Rep. Rashida Tlaib defends Hasan Piker and calls out Democrats who have condemned him
"To all who have attacked Hasan Piker, I’m going to check to see if you said anything about Laura Loomer calling a Black woman running for Senate in Florida, Representative Angie Nixon, a ghetto bitch and said that she should tug on her leash.
There is an obsession over attacking folks who are against genocide, yet anti-Black racism goes unchecked."
"Ghetto" is not sitting on the floor of the legislature in protest.
"Ghetto" is eating dog food for money. Hope that clears it up for you @LauraLoomer.
But I suspect ghetto is just code because you're too afraid to say the word you really want to say.

Phillip: He keeps making these threats that seem empty because he isn't willing to carry them out. And then now to have the vice president kind of walk it back, that seems to make them look weak here.
Mailman: I don't necessarily see this as a threat being walked back. I see this as a president AI generated video. When are we going to stop being like, so triggered by truth social and an ai video?
Martin: How dare you take the president seriously…
McGowan: He does crazy things that are completely unhinged. Says he's going to annihilate the entire civilization. Then does this bombing thing, and we're supposed to be like, oh, he's just joking. He's just coming in there for a little joke. It's it's a terrible way to lead anyone
McGowan: I’m so tired of it. Honest to God, the only reason we’re talking about Hasan Piker is because he’s on the left. We have had right-wing shock jocks for years. We had freaking Rush Limbaugh ringing a bell every time a gay person died of AIDS. We have Nick Fuentes dining at Mar-a-Lago after he says, “Your women are your body. My choice.” We’ve got these right-wing Christian zealots who said women shouldn’t vote and we’re nothing but vessels. They are all on the right wing, and we’re not asking every single Republican candidate and sitting person if they approve of them, if they should disown them.
Rothman: I’m old enough to remember when every Republican in Congress was asked to respond to things Rush Limbaugh said.
McGowan: He got a Presidential Medal of Freedom from the president we have now, so please stop.
