Demagogic Clown: AOC Declares Trump 'Directly Responsible' for El Paso Mass Shooting

Let's begin with a reminder that my position on partisan blame after horrific acts of violence has been quite clear and consistent. I believe it's almost always grossly unfair, and a cheap political smear, to pin mass murder on mainstream ideological opponents, even by implication. Leave it to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to make the least fair point in the dumbest and ugliest way possible. Take it away, lady:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) late Monday said that President Trump's divisive rhetoric on immigration was "directly responsible" for the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas that left at least 22 people dead. The freshman New York congresswoman made the comments while speaking at a vigil in Brooklyn for the victims of the shooting in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, according to the New York Daily News. “I’m tired of the questioning if the president is racist. He is,” Ocasio-Cortez told a crowd of about 500 people, the newspaper noted.

I'm tired of AOC. I truly believe that every word out of her mouth comes from Obama. Sounds crazy but she sounds so much like him in every way. I'm also tired of Obama and his bad comments about President Trump. He had his 8 years and proved a no nothing President. Now he is a billionaire. How does that happen when Presidents are not paid much. Oh right his books - when is he going to turn over his Presidential records like every other President instead of using them to write books for personal gain. I blame the media for all the craziness the American people have been subjected to. I will vote for Trump in 2020. He is the only President who at least is looking out for America in a long time.

Only 15 more months of her. We can tough it out.

That makes Elizabeth Warren responsible for Dayton.
Yes, you're right: The media should stop broadcasting AOC if they want to win next year. She's the current face of the new and improved Democratic Party and she's doing them a huge disservice. Problem is, they don't know it yet.

Does AOC or do any of the left wing radicals for that matter understand the definition of the term racist? Would not many liberal black people also be considered racist given the parameters of their definition? This is not a question of racism or who is or isn't, it is purely a partisan attack on the opposition party. Beto looks and sounds ridiculous with his racist rants; honestly, would any of you out there want this Beto "BOZO" to be president? I said honestly now.

And what about her divisive rhetoric? It is okay for democrats to be hateful and divisive but not conservatives. The dark side is really looking stupid to anyone with a little commons sense. Trump will win again in 2020 because of how they act.
