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

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

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

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

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
