Did anyone else just see @AOC completely dismantle nine minutes of Trump’s racist rambling in about 30 seconds on @maddow?

Damn 👏🙌🇺🇸

IMHO she needs to moderate the plea to demolish ICE because it feeds the Republican argument the Democrats favor open boarders. ICE needs to be completely rebuilt, but there has to be some force of that nature.

Other than that, she was spot-on and persuasive.

I was going to but didn't feel like dealing with the subtle shade always thrown at this woman on this board. She inspires me so much and to see her belittled on a Democratic board is disheartening.

Hopefully Whoopi Goldberg was watching.

And she holds true to the Democratic platform. Given her charismatic and effective method of calling the GOP idiots before a national audience, my earlier concerns about her were wrong wrong, wrong wrong.
