“No Republican — especially Steve King — can force this campaign to stop speaking truth to power. We’ve build a movement that will fight for justice in all of its forms.”
And no Democrats should stop speaking truth to power, either.
Good for her.
I’m SICK AND TIRED of people attacking anyone calling these “detention centers” concentration camps, which is what they are. Even Godwin of Godwin’s Law fame has said so now, responding to Chris Hayes’ recent statement that he will call them “detention centers” because the other term is too loaded.
AOC continues to rack up the victories. YOU GO GIRL!
Since Steve King is an unapologetic racist, there’s no point in inviting him to visit the so-called “detention centers “, so he can see for himself how abysmal the situation is - that his Party caused. So good for AOC for just owning him.
Any chance we can live in a world in which these statements are made for the sake of public discourse and not to try to get me to donate $3 NOW!.
If she keeps up her public presence on really important issues, AOC will be able to raise as much money as she needs when she needs it from regular small donors. Turning politics into a hit the $3 button every time you are freaked out, a political Pavlovian response, is bad for everyone.
Then again if I had $3 for every racist or stupid-ass thing Steve King has said I’d be a Godzillionaire.
I think AOC has been doing that regularly without asking for donations.
Right, so why is this article about how she uses the feud with King to fund raise.
Is she doing it because its the right fight to have or because it is good fundraising. I think it is the former, a few more of these politics as usual gimme $3 and I’ll start to doubt it.
King fundraises off his racism and it gets reported here regularly. It’s what congresscritters do. All of them.
Jeez, give her a break!
I hear what you are saying, but is this the thing you want to get that upset about? Frankly, I don’t know why this is even a story. I get five appeals for money from various Dems everyday at my commerce email address. They all do it. That said, you’re right about the system needing reform!
I get e-mails every day from the DNCC and other democrats pretending to get personal by calling me by my first name… They usually ask my opinion by a multiple choice. In reality they want money. It is insulting they imply that my opinion matters. I be happier if they just mention the dollars first.
Congressman who says he is a practicing Catholic. Who described all Mexican or Central Americans willing to risk their lives because they are yearning to breathe free as Drug Mules with Calves As Big as Canteloups. Finds himself at a disadvantage arguing with a Latina woman who has demonstrated unwillingness to take any shit whatsoever from ignorant goobers like himself.
Why do I keep mixing up Steve King and Louie Gohmert?
I reckon she’s getting the hang of this politics/ fundraising stuff
For the same reason I keep mixing up Mary-Kate and Ashley.
That didn’t take very long, did it?
Good!
Because same shit, different day. Oftentimes same shit, same day, multiple times.
Because, to plagiarize William F. Burroughs for a moment, they are both, proudly, Purple Assed Baboons of the type that has abounded in the Modern Republican Party since the ascendancy of FOX propaganda.
Steve King is not a patriot.
That has such a built-in bias it is not worth the effort to click…
