1. Love her. She has more courage than the whole Qpublican party.

[Bettie]

10. Smarter than all the Qpublicans put together too

Hey, rurallib....can you give me some encouragement that Iowa isn't as lost a cause as it feels right now, since I recall you are here too!

[Deuxcents]

2. Me,too

She has not forgotten those she represents or their families. I’m so impressed with her. Wish I had the likes of her in my district.

3. K&R for AOC

4. I feel like Asian Americans are one of the unsung victims of this pandemic

So many bigots are crawling out of the woodwork to bash and even physically attack Asian Americans for something they never had a part in. The anger I've seen is pretty similar to what happened after 9/11 with the bigots going after Muslims for the twin tower attacks. It's really aweful. Thanks AOC and others for speaking up for us.

6. Sikhs were also targeted after 9/11.

There were lots of ignorant people who didn't even understand who they were.

7. I bet the same people targeting Asian Americans couldn't be bothered to wear a mask.

It's all about scapegoating.

9. Yeah, my niece has to endure it from other school kids.

School kids can be cruel.

5. She's not afraid to speak up and speak out

She serves all the nations people not just in her district. She is brilliant.

8. It is impossible to forget the days after 911, when Sikhs, among others, were mistaken for Muslims.

Beaten for looking barely anything at all like a Muslim. Just...different.

11. I am sick of white supremacists, a.k.a. MAGAts, a.k.a. Republicans.

12. Bunch of bitter Right Wing assholes replying

bringing up FDR internment , College Admissions and other non issues like how is going on in CHina . And of course it's mostly racist white people doing it.

They can't seem to get the concept of just supporting and defending and calling out a wrong in itself. It always has to come back to how they are victims.
