Businesses continue to drop their sponsorship deals with the Fresno Grizzlies this week in the wake of a misleading video suggesting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was an “enemy of freedom” to America.

The Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals aired the video between games of a Memorial Day doubleheader in an effort to honor fallen soldiers for their sacrifice and courage. They apologized for Ocasio-Cortez’ inclusion, which resulted in more death threats for the Democratic New York representative, and spent the week watching sponsors pull away.

Yeah what’s the misleading part?

She essentially wants No planes or ships in 10 years, unless cruise ships and smaller boats are now nuclear powered and no one told me.

I don’t think there are nuclear run planes yet.

And in 10 years I STILL plan to be driving a gas guzzling, high speed, big engine machine of my choice. :)

‘Resulted in more death threats.....’ From an anonymous source? She said so which makes it true?

See how quickly the Rats mobilized and started leaning on the sponsors. The fans had no problem with the what the team did. But the left went after the sponsors immediately. This is how you conduct war.

Someone should ask Ocasio-Cortez and Heineken if they believe Fidel Castro and Kim are “enemies of freedom.”

Maybe Heineken thinks Ronald Reagan is an enemy of freedom?

Businesses in America are suicidal. Talk about lemmings running to the wall of fire in panic.

And she is controlling the news cycle and setting the agenda for the national debate. How many congress members do you think a typical American can name? She would likely be one of them.

I agree.

I read about death threats almost every month.

I read about someone being prosecuted for death threats about once a year.

Apparently, most of the people who make death threats are brilliant criminals and cyber-magicians.

Not only does she claim she got threats, she says she knows that they are coming from white males
