She telling the truth
Maraxus
I respect her attitude but we live in a time, when it is no longer the question whether political violence is morally okay. In the best case we wonder if political violence can be effective and in the worst case how to best organize it. At this point, we are way past the point where insults are a topic of discussion.
tinyfootprints
In front of reporters, Mr. Yoho demonstrated his lack of character and lack of moral stature.
PaulieCarbone
Great speech, bit the 'inspirational music' is really not necessary
Xero999
You all best for for her as your new president
huey9k
Well said! Also, how's that new stroke medication working out?
gobbin
Way to go AOC, I love watching you give the GOP hell & rightly so.

In elementary school, I was taught that only the most morally upstanding people could qualify to be members of the US Congress. These days, it appears that more than half of Congress is being blackmailed. How many of them are in the Epstein files? More than a few, I would guess.

I hope I live long enough to see this young woman become our President.The world will be a much better place.
ProjectDA
it would be nice, but wed also need a change withing the dem party and majority in both houses. as we know, a large portion of dems are right/center right. despite what it feels like. the president is limited by congress. which means congress and the SCOTUS are responsible for what trump does daily. if she won, they would sandbag her worse than obama. probably bus in neonazis for monthly tours.
OneUniverse
She is what we need in congress now. Real honest people.
Ana5ta51a
She's a class act.

The famous Congress piano background track.
Whitebeardthepirate
and you can guarantee if someone had gone to arrest Yoho for his hate speech, he'd start screaming about "FREEDOM OF SPEECH! FIRST AMENDMENT!"
TheVillageGrouch9000
Why the music? Another great statement from one of the few good ones in that chamber.
RHodeidra
How would you know what to feel without the music?
DwayneTheCrackJohnson
Yo, fuck that added background music
SecretAgentSuperBooger
She's a force to be reckoned with.
Capum15
lmao, holy shit the pool noodle comment is great.
icanc4
What is wrong with that country that someone even has to take time in any legislative assembly to make these obvoius points? The toxic discourse in the USA is wasting its leaders' time and taxpayers' money.

A new definition of Mansplaining: telling a piece of shit how a man should act.
EveryoneSaysEverythingHereisAI
This is what a human, being a human, looks and sounds like. We live in a time where humans have entirely lost their humanity; degrading so badly that now they are only biologically human.

ireallydontthinkso
that was hard to watch. that damn music is so annoying...
LittleChickadee
Love her <3. I hope she gets Schumer's seat :3
zHurk777
... but HATE the fvcking heart strings tear jerker music. so stupid.
Tunica
More of this, so tired of AIPAC bitches. They all need to go. But never gonna happen if that third of people that don't vote start voting
Recaffeinated
There's plenty of bad to say about Schumer and I agree with it all but it makes me irrational angry go watch that man go on national TV and stare at a piece of paper that we obviously had not read before and dictate it to the public. Good lord man can you at least skim through it first so you can make some eye contact?
Jewdakris
And I hope schumer moves to his plot
mandorsawalll
She needs to be god damn president as soon as possible
LittleChickadee
She'll have way more power as a Senator; i think it's best she go there, personally.
mik1321
One day hopefully
Knollimar
Did she really lecture him over cursing at her? Like she went all "wife and daughters" over this? Normally an AOC fan but :/ here.

...are you being serious? How are you not understanding this, it's blatantly obvious what the issue is.
mikeatike
Says someone that will squal when called something similar.
MicrodosingClimateChange
From Wikipedia: The incident occurred in 2020. Yoho was eventually removed as a board member of a Christian non-profit over the incident. Yoho retired from politics January 3, 2021. Voting against making lynching a federal hate crime is one of his many horrid moves while in Congress.
doctorId
Of course he's a Christian 🙄
crimpitdown9001
I bet his wife will probably never know of this, ɓut i hope one day his daughter learns of all this. Bubbles burst eventually
Onebigcanuck
I don't have a lot of faith someone raised in that household doesn't espouse the same views. Example, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders is as contemptible as her father.
mjperk
I guess I'm more cynical these days because I get his wife 100% knew about it and probably would still stand by his side if she did.

Who fucking cares whether re it gets an upvote or downvote? How does that impact your life in any meaningful way?
Shesh this site is full of bell ends
weidermeijer
Wow! A mirror!
starkeclipse
Honestly, though. How does an up or down vote anyone's life in a meaningful way. If you're going to argue, at least have some content to it.

I didn't downvote, but I won't upvote either, because of the music.
This type of music under this kind of message shifts the connotation in a very drastic way. And it is NOT in favor of AOC.
I will drastically exaggerate to explain the problem: The music makes her a little girl in a fairytale and thus completely nullifies the importance of her message and belittles AOC in the same way as the GOP always does.
This is not a feel good story where the music would fit.
No music would've been the way

There are MAGAsses among us who dv “libtard” posts
You shouldn’t care about the dv’s
Iblamemyparentstoo
I usually don't, trust me but couldn't hold back in this situation
BeerFueledAdventurer
The goddamn music.... it completely detracts from the powerful message

MrsHowVeryDareYou
Came here to suggest this. That music was unnecessary and weird.
ilhares
Seconded.
nonickname23
1000% agree. I upvoted, because of the message, but holy shittok Batman, there must be a proper audio clip out there somewhere.

It's not personal. People are allowed to dislike things. _I_ find the music unnecessary and distracting.

pullingsixty
Well you certainly are.
nonickname23
You think I'm eliciting pity? How verbose. I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of this. Like, you're seriously coming across as a fucking asshole the more you comment. I just said I didn't like the music. I suppose your attitude is warranted if _you_ added the music, but otherwise, take a breath and walk away from your screen a while.
