Should some in the Republican party who are clearly fascists educate themselves about that? Is any reporter going to ask?

it’s liberals who call themselves “leftists” who need a little bit of political education. neoliberalism is a right-wing ideology by definition.

okay now ask her about so-called 'white nationalists'

A good reporter would have followed up: "what if a bunch of people elected the Democratic Fascist Party?"

What a weak and ignorant answer. She has to be one of the most unintelligent members of Congress. Maybe second or third to Crockett.

@aaiqbal Hahaha, trying to red bait AOC!

gop needs new script.maga using line gop been using since 1930's calling dems communists.

She's so smart to not take the bait.

Amen. Communism is not a thing in this country. Let's all take a beat. Then blame Trump for this shit show.

Oh give me a break with this persecution crap! Yeah, it's a free country and you can hold whatever views you want. You're also free to say someone else's views are shit if they have shit views. She does it for the far-right, she can do it for the far-left if she wanted to.

Can we stop with the Cold War hangover already?

We do. Our fathers and fathers fought and died to prevent us from falling to communism. It is not the form of government we have and it is not a free country. We used to have laws against communists in any office. Anyone that can’t speak out against communism coming here should be out of office. We are free people.

@AOC is absolutely correct. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

The First Amendment protects a wide range of political beliefs, even those many people strongly disagree with.

@JesseForIndy “We don’t politically prosecute people”

ok but why does she have to say "you can have all sorts of *extreme* groups" in the context of communists to make a point about political freedom lol.

LET THEM KNOW GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT GOES BOTH WAYS!!!

Actually you CAN'T hold whatever views you want in this country as it pertains to communism 👇

She’s so dumb and inarticulate.

@petersterne I never knew that free speech could be controversial. Until I read these comments.

She's right - but anyone affiliated with any organization that is against our Constitution should not be allowed in any government position. You can't take an oath to uphold and defend it when you want to destroy it

What

So all of those posts by left wingers saying that MAGA people should be excluded from society and fired don't count now? Good to know!

Educate us on what communism is like let's hear a definition

@angeleyez407 And the rest of us have the right to never vote for them .

Name me one communist country that hasn't politically persecuted people. I think that's the point.

She will never be president. She tries to play both sides. Both sides will eat her alive. Neither feeling fully respected.

No, that isn't how it works. We are Americans. We want liberty. Small government. American exceptionalism and ffor our Constitutional Republic to stand strong forever. Communists must be defeated and outlawed.

Spot on, she is, as usual.

True! Most people wouldn’t be able to define communism anyway 🤷♂️

Free speech often means defending the right to hold unpopular views, not necessarily agreeing with them.
