AOC to Ted Cruz: "You almost had me murdered."

Blue Donkey said:
Facts are not subjective. A death threat against AOC was posted on Twitter, by a rattlesnake worshiper. With that proof found, do you really think she had no reason to get mad at Ted Cruz?

So every time a person who voted for a democrat does something illegal that democrat is to blame. Ok. I will remember that. Seems pretty idiotic but ok.

Fueling the fire leads to much unity, ey? I almost thought AOC would be above it all, but....

Lets just ignore what happened and sweep it under the rug, it totally wont fester and eventually become an even bigger issue.

The whining about unity is why Biden is dipshit for pushing it.

Because all of a sudden people start complaining that any sort of justified criticism of the right is a divisive, but talking up baseless mass election fraud that led to the capitol storming some how wasn't a problem.

And yet she refused to do just that based on an arbitrary and false claim of victimization. She was not almost assassinated in DC. Cruz didn't try to goad anyone into assassinating her.

Lol he was goading the insurrectionists. Not hard to put two and two together.

How about you Google the Hodgkinson congressional shooting.
maybe you should learn a bit more about the world around you before acting like you know so much.

Somehow the Dems weren't responsible for literally attempted assassination of multiple GOP senators at a baseball game, but somehow Cruz is responsible for a gaggle of idiots in Washington.

Only a republican would call giving money to people that need it most "burning" it.

The federal government can massively increase its deficit right now - even more than Trump did ! - without any consequence. There is zero legitimate reason to not give people money. Republicans are terrified of the general population learning about the government's ability to give money out without consequence. That's the only reason they oppose it (well, also because they don't care about poor people).

How much of the $1.9 T package is 'giving people money'?

Nah, they were just peaceful protesters exercising their constitutional rights.

And you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to use the incident to score jabs here.

Cruz had nothing to do with the riot

First, I'm simply stating facts. You've confused facts as "spin" before. Anyhoo, lets see if we can find some common ground (without you cutting and running like last time). Do you agree that AOC's life was in danger? It was but I wonder if you know it or can admit it because I've seen the fox crew mocking her for saying it.

And how far back does this "without justice" go? Because Hillary Clinton engaged in behaviors that would have gotten anyone else put in jail with her server nonsense. Or How about Bush and his nonsense? Or Bill Clinton?

Tell us how far back we have to go when it comes to "big lies" and parties cleaning up their act? Oh, it doesn't matter. The GOP has repeatedly reached out to the left and gotten rebuffed based on arbitrary and made up excuses so I guess it's more rhetorical of a question. There can be no "reaching out" with leftists.

Lol the GOP elected a guy who was full willing to initiate the longest government shutdown in history just for his dumbass wall. Thats not reaching out.
 
dcsports said:
Really? Republicans have been begging Democrats to work with them on a relief package since before the election. It's Democrats who refused to negotiate in good faith, consistently. We just had an emergency relief package passed.

This package is HUGE - It's not that Republicans don't want to negotiate, it's that there is too much in this package. We can't keep burning money.

oh DC, try to stick posting lying conservative narratives that are at least thread related. Democrats passed a 2.2 trillion dollar stimulus Oct 2. They were negotiating with trump. Trump actually agreed with it. Now this is going to be hard for you accept but the whole time, the senate was balking at the cost and offered a 500 billion dollar compromise. You just dont get to ignore the house negotiating with the president when the senate was not going to pass anything close. and the only reason McConnel moved off his ridiculous total was the runoff in Ga. You need to stop listening to liars so you can put America first.

The important point in my post that you seemed to miss is that there is zero problem with the government massively increasing the deficit to address this crisis. There would be zero negative impact to it. There won't be hyperinflation and rates won't spike. Republicans love spending when they're in office then whining about it when they're not.

Pence was also in danger, they were calling for his execution as well, but those on the Right are SO fixated on AOC, that when a couple of years back a video surfaced of her dancing on a rooftop the Right went crazy and ridiculed her for her dancing. At the time I thought to myself "WFT? Have my southern brethren completely lost their marbles?"
AOC, like Pelosi, make a convenient target, but remind them that Pence was also a target and you will get one of two reactions: "fake news" or "he deserves it."

lol. Really now.

No, AOC's life wasn't in any more danger than the other congressmen. She specifically is getting this from a tweet (which was stupid), to which she responded with childish tweets of her own.

The disconnect is trying to draw a line to Ted Cruz, who had nothing to do with the riot or security failure.
 
How about the losing side tries to compromise with the winning side and try to understand them instead of the other way around? That would be a great show of unity with the majority of Americans and the world.

I ignored the stupid part. Yes. To suggest there is not, or will not be, a negative impact to adding massive amounts to the debt is silly.

Democrats were not responsible for something they never even tried to do.

Republicans are totally responsible for five deaths (including a Capitol police officer), countless injuries (including 50 officers or security guards), broken windows in their own workplace, and a ton of other illegal activity.

Exactly why should AOC not be mad at one of the people who was involved in this stupid crap?

No, it's just rational. Republicans can whine about inflation and interest rates all they want but, just like everything else they believe, it has no basis in objective reality.

I'm not seeing where you acknowledge her life was in danger. She and Pelosi are constantly vilified daily by your conservative masters because as we know, fascism cant stand on its own merits so it needs "enemies". And to ignore a murderous mobbed egged on by trump and his toadies to say "she got this info from a tweet" is pathetic even by your standards. And a line can be drawn to Ted cruz. But in your world, her life wasnt in danger. magic presto.
