Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday called for voters to fight against the confirmation of President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, speaking at a joint media event called to discuss the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"Call you senator and tell them not to listen to Mitch McConnell, not to be afraid of Mitch McConnell, to stand up and do the right thing," Schumer said, referencing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) plans to hold a vote to confirm Trump's nominee to replace Ginsburg.
Ginsburg died Friday due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. Her death triggered debate in Washington over what will happen to her Supreme Court seat heading into the election. Most Republicans support confirming whoever Trump announces as his nominee. But Democrats say it is hypocritical after Republicans blocked the confirmation of former President Obama's nominee Merrick Garland in 2016 because it was close to the election.
During Sunday's press conference, Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez called on voters to turn out in force this November to support Biden, and warned of the court decisions that could be handed down, such as overturning the Affordable Care Act, if the Supreme Court gains another conservative justice.
"This is one of the most important times that we have had for everyday people to stand up," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We all need to be more courageous and we all must act in unprecedented ways to make sure that our rights are stabilized. And to Mitch McConnell, we need to tell him that he is playing with fire. We need to make sure that this vacancy is protected, that our election continues and that the American people have their say."
The DNC meets the UN’s definition of terrorist organization:
“The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.”
Re McConnell’s playing with fire and Ginburg’s seat.
What did he do, light her farts?
Or what Airhead O Commie? More riots by your minions?
Social media has made the communists more bold. They are going to find out they don’t have anywhere near the numbers they think. They think Twitter is America when only 17% are even on it
MAGA or Burn America Down
Where is that song “We didn’t start the fire?” From Billy Joel in the 80’s. Somebody, queue up that song!!!
Ooo, I’m afraid. Not of this brain dead commie operative. Shove it, sistah.
It is not Ginsberg’s seat.
What are they going to do? Fire on Fort Sumter again?
I agree. They are threatening to burn down his house. They burned plenty of them in Oregon.
“Burn it down!” Antifa/BLM=ARSONISTS
Sen. John Cornyn calls it ‘incitement’:-
@JohnCornyn
And then there is AOC: “playing with fire” When does this rhetoric lead to incitement?

Millions of Trump supporters to AOC: Bug off, you little twit.

You just insulted the multitudes of closet AOC lovers here on FR that just cannot get enough of her upper extremities and just love her dance video. Shame on you.
