She has done this ever since her career in Washington began. If you think that is ok so be it.

You may well be right about a politician and the truth. Of course I want some facts, if you have them handy.

I have not heard of any other member of Congress promoting violence either. Have you?

Meh... Yeah, I have. Just about anything Ms. Greene said. And the warrior-rethoric of the president reject & his minions surely did not help.

On the other hand she did accused Sen. Ted Cruz of trying to have her murdered. Perhaps you don't remember what happened to Sen. Rand Paul. Or Rep. Steve Scalisie. Words are dangerous and she is way out of line to say things like that which by the way is another lie by AOC. Is that not a standard that elected officials should live up to?

Absolutely. AOC never "handled" a gullible and violent mob, thou. If you leave a gun with a two-year-old (a frenzied crowd is not smarter than that) and something happens - you don't blame the Kid. I am not aware of the argument Ms. Cortez makes, but I think she's smarter than to just throw allegations around.

But this doesn't line up with what we have learned. The building she was in was never stormed by the protesters. The right thing to do would be to admit that she was wrong and maybe apologize for sensationalizing her experience.

again: she had no birds eye view nor a minimap. the building across the street was overrun by a frenzied mob. All of them supporters of that man that made you one of the worst enemies of the state the last four years. A splinter group could well have thought to cross the street and come look where she was.

She wasn't the only one in danger.

I thought she was never in danger?

What you seem to be suggesting is that because you think Greene is crazy then we should excuse dishonesty by Ms Ocasio-Cortez. Say it ain't so.

You should. Your house is on fire and you're sorting your socks, because they're in disarray. To be less figurative: Such "whataboutisms" are just used to distract from the real issue this country is facing. And that's unhealthy. Think of all the refugees that will pour into canada. EDIT: it wont be the rich landowners.
