Then it belongs to Sharice Davids as well who, as a Native American, her ancestors were here long before AOC's or the 'squads'.


As the 'squad stood there and talked about the the racists slurs from this President not one of them mentioned the racist slurs from AOC's Chief of Staff.










He deleted most of his ugly post, yet screen shots are alive and well. Seems to me they only wish to hold some people accountable.

And after yesterday’s racist attack from Trump, people here continuing the partisan sniping should think about who the enemy is and what the threat is.

Unbelievable that people are trying to shit on a statement like this.

That anyone could watch that clip and hear those words and then feel compelled to attack it. It's just...it's just unbelievable.

Not in the mood. Sorry.

But if you want to know what I think, what I think is this: This is ugly and you should stop.

It's incredibly offensive and just plain wrong to try to use this to pick (or continue) some kind of fight.

It's wrong and you should stop. That's it. That's all I'm going to say.

I stand for all women and any WOC that is called a racist or a racist enabler. I am appalled that many have no outrage that a Democratic COS called Sharice Davids a racist enabler. Fact is when we want to hold a Repub accountable and forgive a Democrat then we are no better than they are.

Please! We are so much better than this.
