Ocasio-Cortez: There Are ‘Legitimate White Supremacist Sympathizers’ in the Core of House GOP

Pam Key 27 Jan 2021

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that in the “core of the Republican Caucus in the House of Representatives,” there are “legitimate white supremacist sympathizers.”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “I actually sense a profound difference between the Republican Caucus of last term, the 115th Congress, and the Republican Caucus of this term, that we are now, what, a few weeks into at this point. And that difference was that it really felt that last term, the Republican Caucus was one of extreme fealty to Donald Trump. There were some that were true believers. Others that simply remained quiet out of cowardice and out of fear of the president’s retribution. This term, there are legitimate white supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican Caucus in the House of Representatives.”

She continued, “When you see someone like the House Minority Leader of the Republican Party respond to white supremacists vitriol coming from his own members, not with censure like they did with representative Steve King of Iowa, not with, you know, being stripped of committees, not with any consequence, you have to wonder who actually has that power. It increasingly seems, unfortunately, that in the House Republican Caucus, Kevin McCarthy answers to these QAnon members of Congress, not the other way around.”

Ocasio-Cortez added, “When I hear that representative McCarthy is going to pull a member aside who has made white supremacist sympathizing comments, the thing that I think is, what is he going to tell them, keep it up? Because there are no consequence in the Republican Caucus for violence. There’s no consequence for racism, no consequence for misogyny, no consequence for insurrection. No consequence means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance, and they want it because they know that it is a core animating political energy for them. ”

She concluded, “This is extremely dangerous, and extremely dangerous threshold we have crossed because we are now away from acting out of fealty to their president that they had in the Oval Office, and now we are talking about fealty to white supremacist organizations as a political tool. For Republicans that are in that caucus that are unwilling to hold that accountable or to distance themselves from it, we really, really need to ask ourselves what they are evolving into. This is no longer a party about limited government. This is about something much more nefarious.”

Stupid POS. I  know it's not worth the effort to react to her idiocy, but it's all just so tiresome.

[catfish1957]

AOC is the spam click bait of the political world.  No substance, and just wants attention.

[christian]

AOC is making it clear and spelling it out to the world how deeply invested and hateful the democrats are of whites and will never quit calling them racists.  It's an easy trick that blinds millions of people!

[Sighlass]

A White Supremacist must be anyone white that will not bend over backwards to spit at their own kin.

[LMAO]

Stupid POS. I  know it's not worth the effort to react to her idiocy, but it's all just so tiresome.

The “everyone who disagrees with me is a racist, white supremacist, Nazi, etc. etc.” line is  getting stale to a lot of people

[christian]

Yeah only democrats are entitled to scream racist, Nazi's, at whites, and minorities are also entitled of course.  Did DU shutdown ?

[skeeter]

Isn't this the same as committing sedition?

True story.  It lost its meaning.

[christian]

It's the vicious intolerant hate game democrats have utilized for along time that appeals to many minorities.  The amazing part is how many damn fool whites are willing to play along.
Blame Trump, blame Trump, Blame Trump Blame Trump, blame Trump, Blame Trump

The National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin said a heightened threat of attack "will persist in the weeks following the successful presidential inauguration," which took place on January 20.

Washington:

The US Department of Homeland Security declared a nationwide terrorism alert Wednesday, citing the potential threat from domestic anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president.

"Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the department said.

The National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin said a heightened threat of attack "will persist in the weeks following the successful presidential inauguration," which took place on January 20.

"DHS does not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot," it said.

"However, violent riots have continued in recent days and we remain concerned that individuals frustrated with the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition... could continue to mobilize a broad range of ideologically-motivated actors to incite or commit violence." ...

And this term, there are legitimate race-baiting, stupid-headed women that sit at the heart and at the core of the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives.

Tulsi Gabbard Warns Against the Danger of New 'Domestic Terrorism' Laws
Tulsi Gabbard is speaking out against the dangerous push for new laws empowering surveillance against ‘religious extremists,’ ‘racists,’ ‘bigots,’ and even ‘libertarians.’

... A bipartisan group in Congress has introduced the so-called “Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act Of 2021.” It would expand the surveillance and police powers of the national security state in the name of combatting dangerous extremism.

“America must be vigilant to combat those radicalized to violence, and the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act gives our government the tools to identify, monitor and thwart their illegal activities,” Congressman Brad Schneider, one of the bill’s lead sponsors, said. “Combatting the threat of domestic terrorism and white supremacy is not a Democratic or Republican issue, not left versus right or urban versus rural. Domestic Terrorism is an American issue, a serious threat that we can and must address together.”

We all surely agree that true domestic terrorism is reprehensible. But many progressive lawmakers are speaking out against the hasty push to expand government power and warning of the threat it poses to civil liberties. They warn these powers will undoubtedly be used against many more people and disfavored groups than just violent radicals like those who attacked the Capitol. ...

Just thinking out loud here...weren't the Dems the party of the KKK? Wasn't Robert Byrd a Dem?

Is AOC a kook or merely uneducated? (rhetorical)

[christian]

Notice that immediately after 9-11 democrats denied blaming the muslims that did it.  Yet see how quickly they blame the American people.  Who is it they really see as their enemy ?  You already know, its who they side with, who they attack is their enemies.  We have already seen it is the American people,the American military, Christians, whites, and police.  It's no longer a secret,but rather obvious.
Ain't it great, the more they attack, they more they get exposed for what they have done and who they are.  Some times the socialist can actually be our friends, they help expose themselves for who and what they really are.

And this term, there are legitimate race-baiting, stupid-headed women that sit at the heart and at the core of the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives.

It has been reported that women were a major force in Biden getting elected.  Biden's executive order requiring boys to have the right to girls sports events, their locker rooms is sure to follow if it wasn't part of the package yet!  Biden sure loves to bitch slap those that helped him.  Women, he's all yours, you can have him.

Muslims have a well deserved reputation for raping infidel women, it's their religious duty.  How will you like them showering with your daughters at school?

AGAIN, TO THE USEFUL FOOLS, ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
