This ‘new breed’ of young democrat congress women - feisty firebrands when spouting their inane rhetoric but suddenly turning into damsels indistress when theyre called on their bs.

Trump is pointing out facts, not instigating violence.

The idea that politicians should have immunity from criticism is the invention of the fascist left - and selectively applied.

Rep. Ilhan Omar says she's faced increased death threats since President Donald Trump spread around a video

Trump is an expert at marketing. Look at how he's marketed Trump U and his failed casinos. He knows how effective videos are (learned from Goebbels and L. Riefenstahl?) and that many among his base will blindly follow him.

He and those in his regime like little Stephen Miller continue to push agendas intended to further divide Trump's base, especially those in his demographic, from those in different demographics.

The Right is going to have to come to terms with their Islamophobia at some point. Fox News can't keep openly "questioning loyalties" just because someone is Muslim. And Trump has to stop spreading lies.

Rep. Ilhan Omar needs to stop trying to encourage hate, and violence. I suspect that her constituents will not be returning the hate-mongering Omar to Congress after her term is up. I wouldn't be surprised if the hate-mongering Omar were to be impeached before her term expires.

Ahhh, the FNC attack again. Of course the network can question loyalties, the have Shep Smith working there, should there goes that argument. Her being a Muslim has nothing to do with anything. If Rosie O’Donnell had said the same thing, the condemnation would be equally as fierce. Context, optics and words matter. This has absolutely nothing to do with the President. Omar made those remarks, the accountability lays with her.

President Trump is not, never has been, either a diplomat or a politician.

President Trump has no experience of political office. This political media campaign to hound and smear is being waged against the entire Democratic Party. President Trump has a ruthlessly effective team of media analysts and advisers.

The Democrats wil need to be a whole lot smarter than just calling President Trump out.

Ilhan Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib own rhetoric and protestations are being utilised with commandingly potent results to lambaste and pillory the Democratic Party as a whole.

To politically tar and feather all Democrat politicians.

Sarah Sanders is an example.....

"I think it's a good thing that the president is calling her out for those comments and the big question is why aren't the Democrats doing it,"

Left-wing extremism has to stop too.

Nobody should be threatened for their political views and speaking about those views, unless they are talking about harming others. Hating a stance is very different than hating a person. One is part of the political process.

Every mainstream group has a side-group of crazies, it seems.

Victimhood mentality and rhetoric from a political perspective can be as negative as much as bring about positive change.

To constantly be bombarded with a whining aggrieved form of identity politics is more than likely going antagonise and irritate, even though driven by noble intent. Apologise if that offends,

The civil liberties attached to minority groups when viewed in the context of national mainstream political campaigning, contributes to but does not necessarily win Presidential elections

It sure does, but this topic is not about that, it's about trump posting things that incite hatred and violence.

The whole tragedy, the loss of life, the national conscience of animosity towards the perpetrators of 9/11 will forever be an open wound.

Politically a Pandora box of agony and pain. In respect to the families of the victims, party polities has no place so best to leave well alone.

Ocasio-Cortez should distance herself from the Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, she is progressive avantguard logic speaking politician with interest in American social justice for all while the other two are interested in a very narrow set of issues of their own segregationist interest much harmful to the unity of the country they are trying to destabilize.

Being the subject of death threats is hardly bs.

The other day by a liberal media TV show who thought it would be cute to put assassinate, President, Trump in order in a tweeted list.

just an oversight or something, oops sorry. Not inciting at all.

Strangerland - It sure does, but this topic is not about that, it's about trump posting things that incite hatred and violence.

It's also about Omar's vicious attempts to incite hatred, and violence, as well as her refusal to accept responsibility for her own actions. I expect her constituents will correct their mistaken vote for her at their earliest opportunity.
