AOC fires back at Trump: 'You cannot accept that we don't fear you'

“Mr. President, the country I ‘come from,’ & the country we all swear to, is the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said. “On top of not accepting an America that elected us, you cannot accept that we don’t fear you, either. You can’t accept that we will call your bluff & offer a positive vision for this country. And that’s what makes you seethe.”

She added, “You are angry because you don’t believe in an America where I represent New York 14, where the good people of Minnesota elected @IlhanMN, where @RashidaTlaib fights for Michigan families, where @AyannaPressley champions little girls in Boston. …You rely on a frightened America for your plunder.”

Her response Sunday afternoon was prompted by comments from Mr. Trump, also on Twitter, that she and the other first-term progressive women feuding with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should go back to the dysfunctional countries “from which they came” instead of criticizing the U.S.

20. Is that a reference to trump/epstein's private planes or of something else?

I haven't heard anything about that.

[rainy]

21. Many of our great democrats and

visionaries have had untimely deaths and quite a few by small airplanes 😟 seems suspicious!

[DENVERPOPS]

24. It's a joke, but not funny

Many witnesses, key people, etc have "Died" in private aircraft that for some odd reason dropped out of the sky........

[Beartracks]

2. "from which they came"

Weird. Did Trump actually tweet that grammatically correct phrase?

6. It's certainly Trump's sentiment. But I'm betting Miller edited it. nt

4. Charles Pierce in Esquire...

"Right now, at this very moment, the United States government is committing crimes against humanity on its southern border at the command of a certifiable vulgar talking yam. The opposition party controls exactly one center of power in the tripartite government and two seats—occasionally, three—on the Supreme Court. And under the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives has chosen to do precisely squat about the situation, choosing instead to pick a fight with its youngest and most charismatic members who, by the way, are pretty much the only members of the House who have gone to see the atrocities first hand."

snip

"The real irony is that, when the Democrats took over the House in 2018, it wasn't these people who threatened Pelosi's speakership most seriously. It was the Tim Ryan-Seth Moulton crew, most of whom thought Pelosi was too far left for Ordinary Americans. Moreover, it was that same bunch who threatened to mutiny over the border security bill if the House didn't approve the Senate's more draconian measures. In addition, the same people on whom Pelosi is doing her drive-by's are under constant assault from the right-wing media apparatus. AOC drives them bughouse and, the other night on Fox, Tucker Carlson went on a rant about Omar that belonged on a Stormfront podcast, or on a short-wave set in the forests of Upper Michigan."

It's like a contest who is going to bring down AOC first.

[questionseverything]

19. Why can't the Hague

Why can't the Hague prosecute this entire administration in abstentia, and convict them of crimes against humanity.

At least that way, none of these assholes would dare step a foot in a ton of countries without being legally arrested and sent to the Hague.....

[llmart]

5. Love this young woman.

She is going far in her life and she will accomplish plenty. She has the fire and the passion and the smarts. She nailed it on the head with her assessment of the Dump.
