AOC responds to Team Mitch incels groping photo

Hey
@senatemajldr
- these young men look like they work for you.

Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?

Thanks.





“Team Mitch” was trending a couple hours ago

Guilty until gone. But not guilty until proven innocent.

The video would have suggested non-touching behavior. At the time, I estimated 12-15 inches away.

Regardless it was enough to get him booted.

Not sure how to take your response. I was not supporting these white pricks, just saying that action is welcome in Evilgelical cults. And, they "are" in government. The presidency, rape and female abuse is trump. And guess who loves him and claims God sent him?

Groping cardboard cut-outs isn’t illegal.

The proper response would be to let the world know all their names, so that they spend their lives employed as night stockers at Walmart and marry undesirable women.

Shunning by society, academia and employers is the correct punishment for these assholes. Bring the legal system in and they become heroes. Better they wind up in a dead-end job with an ugly wife and four or five bratty kids.

political event that HE could control is itself extremely damning.

People who imagine Democrats could have done anything to persuade Moscow Mitch to pass gun control legislation through the senate should take a goood look at just what this says about him. And the rest of their leadership. It's clear they'll now do anything to keep power, and includes inciting RW extremist violence.

Notably, 94% of all domestic American terrorist attacks have been committed by non-Muslim RW extremists, the very kind of people Trump AND Mitch are inciting to violence against Democrats. (2% by Muslims, 2% by LW extremists.) These are federal figures and don't include hate crime perps that don't meet the definition of terrorism, but they're very indicative.

Btw, anyone listening to Fox? I saw one clip criticizing Trump, but any sign that they've actually joined him in trolling for violence yet? Beyond the typical fascistic Piro calls to take to the streets and storm congress and the courts.
