Or maybe her constituents should call her out on Twitter, for being a hypocrite.

It may be a first in American politics . I’ll have to look and see if any speaker in history has been accused of being a racists by their party member , then holding a vote the next week accusing their political opponent of being a racist .

Usually the opponent doesn’t throw them such a softball.

Pelosi will force a vote to condemn Trump for saying four minority congresswomen should go 'back where they came from' – just months after Democrats WATERED DOWN a resolution denouncing one of them for anti-Semitism

Nancy Pelosi announced Monday House Democrats are composing a resolution condemning President Donald Trump's tweets against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezand her 'squad.'

The speaker indicated there will be a vote soon in the chamber, a move designed to put Republicans on the record about their feelings on the president's tweets after few GOP lawmakers, thus far, have defended him.

You care to provide a link where AOC called Pelosi a racist?

AOC calls Pelosi's 'singling out' of Democratic women of color 'disrespectful' - CNNPolitics

Asked if she thinks Pelosi has racial animus or is racist, Ocasio-Cortez said unequivocally, "No, no, absolutely not, absolutely not."

“I think it’s really just pointing out a pattern, right?” Ocasio-Cortez said on Thursday.

LMFAO, she isn't but she is, right?

The words may be consistent, the “message” is not.

There are people who think Trump is an abnormally awful president without needing to engage in pretend outrage, partisanship, or selective acceptance. If you were genuinely worried about right and wrong or even just being correct, you’d internalize that and consider it as a possibility.

But you don’t ever consider that possibility. Any critics saying otherwise must be acting in bad faith, according to you, with no factual justification necessary to back up that assessment.

That’s the incongruence.

Anybody worried about being correct would need to reconcile challenges to their opinion. You don’t. Instead, you make **** up to pigeonhole any challenging statement into whatever category of bad faith is convenient at the moment. It’s intellectually dishonest and nobody needs to do that unless they have an agenda. And it’s certainly not consistent with an agenda of “wrong is wrong.”

Not sure if it’s about trolling, defending Trump, or something else. Either way it’s bizarre behavior and hard to take it seriously, although apparently some people still do, based on the responses you got. Kudos, I guess.

Most of the anti-Trumpers on here practice selective outrage. Maybe you're not one of them. Fine. I apologize for grouping you with them. That doesn't change the fact that some on here are very obviously politically motivated with their criticism. When they bitch about all things Trump and keep their mouths shut when someone on the left gets caught in outrageous behavior, you can't tell me it's not politically motivated.

I've never denied Trump is a pompous, immoral jackass. But he's not the only pompous, immoral jackass in politics. DC has many of them, on both sides of the aisle. Certain people only want to call out Trump and the right. Others only want to call out the left. Very few want to admit to fault on both sides.


If you haven't noticed the behavior, you're choosing not to see it. Especially if you're capable of writing a thesis on my purported behavior. I say what I feel and what I see. You don't have to agree with it. I'm not sure where you get I'm "making **** up". You want to provide some examples? I don't make **** up. Sometimes I may be wrong, who isn't, but I don't make **** up.

IALMFAOAY - Trumpers seem to have an extremely difficult time with nuance, degrees, and continuums.

Oh to live in the black and white, 2-dimensional world of the redhatter.

Of course she's going to say no when called on it, but there's no mistaking the playing of the race card. You're intelligent enough to know that. If AOC were a Republican, you'd be all over it.

You have lost your mind. Seriously, you're refusing to see reality for what it is.

That would be a step up from your one dimensional world. Or is that one "demential" world?

Trump is the most pompous, immoral jackass to ever hold the office.
He is not the norm.
He is not normal.
Until you can admit to these truths, you are the one appearing politically motivated.

We are in a new political age of Populism. Normal is broken, and it is over. Trump is a product of both Republican and Democrat incompetency over the last 40 years. The old way of doing things, and what used to consider normal is DONE.

Welcome to the New Age.

Or it could very easily backfire. Your party thought running Hillary was a good idea too. You need to stop and consider both sides. There will be some who support censure, and there will be some who see Trump as the victim of what they see as a corrupt system. The House does not have a good image. Dems keep underestimating the opposition. You guys get so caught up in your Trump hate you've blinded yourself. Really need to get past that.

What do you call grouping me with the people you’re describing, without proof, if not “making **** up?”
