I find it hilarious how triggered some people on the right get over her. They better get used to her because she is going to be around for a long long time.
See and I find it hilarious when liberals are triggered over language based on whose mouth it's coming out of and nothing more.

I expect professionalism, civility and decency from the people elected to office on both sides of the isle, and especially from our highest offices.

I long ago came to accept that social media and online forums allow posters to show their worst selves. Vulgarity and cruelty is cheered and applauded in forums like this one. The crueler you are, the more rep points you get. It used to just be seen online but it has now spread out to our everyday off-line lives as well, and now even our elected officals that are representing us. It's sad.

Trump and his supporters are really proficient at using one syllable words.

It’s in their wheelhouse.

Then I'm shocked you mentioned Yoho's remark to AOC with no mention of the unprofessional comments AOC and others have made over the years.

Yoho's comments say far more about him (and those agreeing with him) than it does AOC. I'm not an AOC fan but she was elected just like Yoho and has the right to serve without harassment and abuse. I despise men who bully and harass women by calling them pejoratives. Censure this nasty tub of lard. She should file a police report on him. Freedom of speech does not allow you to put your finger in someone else's face or verbally harass and abuse them.

That's mean it's ok if one of her fans use the b-word in a tweet for support?

Regardless of what goes on online, a woman should be able to go about her business without being harassed or treated with disrespect.

Start a new thread showing me where AOC has verbally assaulted a fellow congressman and maybe I'll comment on it.

Well, Chucksnee, has anyone walked up to Trump and said "Impeach the MF?" Regardless of what truly nasty things he's said and done, he is still treated with respect to his face. Odd, eh?

Men are rarely treated with the level of disrespect that women are subject to on a regular basis.

When was the last time you heard someone in public yell out to a man to, "Show us your dick, sweet thing!"
