@repblumenauer either that or Dem reps can just keep claiming "no one is above the law" "we need more facts" "look at this horrible thing he did. alas." followed by "it's 2020 so we need to wait..oh look, Putin hacked our voter rolls & trump got reelected. we need more facts before we can act"
@MicheleLapinski@PetesNet@AOC Is your argument that trump is wrong too? The two aren't mutually exclusive. trump can be a complete racist ass that attacks our allies and cozies up to dictators *and* Ilhan could've repeatedly phrased things in ways that use long-standing, dangerous stereotypes.
@_mamadeb@cmclymer@IlhanMN I sincerely hope that she stops and steps back and learns what the tropes are/why they're concerning and then raises her arguments concisely and without them. If her criticisms are fact-based and specific (Israel is doing x and it is not ok), I'd probably agree with her.
@_mamadeb@cmclymer@IlhanMN Yes, and (not but). The islamophobic attacks against her were/are horrible and she has now repeatedly made somewhat ambiguous statements that use long-standing anti-Semitic stereotypes. And the surge of AS in Europe adds to concern.
@tedwheeler@ChiefDOutlaw Why do you need another 'listening session' to hear something that you yourself say has been long expressed? The first step needed now is action: an *independent* investigation.
@EricaCobb I always thought your hair was absolutely gorgeous and I was kinda jealous. I didn't realize that it wasn't your hair. But today, wow. You're amazing. And your real hair is even more beautiful. Thank you.
@Kokomothegreat@MichaelAvenatti They dropped it from a felony to consideration of misdemeanor charges. That is not 'cleared of all charges' as he implies.
