appropriate decorum:


What an interesting world when brushing past a politician is a moral equivalent to saying they tried to murder you.

"I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response. “Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed. In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.
I posted my concerns about the statements of Ocasio Cortez several times she seems to be out of control. She has no concept of appropriate decorum.

After watching the defense of both Cheney and Trump I'll give this one all the consideration it is due.

What an interesting world in which complaining about having its life threatened is a breach in decorum, but pushing aside a foreign PM while representing the nation isn't a big deal.

Ah -- I forgot, Saint Trump did, then it's OK.

The irony of Trump loyalists acting like they're concerned with the appropriate decorum of politicians is off the charts. Unfortunately for them, they don't have a moral ground to stand on to pretend they're indignant about something a Democratic politician says or does. It would be laughable if it wasn't so lame and unconvincing. The truth is, no one outside of the Trump universe is taking them seriously.

However - he never made a threat to her - he objected, as Democrats have numerous times, to a legal action. He did not say anything to her, directed no comment to her, made no verbal threat whatsoever. AOC made an unfounded accusation and should apologize.

The actions of one person, real or imagined, does not give excuse for what another person does.

The moral high-ground rests with opening the borders, to "import" tens of millions of Democratic votes, for Reparations ?

Why? Is it wrong to make unfounded accusations?

How about ones concerning the election?

Nope, evidently to one party in particular unfounded accusation are the new norm. Two in particular resulted in two years of investigation, 40,000,000, 40 special agents, 19 attorneys, 1,000,000 pages of evidence, thousands of subpoenas, interviews etc . Producing no proof of the unfounded accusation.

The other unfounded accusation ended with a purely partisan impeachment over a phone call where both parties of the phone call and the one fact witness saying the accusation did not happen.

How about those?

What she said seems perfectly appropriate. .

You think that a Congressperson falsely accusing another Congressperson of trying to have her murdered is nothing that deserves so much as an apology, huh?

Yes, he apologized, and by the way Obama didn't lie and everyone who actually did a modicum of research knows this! I don't think AOC needs to apologize for telling the truth....
What "truth?" The accusation was without any proof.

She has been traumatized and has lost confidence that she is safe in her own chambers. This is even sadder in my opinion. The GOP for the most part are still silent.
