AOC runs away from debate

Any third-party witnesses?

iow, AOC avoided a shouting match on the sidewalk during an unrelated celebratory event.
At least she has some common sense.

If the story is actually true, she did have enough common sense not to be backed into a corner by some obnoxious Republican. However, we should take whatever these 'eyewitnesses' are quoted as saying with a grain of salt because the article is from Fox News. Fox News has a mixed rating for right wing bias, poor sourcing, spreading of conspiracy theories, publishing misleading reports and omitting reporting of information that may damage conservative causes (Fox News-Media Bias/Fact Checking).

Next time plan ahead. Have the debate stage a block ahead of where the confrontation takes place. She will wind up running right up onto the stage.

You = not you personally

Would you go unprepared to a debate against an opponent? Would you have a debate with an opponent without every word being documented by your own people?
If you would, it would be a Very reckless thing to do.

GOP opponent says AOC ‘literally ran’ away when challenged to debate

Valdes’ account was echoed by Guardian Angels founder and radio host Curtis Sliwa, who said the incident unfolded when Valdes approached the progressive firebrand about 12:30 p.m.

“As soon as she saw him she did a pirouette — a spin — and she ran north on Fifth Avenue, ahead of her delegation, just to get away from Rich,” he said.

“I heard Rich yelling after her, ‘OK, AOC. You can run — but you can’t hide!'”

It was more of a fast walk to ward off impending shame.

Next time she will turn and thrash like a little girl full of fury and crazy. Promise.

Because being asked a question from someone other than a fawning sycophant would simply be too much for her to endure. Seriously, how can We The People ever expect our elected officials to possess the internal fortitude and personal courage to endure the sheer horror of being asked an unscripted question posed by someone with a differing opinion? Since when did any elected official ever, ever, have to possess such qualities?

Because all the other news outlets have such a stellar record. For over two years now the MSM, meaning practically everyone other than FOX News, has been promoting the lie of Russia Collusion and Obstruction of Justice, and are still engaged in both.

But you...you've got your eye on FOX News...

And you actually believe CNN reports the truth?

Please, cite one of those conspiracy theories FOX News has promoted.

I would agree. It would be a good opportunity.

Perhaps it is true of politicians, trump has done 55 interviews with fox and perhaps 8 or so with all of the other networks, wonder why?

Conspiracies....Seth Rich for starters. Then again most are from the entertainers such as Hannity, Carlson, etc. some of the actual news anchors are quite competent.

How many times are people misquoted or what they say is taken out of context?
I believe you have said that the President has been misquoted, taken out of context, or even sources lying about what he said.

Rich is an opponent. It wouldn't be wise to get into a debate on the street and it certainly isn't the place to make a date to have a debate.

Depends on whether you win that debate. If you would lose then its unwise.

No one from either party should be engaging in heated political debates in the street . There are proper forums for that, so good for her for walking away. They were there for a parade not to debate one another. It sounded like a high school fight setup or something .
