AN IMMATURE LITTLE CHILD – OVERNIGHT: AOC, who is perpetually up past her bedtime, has now issued another judgment, which will no doubt ignite the "progressives" among us. My excitement builds. From Fox:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. scorched her Republican colleagues on Capitol Hill Wednesday, accusing them of sympathizing with White supremacists and alleging that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is beholden to QAnon conspiracy theorists.
During an appearance on MSNBC, the Democratic "Squad" member was asked about the "nature" of the GOP caucus that she works alongside with following the deadly riot on Jan. 6. She began by pointing out a "profound difference" between the GOP caucus in the current Congress and the one from the previous Congress.
"That difference was that it really felt that last term, the Republican caucus was one of extreme fealty to Donald Trump," Ocasio-Cortez told host Chris Hayes. "There were some that were true believers, others that simply remained quiet out of cowardice and out of fear of the president's retribution."
"But this term, there are legitimate White supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives. And if you see someone like the House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, of the Republican Party respond to White supremacist vitriol coming from his own members, not with censure like they did with Representative Steve King of Iowa, not with, you know, being stripped of committees, not with any consequence, you have to wonder who actually has that power. And it increasingly seems, unfortunately, that in the House Republican Caucus, Kevin McCarthy answers to these QAnon members of Congress, not the other way around. And that is something, frankly, that needs to be said."
COMMENT: Yes, we've seen how Congresswoman AOC responds to the vitriol and sheer hatred coming from her side, like the vile anti-American and anti-Semitic remarks made by her pal, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. What you hear is AOC's silence.
AOC is an example of the new McCarthyism, the McCarthyism of the left. Destroy people's reputations, threaten others with "cancellation," try to drive conservative voices out of society. Hey, what's the problem?
Remember that the 2022 elections are less than two years away. The campaigns will start in one year. We have work ahead.
