Once again, attacking Democrats instead of Republicans mcar Jun 2021 #2

No. This is an attack on Democrats StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #7

So We Can't Attack The Goops wellst0nev0ter Jun 2021 #12

I do see something wrong with this picture. StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #16

Good, then you can read that AOC wasn't attacking Dems wellst0nev0ter Jun 2021 #17

You don't know what "punk" means, do you? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #18

In all fairness gab13by13 Jun 2021 #25

Punking people is bad wellst0nev0ter Jun 2021 #34

Yeah but that's not what she said EarlG Jun 2021 #41

Saying someone "got punked" is an insult StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #46

"Who could have possibly predicted..." is a sarcastic turn of phrase meaning..... George II Jun 2021 #66

I am pretty sure Earl G knows what the expression means n/t ChubbyStar Jun 2021 #71

I understand what you're saying, but EarlG Jun 2021 #72

That's the way I see it too. Looking at it objectively it's obvious. George II Jun 2021 #76

I read it fine the first time, thanks mcar Jun 2021 #43

You need to take the word "punked" out of your OP headline. That's your word not AOC's. brush Jun 2021 #53

It's an attack on Democrats, implying that they don't know how/can't/are gullible in negotiations. George II Jun 2021 #58

It seems to me this tweet can be taken in more than one way. GoodRaisin Jun 2021 #91

If only President Biden, Leader Schumer, and Speaker Pelosi were as savvy as AOC StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #4

We still had to make them an offer Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Jun 2021 #8

Tell that to AOC StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #11

Where did she say that? gab13by13 Jun 2021 #26

That's exactly what the Dems re proposing wryter2000 Jun 2021 #49

They'll block the other bill. paleotn Jun 2021 #67

Bingo! wryter2000 Jun 2021 #75

True, but that isn't wat she was saying. nt Gore1FL Jun 2021 #63

AOC bdamomma Jun 2021 #6

Yes. She knows more than President Biden and the leadership about how this should be done StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #10

Rereading her tweet, AOC isn't the one who used the word "punked." pnwmom Jun 2021 #23

The whole "Who would have guessed ... Especially after the 1/6 commission" tone StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #44

Granted, but that doesn't mean she's wrong on this. paleotn Jun 2021 #28

Of course, she knows more than Pelosi and Biden wryter2000 Jun 2021 #50

She has declared more than once that Democrats need new leadership. No recommendations.... George II Jun 2021 #70

Careful AOC, you'll upset the cheerleaders. jalan48 Jun 2021 #9

Why bash AOC? What? For sport??? Eyeball_Kid Jun 2021 #39

Unfortunately ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #83

I think the reason many here on DU are triggered by AOC is not because she is a woman of color jalan48 Jun 2021 #90

So it's because ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #92

No-it's because a Bernie Sanders organizer beat an establishment Democrat. There was and still are jalan48 Jun 2021 #93
