My bad, he only said she was enabling racists. And before you start...saying she enables a "racist system" is calling her a racist.
Davids has also voiced support for Dreamers and, in a political podcast last year, expressed a willingness to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a position typically associated with progressives like Ocasio-Cortez.
Doubling down on his criticism, Chakrabarti added, I dont believe Sharice is a racist person, but her votes are showing her to enable a racist system.
In a public jab at the chief of staff, the House Democrats account posted a screenshot of Chakrabartis old tweet on Friday, asking why he was singling out Davids and telling him to keep her name out of your mouth. The account also accused him of singling out a Native American woman of color.

btw, speaking of the Squad, I recall you were quite fond of Ayanna Pressley back in January.

Oh, melman. Frankly other than being caught up in the so named squad I am still very impressed with her. Was then and am now I don't see her tweeting a dozen times a day. Fact is she is actually is focused on her job and her constituents. She is not from my distinct, yet from MA and I love our representatives here.
Now this is just silly:

Fact is, mel? I am a Democrat and so is she. I support Democrats, always. Ya'll can give yourself and tag ya want. I am a Democrat.
Thanks so much! Great talking to as always, melman.
