AOC, cool as a cucumber:

These homophobes were yelling Westboro Baptist-style anti-LGBT+ slogans. What do you think I’m gonna do? Take them seriously?😂💃🏽🪩

If you want to associate w/ their views, that’s your business.

But NY-14 will ALWAYS have a champion for LGBTQ+ people on my watch. Period. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💕

I hope she enrages them even more because there is no reasoning with that mob of imbeciles.

On the other hand, I have nagging fears that AOC will be assassinated. Some right-wing looney tune will come at her like that wacko did to Gabby Giffords. I consider AOC one of America's bravest people because she knows that such a scenario can unfold and yet she makes these sorts of public appearances to spread the word despite the risk it entails.

She did a little dance to their beats. If I was playing a drum and someone danced I would run as fast as I could in the other direction with my head down.



Let’s talk about Roe v Wade, reducing the debt, jobs, health care, schools and saving democracy at home and in the world.

No idea the context but if it works in her district - awesome.

Of course, they've learned from the best how to tantrum.
