3. too bad she couldnt toss him out. late mom had a saying , if you cant say anything nice , dont say

it at all, and if i used that language around the house , from out of the depths of the house would come ," allan01bear , i am going to wash your mouth out of soap." which means you have pushed multiple hot buttons and are in deep doo doo. i like her .

4. She is so good at confronting their BS and putting it in perspective! 👏👏👏

Unfortunately, the cowardly rePukes are probably absent from the room.

5. I wish we had a President who speaks like that.

We did, but the racists and misogynists lost their shit and installed one of the most vile among them to be "president."

Trump is no president, and not a respectable man. Ted Yoho is not a respectable man.

6. Way to go AOC, proud of you!

Yoho is such a joke, the only thing he accomplished in all his years in congress was to pass ONE bill, and that was to rename a post office. Underneath his false bravado is nothing but insecurity, envy & self loathing. Kinda like his dear leader....

7. I hope I live long enough to vote for her for President. nt

17. Same here. nt

8. I see Liberals often using that slur against women, and we are told to lighten up, it is cool.

[ismnotwasm]

9. Yup.

[obamanut2012]

10. I ahve been saying that here and IRL for years

Calling Palin/Ivanka?Melanie/Whateverwoman a bitch, etc. is literally the same as calling every woman that, the same as winking and nudging it's okay to call THOSE women gendered slurs. They "deserve" it.

Skinner and EarlG and Elad were asked a decade ago to ban the use of bitch in reference to a woman and Skinner hemmed and hawed and used the TOS and the alert system as cover.

Is it okay to call Diamond and Silk racist slurs? Ben Carson? No. Then it isn't okay to call anyone, male or female, a bitch.

11. +1. My fav is calling out racism using a sexist slur. I have called that out many times on FB.

Right on and justified call outs of racism only to throw in a little sexism to make the point.

[Ms. Toad]

12. Not just liberals -

but liberals on DU. And those of us who speak out about it - as Ocasio Cortez did - are jeered, rather than cheered.

[LizBeth]

14. +1

[Steelrolled]

19. Politics and hypocrisy travel together

[yardwork]

13. Yep. Thanks for pointing that out.

[greenjar_01]

15. That was the death blow...everything after was just dismembering his body and salting the land

"I have tossed men out of bars that used language like Rep. Yoho's"

Complete destruction.

16. Good for You AOC!

Give it to the Yahoo!

20. She did very well there, yes. Yoho acted like a drunkn bum. nt
