AOC is HECKLED at virtually empty town hall in the Bronx: Protester says she voted to 'start this war in Ukraine' and will push the US to the brink of nuclear war
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was interrupted by protesters at her Bronx town hall Wednesday over her vote to approve military aid to Ukraine

  • 'I believed in you, and you became the very thing you sought to fight against. That's what you've become,' one protester yelled. 'You are the establishment'

  • Two men shouted down AOC during the question-and-answer period of the town hall, in which many of the seats remained unoccupied

  • 'You originally ran as an outsider, yet you've been voting to start this war in Ukraine,' the other man said

  • The progressive left - which historically has held a more anti-war stance than their mainstream Democratic counterparts - has quietly backed the war effort

#1 There are three political parties in the US now. Democrat (party of Pelosi, AOC, Biden), Republican (party of Mitch McConnall), MAGA (party of Donald Trump).

#2 McConnall is a dying breed currently and that leaves only pub-Trump and pub-antiTrump. Not the best state of affairs.

#3 Republican (McConnell) and MAGA (Trump)

McConnell and Graham and Romney and Cheney’s party is the Uniparty: the globalists, grifters, groomers and goons of the Deep State. These assholes are indistinguishable from Biden on the issues of the FBI’s outrageous lies and attacks and the Swamp’s pointless forever wars in shitholes where we have no vital interest.

Their opposition is the true Republican Party, the America First party that opposes the liberal globalists, the Swamp and its asinine forever wars.

Ukraine / Russia war.
This should go down in history as the Best Investment based on Return On Investment.

What did it cost Ukraine a few $$ Million in the US LSD party leadership and their family members with a 1,999,900+% ROI?

#6 But Nancy Pelosi's comment still stands. A glass of water with a D after its name could win election in that district.

#7 Phons Omert2327, you are right that there are three, and you are right about the divisions, but you are wrong in the naming. Mage is the GOP now.

Mitch McConnall and company are like that Japanese soldier on a pacific island who didn't know the war was lost. They will learn this without a shadow of a doubt in the Midterms and most will not re-run.

#8 McConnell and his ilk are becoming fewer and fewer. The future of the GOP is MAGA. A shift has taken place in which corporate big wigs and other uber wealthy types have deviated from traditional American, patriotic conservatism as we knew it when we were young in favor of globalism as witnessed in places like Davos. My theory is that this shift started with granting communist China most favored nation trading status and entry into WTO. Before Trump, middle American, patriotic, conservative voters had no say in the matter. But with Trump, their voices are now heard and it scares the hell out of Democrats and globalist McConnell/Romney/Graham/Bush type Republicans.

#9 I'm afraid your analysis is about 97% accurate Abu.
