Ocasio-Cortez calls out White House aides reportedly 'horrified' by Trump conduct: 'History will...

...judge them by what they did. And the answer is nothing’

In response to a Washington Post story reporting that—according to anonymous former and current officials—aides to President Donald Trump have been “genuinely horrified” by his calls with foreign leaders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Friday night that the concerns of White House officials are meaningless without accompanying action.

With respect to the betrayal of our country, it doesn’t matter much how these aides felt.

History will judge them by what they did.

And the answer is nothing.

Indeed, history will not be kind.
Also if I was working for this administration at this point I would be planning my retirement as I cannot see how you would ever again find gainful employment.

I think history will judge them more for what they did not do rather than what they did.

Some of these administration officials and underlings will have to make a choice.

“Do you want to be a witness or a defendant?”

That’s what it’s probably coming to.
