Popular Post Starkiller Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 In case you haven’t heard about this story, a right wing Republican congressman accosted AOC outside the capital in earshot of reporters and, among other things, called her a “fucking bitch”. He then refused to apologize to her when called out. So AOC went to the floor and pretty much dragged him in public. So at this point it is clear that AOC is so far under Republicans' skin that she is renting space in their heads. And she is pretty much taking no prisoners. The GOP will campaign against her like they used to with Pelosi, but she is crushing them in return. I didn’t give her a lot of credit when she won her seat a couple of years ago, but AOC is way smarter and more capable than anyone expected from her. Like her politics or hate her, she I going to be around for a long time if she wants to be there.

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Right wing media and the GOP wouldn't attack her non stop if they didn't think she was a threat. CreepingDeath, ChemEngr79, Omar, and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They attack her b/c they want to paint all Dems to be far left and she's an easy target and way to do that. It's not about her. oldschool, Justafan, and Starkiller 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about her. Yea she's really been an easy target for the GOP, that's hard to deny. Since she was elected the Dems did poorly in the midterms/other elections, Biden has moved away from progressive ideas, she struggled to win her recent primary and Biden flounders in the polls heading into 2020 election and of course Yoho just got away with calling her a name with no fight back from AOC! GOP might want to find an easier target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOP might want to find an easier target It doesn't matter. The GOP cares about their base. AOC makes it easy for them to rile up their base. They don't hate her as much as they love making sound bites attacking her. You think any of their base heard her response? If they did it was just out of context snippets to make her look worse or farther left to their base. The gop loves AOC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Republicans sure as hell hope she's around for a long time anyway. In the meantime her group will continue going around trying to snipe moderate Democrats in primaries and causing turmoil.

Come on Titans Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 That was a hell of a little speech there. I like her a lot. Ted Yoho is such a douche. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm terrified of her and her small group of allies adversely affecting the Democratic Party and its ability to hold power in the future. I don't think I could ever support her for any office. Extraordinarily naive and extreme left. Edited July 24, 2020 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
