I mean just look at these quotes, really just hateful. You'd have to be living in a social media left wing bubble to not recognize how vile and hateful this is:


    REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Yeah no I think it really kind of takes me back to what I learned about in grade school about, I think about Ruby Bridges and I think about this time when people who advocated for the most vulnerable were called anti-American. And I think about the fact that when people say this is not America, I think that America has always been a story and America has always been about the triumph of people who fight for everyone versus those who want to preserve rights for just a select few. And there is no bottom to the barrel of vitriol that will be used and weaponized to stifle those who want to advance rights for all people in the United States.

    REP. AYANNA PRESSLEY : Gayle, and that's what I want us to, that's what I want to focus on. I just want to say this. I am heartened, and we all are, encouraged and grateful for the solidarity that that has been offered by our colleagues, by our neighbors, and by a people representing every walk of life since this happened, but I do feel that I'm sort of sitting from a place of privilege that we can have this level of focus and attention about hateful tweets in the context of, you know, Eric Garner's mother today did not get justice from this Department of Justice.


    REP. RASHIDA TLAIB : And I can tell you personally, I mean as soon as I heard that, it wasn't really about us. I thought to myself, immediately I wanted to, and I put a video out, telling all of the residents, all of the residents of the thirteenth Congressional district that believed in me, somebody like myself to serve them in the Congress- in Congress, I wanted them to know they belonged.

    REP. ILHAN OMAR: Yes! I mean that nothing I said, at least to me, was meant for that purpose. And- and I have taken I think every single opportunity I've gotten to make sure that people understand that my work and one of my responsibilities is to make sure that we are dealing with the issue of anti-Semitism. That as I fight hard to deal with Islamophobia that I am going to do the same thing because I understand that both of our communities are under threat with white supremacy.

    REP. RASHIDA TLAIB : I like to think about growing and nurturing and loving

    REP. ILHAN OMAR: And then what we wanna do is we want to build a system that works for all of us. We want to make sure that we have an opportunity um to ah be in relationships with one another. We do want to create a system that is of the people, for the people. Many of the policies that we advocate, whether it is Medicare for all, or cancelling out student debt, or dealing with our climate crisis, most of those policies poll at 70 percent plus.
    I hate Stupidity, Willful Ignorance and Hypocrisy. I'm a hateful,Vile spewing Virtue signalling, Progressive in a Left Winged Bubble (Good name for a band).

    BUt that's ok cuz I'm also a Padre fan, so things are looking up en?

      The part about growing and nurturing and loving is a such a dog-whistle. I think we all know what it really means.

          You keep calling Trump names--racist, sexist, homophobic, incompetent, etc. It's all a transference of yourself and the reality is shown in these four racist, sexist, homophobic, incompetent, etc. women.

              This is possibly the dumbest thing you've ever written. Which actually means it might crack the top 100.

                Pick a quote from the 33-minute interview with four of them, a direct quote from a presser, or quote link a tweet, otherwise as Slasher said stop spewing your nonsense on these 4 women. You can disagree with all their positions but they are representing 4 very left-leaning districts and their positions reflect their electorate.

                  First of all, I don't waste my time calling out Trump, because it is so obvious that there is no need. But damn, this has to be the most delusional post I've ever seen on RJ . The squad are racist, sexist and homophobic. Holy Shit. I'm sure JJ will jump in to give you a high five any minute now.

                      Yeah, when a troll goes too far, it reveals the act as just trolling. 1jay sometimes walks the line so well many of us forget he is just trolling. But he really tipped his hand too much on this one.

                      • Fine. Don't believe me. Those four are the face of the Democratic party right now, for better or worse.

                        I say worse. There is nothing inviting or welcoming about any of them. Quite the opposite.

                        We will put it to the test in 16 months. Is that proof enough?

                          you claimed they are vile, hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic. I'll say it for about the one hundredth time. Provide some evidence for your claims. We all know you won't, so I guess that is why you want to switch to something 16 months in the future.

                              He can't provide the evidence because it's not there and he just made up the accusations. As if it's not clear enough by his lack of response, anyone who spends 15 minutes reading their twitter pages or interviews can see that his claim is absurd. Or alternatively IJ is speaking the truth and I live in a social media bubble.
