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

Comments:

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.

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.

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.

Virginia Senate rejects
'assault weapon' ban
17 replies
Posted by PChristopher 2/17/2020 9:53:04 AM Post Reply
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's push to ban the sale of assault weapons has failed after members of his own party balked at the proposal. Senators voted to shelve the bill for the year and ask the state crime commission to study the issue, an outcome that drew cheers from a committee room packed with gun advocates. Four moderate Democrats joined Republicans in Monday's committee vote, rejecting legislation that would have prohibited the sale of certain semiautomatic firearms, including popular AR-15 style rifles, and banned the possession of magazines that hold more than 12 rounds.

Democrats already have lined up possible charges if they choose to pursue impeachment 2.0. Still pending is a wide-open probe launched by Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat. Mr. Schiff has been investigating President Trump, his family and businesses, the Trump Organization, over the congressman’s suspicions of blackmail, money laundering and bribery. Republican staffers say the inquiry was put on hold last fall pending the Ukraine impeachment proceedings led by Mr. Schiff. But there is no sign Mr. Schiff has given up trying to prove Mr. Trump is corrupt, and if the president is impeached again, the charges would likely

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
