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #85
You said it. I wanted to and deleted, but yes plain and simple, LizBeth Nov 2020 #27
Yes, the outrageous thing is that he would somehow suppress her first amendment rights, implying still_one Nov 2020 #42
I'd expect our elected representatives to have a better understanding of things like that. NurseJackie Nov 2020 #83

I don't think she ever did... she needs to run again in two years and should consider that fact. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #74
I knew it was tardy, but I thought that surely this had already happened. Well, now... NurseJackie Nov 2020 #84
Yeah, Democrats need to support the the president and his Vice President ...no exceptions. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #89
Disgusting comment. Apparently she doesn't know the difference EllieBC Nov 2020 #37

I think this is in response to Pompeo's BDS decision JonLP24 Nov 2020 #65
She is a Democrat and I support all Democrats, but I don't like her. Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #66
Because of Pompeo and BDS JonLP24 Nov 2020 #72
Why couldn't she say that instead? AmericanCanuck Nov 2020 #102

that is a mis-framing of what the poster said Celerity Nov 2020 #115
If that's what she mean, then why didn't she say it? Or clarify 12+ hours later? NurseJackie Nov 2020 #122
I was referring to the poster mostly, but let me say this about Celerity Nov 2020 #126
