In a Twitter debate over Ocasio-Cortez's proposal for a 70% with Steven Scalise, GOP Minority Whip who was shot and almost killed by a sniper, the young Congresswoman's supporters urged her to "snipe his (behind)" and "kick his cane." I speak as one liberal Democrat who does not consider this appropriate debate.

Where is this nation's sense of decency? Source: (link).

She better watch out. Scalise may be the new Preston Brooks of the House.

Social media is full of garbage. Anyone can create an account and remain anonymous, so they use this to say the most vulgar and extreme things without fear of repercussions. Happens almost everywhere. No statement read on the internet should ever surprise someone.

It would behoove a leader to be a voice of maturity and leadership; to tell her supporters "don't do this, full stop"!

The new face of the Democrat Party is increasingly diverse, with her and other people of color like Rashid Tlaib, Cory Booker, and Elizabeth Warren.

Everyone says this, but what everyone fails to comprehend is that when people say things like what was in the OP, it is exactly what they think. Hiding behind an anonymous name allows them to say exactly what they think without fear of anyone doxxing them.

I firmly believe that people should say exactly what they think with no restrictions - it's good to know precisely where people stand, especially if someone takes action on their words.
