Damn, this thread is enjoyable. Jake Tapper ✔ @jaketapper · 12h House Democrats appeared unified in their votes this week but I've spent the day talking to a bunch of them and many are extremely frustrated. All agree POTUS's tweets needed to be condemned; they spoke under condition of anonymity so they could be candid. (Thread) Jake Tapper ✔ @jaketapper 2/ "The president won this one," said House Dem 1 of the Trump v Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar & Pressley) showdown. "What the president has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks and the president has...

President Trump on Wednesday said that he referred to Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as just “Cortez” because he doesn’t “have time to go with three different names.” Trump made the comment during a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, on Wednesday night while recalling a brief exchange he previously shared about the New York Democrat’s name. “They said, ‘That’s not her name, sir,’” Trump recalled, “I said, ‘no, no, I don’t have time to go with three different names. We’ll call her Cortez. Takes too much time.”

While the race to be the next president pretty much begins on inauguration day in the modern era, congressional races tend to start a bit later. Yet with more than fifteen months to go, freshman congresswoman and “squad” member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already drawn a challenger who officially launched her campaign today. Shockingly, we’re not talking about a Democrat hoping to take AOC on in the primary, but a Republican. Scherie Murray came to America from Jamaica as a child, is a successful businesswoman and has been regularly involved in NY GOP politics. To call this a steep, uphill...

Scherie Murray, a Jamaican-born woman who grew up in Queens and founded a TV production and advertising company, plans to run for the congressional seat held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, according to a report. “There is a crisis in Queens, and it’s called AOC,” Murray, 38, told Fox News. “And instead of focusing on us, she’s focusing on being famous. Mainly rolling back progress and authoring the job-killing Green New Deal and killing the Amazon New York deal.” The Republican, who moved to the US when she was 9, slams the New York progressive darling in an introductory video....

<p>No, dear idiot squad sisters, Trump did not criticize you race or your gender. It's about your anti-Americanism! Period.</p>

I've been told I need to give a "barf alert" if I have pics of AOC. "Here are some “re-captioned” pics from the last few weeks that I’m pretty didn’t get uploaded. Share with your friends, use to emphasize a point online, or in email. If you want on or off my irregular ping list, please FRmail me.

Scherie Murray, a New York businesswoman who immigrated from Jamaica as a child and is active in state Republican politics, is launching a campaign Wednesday for the congressional seat held by Democratic Rep.

It’s been decades since Democrats had to confront a genuine challenge from the far left... The cracks in the party were most evident last week after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) casually deployed the race card against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). To be sure, Ocasio-Cortez’s side swipe — implying Pelosi singled her and her progressive allies out for criticism because they are women of color — was bad enough. But the real depth of the challenge Democrats face is better seen by looking at comments from Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti... Observers may wonder why Ocasio-Cortez and her chief...

AOC has stated that she wants to rid the world of gas-emitting cows. Finally, The View is going to be cancelled.

“The Squad” is selling swag in the midst of its clash with President Trump. The four progressive congresswoman of color told by Trump to “go back” to their countries — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib — began fundraising this week off their oft-used nickname, “the Squad.” Their $25 “We are the Squad” T-shirt, available in black or white, is sold through the progressive small-dollar fundraising platform ActBlue. The $25 splits evenly across all four candidates, with the option to add an additional contribution. “The Squad has never...

Well, this didn’t go like CNN planned! CNN got a panel of women together in Dallas and asked them leading questions about President Trump’s recent tweets telling Democrats who despise America to go live somewhere else. CNN reporter Randi Kaye used the word “racist” repeatedly in her questions. However, not a single one of the women thinks the tweets were racist!........

In the few remaining days where Trump's controversial tweets will still be talked about, you must be able to appreciate when someone delivers a spot-on burn. Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy nailed it last night while appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News . "I don't think President Trump is a racist. I don't think his original tweet was racist. I think it was a poor choice of words, which is why he clarified," Kennedy said, pointing out that Trump has since said that anyone who hates America is free to leave. "I'm not sure the president should exchange...

Horrible. And the neo-Nazi Democrat party refused tot pass a resolution against antisemitism. LIST OF RACIST STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS OF THE ‘SQUAD’ (SO FAR) PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TWEETED TUESDAY THAT “I DON’T HAVE A RACIST BONE IN MY BODY!” AND CHALLENGED HIS CRITICS TO “GET A LIST OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS” THAT THE FOUR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMEN OF THE SO-CALLED “SQUAD” HAVE SAID.

The other day, The Babylon Bee joked that Trump’s reelection campaign will “simply air unedited footage of Democrats talking”: And it appears that’s EXACTLY what will happen. Here’s the RNC’s latest ad on the Squad using their exact words (or in the case of the Antifa terror attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma, WA, their silence) against them. Check it out:

In the "squad" response to President Trump over his tweets to them about their anti-Americanism, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a doozy of a response.  She declared that the U.S. "belongs" to "everyone," including illegal aliens.  She couched it all in the smarmy language of addressing all the children of America.  Here's a short clip: Rep. @AOC: "The first note that I want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. And it belongs to everyone." pic.twitter.com/NsQQ1zDeiR— The Hill (@thehill) July 16, 2019 CBS News has a longer clip, which leads in with Ocasio-Cortez lamenting border detentions of illegally crossing...

**SNIP** Democrats have been calling for elimination of ICE for nearly a year. In the past few months, their rhetoric about the agency has escalated and a number of members have referred to ICE agents as Nazis. When asked about the attack Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who has called for elimination of the Department of Homeland Security, didn't want to talk about it. And neither does her pal AOC, who started the Nazi talk. And Ayanna Pressley too. Their silence is telling.

What Trump ACTUALLY tweeted: "So interesting to see "Progressive" Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came here from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere into 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 on back and show us. how it is done, These...

The four progressive congresswomen who are currently in a nasty feud with President Trump offered a not-so-subtle warning to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, the next time she "singles them out." Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich, Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass, often referred to as "The Squad," sat down with "CBS This Morning" host Gayle King on Tuesday as the House voted to formally condemn Trump over tweets that Democrats labeled as racist. King asked the congresswomen if they've been in contact with Pelosi. "Our teams are in communication," Ocasio-Cortez responded. "But shouldn't you be meeting...
