Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib Blame Speaker Pelosi for Attacks and Death Threats

Pelosi's gonna tank their party in 2020-2024 just to rid it of these people.

Cortez probably doesn't even want another term, she's probably aiming for a job at CNN.

And we have a new chant: When Trump began attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar, the crowd began shouting, “SEND HER BACK! SEND HER BACK!”

Like a race to the bottom.

The video in the article is great!

She should​ be sent back...to Minnesota...to find another line of work

One of the more surreal things I have seen in a supposedly modern America. Pretty vile.

Do you think that's where Trump and the crowd were talking about sending her back?

 

[Mongo59]

They keep talking about "women of color", so what internationally designated color do we have for stupid?

Veto in 5...4...3...

Regarding the chant... it's being spun inaccurately already:

Trump did not encourage, or lead, or join in... on this chant. It was created from the audience.

The truth doesn't matter - only TDS matters.

Omar's marriage situation is likely to get a spotlight here very soon. Investigative reporters are claiming to have "smoking gun" evidence of something. Not sure if there's anything actually "illegal", might just be embarrassing or something.

I doubt it, just a poor attempt at humor. I wish Trump would lay off the controversial tweets, but he’s president and I’m not. We’ll see if it works out for him in 2020, who can say these days!

 

[nonobaddog]

Trump could tweet "Mary had a little lamb" and the dumocraps would twist it into something that they could get all butt hurt over to make themselves look useful to their sheep with terminal TDS.

She appears to have had a marriage of convenience to her brother, I'm not clear on the rationale for it other than she was under the age of majority in MN and it may have given her more freedom to act. The embarrassing but possibly not illegal part is the man she is currently married to fathered a couple of children with her while she was technically married to her brother. Possible illegalities attend how she ended the marriage to her brother, in that she made sworn statements before a court that she had not seen him or heard from him in a period of years and could not locate him but appears to have been in social media contact with him the whole time

So, not a devout muslim and probably not unimpeachable

Ahh, didn't know how far it went. Might be interesting to see play out, if the media bothers to touch on it.

Trump disavows “send her back” chant at his rally last night: "I was not happy with it. I disagree with it."

Asked if he would stop the "send her back" chant if it comes up again at a future rally, "I will try. I will certainly try," he said. And he repeated that he didn't like the chant and tried to bring it to an end by resuming his speech quickly.

 

[bwframe]

Maybe it was the Jewish folks in the rally crowd chanting to send her back?

A candidate for congress

We don’t have two parties in the United States.

We have the Democratic Party and a white supremacy cult, built on the ashes of the GOP and hellbent on a second civil war.

That doesn’t give me any joy to say - but as leaders we have to be able to speak difficult truths.

She's so brave

His comment was open to interpretation. One of those interpretations is racist. I am completely confident he did so by design.

Of course you're confident. You believe the interpretation which confirms what you think already.
