All four members of “The Squad” fired back against former President Barack Obama’s criticism that the “defund the police” movement was just a “snappy slogan.” Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) tweeted their responses to Obama, who said activists “lost a big audience” by pushing the movement for police reform.

my money is on the Obamas. If it comes to blows, Michelle can take the black chick and the two Muslims. BHO can probably take AOC.

The only good outcome of Biden being installed as president will be to see the Democrats tearing themselves apart. The “squad” basically told Obama to go f@(k himself and he is not used to that.

I think there is what I would call an “anti-squad squad” headed up by newly Republican Alverez (I think).

Should be some interesting moments in the halls of Congress and in the media methinks.

Dems are like muslims. Once they vanquish an enemy, they begin killing each other.

Obama complained that the “older” members of the party were getting in the way of introducing the ideas of the “younger” members of the Democrat Party.

You ANTI-AMERICAN PIECE OF ANIMAL FILTH: THERE is your “younger” ideas, from those four which you would like to get “introduced”.

I'm waiting for them to start tempering the language. How long will it be before "Defund the police!" becomes "Lower the amount of budgetary increases to the policy and place those monies into community assistance programs"?

I like your slogan better.
