Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, two high-profile freshmen Democrats who engender intense emotions on the right, each spoke out Wednesday about how efforts to vilify them have made them a target of death threats. Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who has become Republicans´ preferred foil, responded on Twitter to a fundraising email solicitation from the Ohio Federation of College Republicans with the subject line: "AOC is a domestic terrorist." Dave Levinthal, the federal politics editor at the Center for Public Integrity, shared it on Twitter and noted that the term was "often reserved for the likes of Timothy

Cry me a river WaPo. How about death threats republicans get on a daily basis? How about attempted murder of a republican congressman?

Someone tell them that they started it. They can end it by stopping the offensive retoric that they spout every time they are in front of a camera. Why is it that they can call people names but no one can can criticize them without being called a racist?

I think it was Pelosi.
These two are fountains of Republican advertising of what the liberals espouse.
Where else can you get ´sound bites´ daily that are so stupid, onerous, socialist, etc. to use??

If they are getting threats, they deserve them. More likely a hoax / publicity stunt. You reap what you sow and they certainly are haters of those who don´t agree with them.

Gee. If I said 9/11 was just some guys doing something and not a terrorist attack - I would probably have to go into hiding.

This brings to mind Omar’s description of 9/11, “some people did something.” I guess some people are making phone calls. Nothing for OAC and Omar to get excited about.

Willing to bet everybody in Congress receives death threats. Might that be because they all do such lousy jobs? 90% of Congress probably should be kicked out. These people are ignorant, stupid, arrogant, incompetent, rude, vicious, dishonest, corrupt, and tyrannical.
The simple truth is Occasionally-Cognizant and the Muslim Sisterhood (Omar and Tlaib) have no business representing anyone.

As opposed to being shot and almost killed, like Steve Scalese? In any case, I not only would not trust AOC´s comments, but am also sure that our own Frequent Flyer (as opposed to the train) has enough extra tax payer protection around her to allow her to dance for the Press with equanimity.

#2 Attempted murder of several Republican Congressman and the shooting of congressman, an officer, a congressional aide and a citizen. If this were the Democrats baseball team it would still be headline news everywhere. This was a Guy Fawkes level event - and they still still remember.
Ask Maxine how all this got so out of hand, she can tell you.

O´Crazio and the militant muslim are seeing shadows in corners and have kinks in their necks from looking over their shoulders. If they kept their stupid mouths shut they would live a lot easier.

One of their tactics is to reverse the photo to make them the victim. If they rob a bank its the governments fault for not allowing them to be rich. They kill someone, they are the victim because the victim caused them to be killed. Total BS. Oh poor me.

Everyone in public life receives threats and abusive mail. When you are an illiterate, jejune, prejudiced, arrogant, obnoxious anatomical orifice the threats are enhanced. As Harry Truman used to say: If you can´t stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

FYI...When targeting a big mouth, adjust your aim to allow for all the hot-air these two are spewing.
Note to Omar...your brother/husband called, he wants to "get down tonight".
Note to AOC...your constituents called, they would like to know if you are living in their district, (as required by law)

I don´t want either of them harmed in any way. What I do want is that the American public laugh at their stupidity each and every day until they either quit Congress or are driven out by their constituents. Alinsky said that the ultimate recourse against an adversary was to laugh and humiliate them. Bobby Kennedy said that "revenge is a recipe best served cold."

The three lady stooges are getting very tiresome and they have only been in Congress for about 100 days so far. I wonder how long Nancy Pelosi will endure these idiots.
The fact is - they are a gift to the GOP and to Trump for the upcoming 2020 elections. Trump is smart enough to utilize it, but whether the GOP is able to use it against the Democrats remains to be seen.

I´m going to assume that AOC and Omar either called in the threats to each other from phone booths or had their staffs do it, if it happened at all. I don´t believe a thing either one of these dangerous children say.
