Media and other Democrats peddling story that ‘The Squad’ faces extraordinary level of threats. Capitol Police disagree
By Thomas Lifson
The notion of victimization is at the heart of progressive politics, regardless of the facts of any particular situation. The current darlings of the progs are the four female freshmen House members called The Squad, all of whom claim to be racial minorities – “people of color†in that odd expression that relegates Caucasians to transparency or colorlessness. And half of the Squad, Reps Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib, have skin color lighter than many Italians, Jews, and others who for some reason are not allowed to claim special status as inherently victimized “people of color.â€
So, clearly, dishonest fantasy and exaggeration are at the heart of the progressive politics of victimization.
