Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) held a press conference with members of the far-left Squad to respond to what the left claims are “racist” attacks from President Trump. Trump suggested the freshman Democrats should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” if they are so unhappy with the United States. The press conference devolved into a bashing session against Trump’s policies, with Omar citing Trump’s purported Islamophobia and asserting that he is perpetuating “the agenda of white nationalists.” “He would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion,...

to Trump's Comments Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib hold a press conference following recent attacks from the President Trump.

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly...... ....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how.... ....it is done. These places need your help badly,...

President Trump tweeted. The tweets are being called racist because Trump told critics of the United States to go back to their country. Now those critics are holding a press conference to respond. Trump’s comment sounds bad, if you leave the rest of it out. He actually said, “Go back to your countries, fix the problems there — and then come back, and show us how you did it!” How many racists say “leave,” and then say, “please come back and help us?” Probably zero. But Trump messes with the media's reading comprehension, so they only digest half. See, Trump’s...

Sen. Lindsey Graham found himself squarely in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s cross hairs Monday after the South Carolina lawmaker lashed out at the Queens congresswoman and her cohort of progressive female lawmakers known as “the Squad.” “I see @LindseyGrahamSC’s biggest issue w/ Trump’s racism is that it doesn’t go far enough – Graham wants to bring back 1950s McCarthyism, too,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Monday after Graham went on “Fox & Friends” and called the lefty group “anti-Semitic,” “anti-America” and a “bunch of communists.” “GOP is doing this because they have no plan for our future,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “We’re the ones fighting for...

Some Dowd whining, then: "Chakrabarti sent shock waves through the Democratic caucus when he posted a tweet about the border bill comparing moderate and Blue Dog Democrats — some of whom are black — to Southern segregationists in the ’40s. Rahm Emanuel told me Chakrabarti is “a snot-nosed punk” who has no idea about the battle scars Pelosi bears from the liberal fights she has led. “What votes did you get?” Emanuel said, rhetorically challenging A.O.C.’s chief of staff. “You should only be so lucky to learn from somebody like Nancy who has shown incredible courage and who has twice...

Photos of Saikat Chakrabarti in a T-shirt with the image of an admirer of Adolf Hitler resurfaced days after Ocasio-Cortez quoted Eva Peron, a figure who was linked to the Nazis via her husband. Media outlets are again questioning why Saikat Chakrabarti, who serves as chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), wore a T-shirt in a December 2018 video with an image of Subhas Chandra Bose. Bose was an Indian political figure who admired the Nazis, met with Adolf Hitler and Holocaust-mastermind Heinrich Himmler, and lived in Berlin from 1941 until 1943, during the height of World...

Gold plate this man and keep him until we're healthy again !HOW can you not love President Donald J. Trump ?

Why did Nancy Pelosi reverse her earlier approach to her noisy first-term progressives and start taking them to the public woodshed? An internal poll conducted in May by Democrats might explain why Pelosi decided to start cracking down on the frosh “Squad.” Axios got its hands on the survey, which showed that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had succeeded in making herself the “definitional face” of Democrats among swing voters.And that’s not a good thing for most other Democrats. When it comes to “white, non-college voters” that Democrats wooed away from Donald Trump in the midterms, AOC is box-office poison: Ocasio-Cortez was...

Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan blasted House Democrats for pushing a "false narrative" during an explosive hearing in which he clashed with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gerry Connolly and others. Speaking Friday before the House Oversight Committee hearing, Homan delivered a fiery defense of border agents, pushing back against Democrats' claims about conditions at detention centers along the border. In particular, Connolly, D-Va., blasted the Trump administration for "hardly humane care" being given to migrant families. "If you don't like this, do your job. Fix it," Homan told lawmakers.

President Trump early Monday ramped up his online attacks on a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen, asking when they will apologize to the U.S. "When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said," he tweeted. "So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!" he added. "If Democrats want to unite around the foul language & racist hatred spewed from the mouths and actions of these very unpopular &...

The pain of your enemy should be your joy, and we conservatives are pegging the joymeter right about now watching the political sepsis that is CongressKid AOC and her merry band of idiots running rampant within the flabby body of the Democrat Party. There’s only one solution to the gangrene caused by her and that brother-marrying weirdo who cheers for the wrong side in Black Hawk Down and Ms. Palestine. You have to amputate. But the donkeys can’t do it. That would cripple or kill the patient. So, what to do about the infection ravaging their party? It’s quite the...

A newly released internal poll of Democratic swing voters found that just 9 per cent have a favorable view of Rep. Ilhan Omar while just 22 per cent view Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez favorably. The poll “included 1,003 likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education,” reports Axios. The results validate the concerns of many Democrats that the party is moving too far left and losing moderate voters in the process. Ocasio-Cortez was recognized by 74% of voters in the poll with just 22% having a favorable view. Rep. Ilhan Omar fared even worse, with...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fresh from a bitter public spat with top House Democrats, unloaded on President Trump Sunday afternoon after he suggested that unnamed progressive congresswomen "go back" to their own "corrupt" and "crime infested" countries of origin, then "come back and show us how it is done." "You can't leave fast enough," Trump had written. Ocasio-Cortez's fiery Twitter return barrage could be the call to action that unifies a party currently divided along establishment and progressive lines, observers said, even as some analysts blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for laying the groundwork for Trump's remarks. "Mr. President,...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti: “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all… we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing” Saikat Chakrabarti is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff.On July 10, 2019, the Washington Post published the following: (the bolding is mine)Chakrabarti had an unexpected disclosure. “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal,” he said, “is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.” Ricketts greeted this startling notion with an attentive poker face. “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Chakrabarti continued. “Because...

Money does not grow on trees: "Sure it does," replied AOC confidently, "we have hundreds of trillions of trees. We simply cut them down, make wood pulp, print paper money, Government can afford anything. You just do not understand economics When Alexandria Occasionally-Coherent wants to create news, she calls for a press conference. But when she wants to grab a headline she does what every smart politician does—she calls ace reporter Hugh Betcha of the mighty Canada Free Press. Hugh, who walks with kings and princes, is widely respected on both sides of the aisle in Washington, and recently won...

Yikes. Internal polling shows that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar, two newly elected notable ideological progressives in Congress, are driving the media cycle and image of the Democratic Party. This is bad news for Dems because, as reported by Axios, most swing voters do not approve of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez nor Rep. Omar. Likewise, these same voters also have a mostly negative view of the socialism the left wants in America. These voters do, however, favor capitalism, which has been vilified by members of Congress and Democratic 2020 candidates alike. According to Axios , the poll was "taken in...

President Donald Trump taunted the Democrats’ so-called “Squad” — the four far-left first-term representatives — on Sunday morning, telling them to go back and fix the places they came from before telling the rest of the country what to do. He tweeted: So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......— Donald J.

Former ICE Director Thomas Homan rendered socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez utterly speechless on Friday during a congressional hearing after the 29-year-old former bartender tried to grill him about immigration-related policies. "It says the official recommendation, there were three different options presented, the third included the option for family separation," Ocasio-Cortez said. "This initiative would pursue prosecution of all amenable adults including those presenting with a family unit. "Mr. Homan, your name is on this, is this correct?" Ocasio-Cortez asked. "Yes, I signed that memo," Homan replied. "So, you are the author of the family separation policy?" Ocasio-Cortez asked. "I'm not...
