Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.
I think their commitment to the West Wingification of American politics and their oligarch donors would have them putting “decorum” above calling for violence no matter what happens.
If they can’t learn from repeated election losses, they aren’t going to learn how to save their country any other way, either.
