Public officials are fair game for criticism. Male or female, black or white, religious or agnostic.

As a female myself, I’m quite tired of the progressive meme that anyone criticizing female public officials is only doing so out of fear/terror/intimidation. If gender equality is truly of importance, let’s remember that when attempting to stifle speech by telling someone they are afraid of a woman. It’s pathetic low-hanging fruit.

Indirect payment. Tariffs, taxes, fines on illegals. Currency devaluations. Never said Mexico was going to write a check, and any thinking person could have told you that they wouldn't write one.

Sure. The complaint was the fandom created around every third post being about the same one person.

The answer is simple, really. AOC gets a lot of attention because she seeks it, through her nonstop social media posts, interviews, and actions. People respond to what people see.

This is Fake News and you lemmings eat it up.

So those people from the Bronx are fake? She really HAS opened an office in the Bronx? Tell us what, in that article, is fake. I lived in NYC for 30 years. I know people from the Bronx, and I can tell you I know more than these two people who feel like she's too focused on national politics and is ignoring the Bronx.


Edit: I understand that she's a member of the House, and that the House is made up of representatives to influence national government. However, those I know still feel like what she's focused on right now is just posturing, and she is ignoring the needs of those who live in her district.
