Talk about totally blowing a softball question!

Just some advice to Mr. Yang, the correct answer for any candidate in New York is “Empire State of Mind”.

And to those who just read the tweet and didn't watch the video. Yang brought up that he listened to Jay Z, and then couldn't name a single Jay Z song.

AOC vs MTG

From the Washington Post:

Rep. Greene aggressively confronts Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, causing New York congresswoman to raise security concerns

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday and falsely accused her of supporting “terrorists,” leading the New York congresswoman’s office to call on leadership to ensure that Congress remains “a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.”
Two Washington Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) exit the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene (Ga.), who shouted “Hey Alexandria” twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them “terrorist” groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her “radical socialist” beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia.
“You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted. “Why do you support terrorists and antifa?”
Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the New York congresswoman said, and her office declined to discuss her specific response.
“Representative Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and when Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer,” Ocasio-Cortez spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement. “We hope leadership and the Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff — especially as many offices are discussing reopening. One Member has already been forced to relocate her office due to Congresswoman Greene’s attacks.”

Is there anything more pathetic than a Trump supporter

who still is flying their 'Trump 2020' flag or still has their Trump lawn signs up in their yard? The election is over, accept reality.

You don't see any Dems who still have Sanders or Warren yard signs up. We have learned to move on.

If Trump disappeared tomorrow, the GOP wouldn't change one bit

Mitch McConnell would still be in the Senate obstructing. FOX News and RW radio would still be spewing lies. State and local republicans would still be gerrymandering and writing laws to make it harder for people of color to vote.

Why? Because they were doing all this before Trump ever ran for office.

Trump didn't create the current Republican party. He hijacked what they have been building for the last 30-40 years.

Dick Cheney was often referred to as Darth Vader

He even dressed up as Vader on The Tonight Show.

So if Dick Cheney was Darth does that make Liz Princess Leia???
