AOC Calls on Members of Congress to Respond to Trump's 'Explicit Attack' on Ilhan Omar

[Soph0571]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called on members of Congress to respond to President Donald Trump‘s ‘explicit’ attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar on Friday night.

“Members of Congress have a duty to respond to the President’s explicit attack today,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “[ Omar’s] life is in danger. For our colleagues to be silent is to be complicit in the outright, dangerous targeting of a member of Congress. We must speak out.”

AOC was referring to a tweeted out video that interspersed Omar’s words with images of 9/11.

1. It's also time for someone to put together commercial about the gross ghoulish

comments made by The Moron reg. Sept. 11. About how he lied, yet again, saying he gave all this money. Even profiting by defrauding the government.

2. "First they came..."

And of course, the first thing too many of the rest of us then do - is forget that sorrowful lesson.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

6. Amen! They live and breath in lies and hate.

7. Is anyone else getting frustrated

Congress will do something. They will make condeming statements when Rep. Omar is attacked by some hate filled MAGA.

9. I can't even see frustrated in the rear-view mirror anymore. nt

8. Where are the Democratic leaders?

If anyone has the temerity to insult that infected human pustule in the White House, the gop traitors lock step in his defense.

This is an outrage. Where are our Democratic leaders?

When someone is harmed then we'll all hear about how we should have done more - once again.

13. Good question. Looks like it falls to the "radical" freshmen. AOC is right.

[DirtEdonE]

18. Yep. The "radical" freshpersons who would have been moderates in the 60s

This is how far right we've been dragged. Our moderates now look like radicals while their batshit crazy radicals are considered middle of the road.

10. What did he say? nt

14. Trump's tweet

11. Is the Dem leadership just as locked on revenge

as Trump? Do they dislike the woman enough to let Trump invade our hard fought stronghold to take down a voting member right in front of them?

Even the atrocious GOP will turn out enmasse to rally around their fallen brother, no matter what despicable act he has done. Can our party not find some cominality to unite against Trump's petty attack on one of their own?

12. good for AOC...

...but I bet they won't do it...

...gotta keep that powder dry...

...crickets...

15. she makes a great point, as always.........

The House quickly passed an "anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim discrimination" resolution just a few days after Omar was labeled an anit-semite for questioning the influence of an Israeli lobbying group over the GOP. A resolution SHE VOTED FOR, by the way.

Why are we not making a similar move for a resolution denouncing drumpf's actions, as we do for our own Democrat reps?

17. Spineless

and worried about getting re-elected.


We cannot be wishy washy, we need to be brave and courageous and fight for what is right, what is humane. The time is now.
