But I call bull on those senators. What about the lives of their Nazi-targeted constituents. I have little sympathy for them. You think AOC doesn't get threats? For all the Alpha Male posing on the right, they sure are fucking punks when they have body guards and the FBI at their disposal.

I think they fake fear out of cowardice in revealing that they are all for the bigoted attack.
