Ocasio-Cortez on Trump: ‘His Bigotry is Reflective of the White Supremacist Base He Relies On’
2019-10-08
That'd be us, regardless of color or religion.
[CNSNEWS] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
 (D.-N.Y.) sent out at tweet on Saturday accusing President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
 of "bigotry" and stating her belief that this "bigotry" was "reflective" of what she described as the president’s "white supremacist base."

That tweet by Ocasio-Cortez was following up on another she had sent out on Saturday in which she said Trump had "targeted antisemitism towards Chairman [Adam] Schiff." This tweet included a link to an article published by theintercept.com which was headlined "Trump Escalates Anti-Semitic Rhetoric Amid Calls for Impeachment.’"

#15  She is indeed playing with fire.

Once it becomes specific - accusing someone of racist actions that violate, say, the equal protection clause- her shitty language starts to cross over into defamatory speech that's actionable at law.

Talk to the Gibson family in Oberlin, Ohio. They'll tell you where your defamation will land you, princess.

#13  Those are fighting words. They are highly inflammatory and offensive. They are also false, not the least bit logical or well reasoned. You give no evidence to support your claims. You rely on hate, not reason and certainly not reconciliation. Dehumanizing your opponent desensitizes your supporters which encourages them to commit acts of violence and atrocities. These are hateful accusations that you make. Do not be surprised when the hate comes back at you. It is one of the first steps toward war. Think now, very carefully if you can: Do you really want that? Have you given any thought at all to the risks?

#12  Everybody, I see a few of you are still using the term "Racist". Cut that out, it has lost its sting and we figure it'll be a decade before we can start to use it again. The new word is White Supremacists. Got that everybody, white supremacist. We figure this new version will work through the 2020 elections at least, perhaps further. We're still polling possible replacements for after then, top runners are Literally Hitler, genocidist, Literally Trump!, and Orange.

#11  The country chose Trump, so that's his base. Which begs the question - if the entire country is white supremacist what does the political diversity hope to achieve ? Shouldn't they just emigrate to Tahiti with the campaign funds ?

#10  Seems every sort of racist finds a home in the Democrat party. The party of Slavery, Nazi's, Communists, and practitioners of human sacrifice.

#5  If she were the only example of her gene pool, a reasonable person could be expected to be a (insert scare quotes here) W-word S-word.
