So well spoken. To the point, with passion and accurate conviction.

She can go make 9/11 jokes off the committee now, oh well.

[Btyler]

Omar should be taken off the committee. Marjorie Taylor Greene needs to go as well. Stop with the tribalism.

Men kept the potential of women like her repressed for millennia... Feminism and the liberation of women like her to contribute to the world will be one of the best things that will ever happen to humans.

This is so cap. I’m an independent and I wouldn’t want representative Omar on the committee. She has said some disturbing things.

[taylorwagner]

to be fair what omar said was pretty anti-semitic. why can she do it but not kanye?

[riod]

A refugee in a hijab that rose to power is what is great about how we have progressed as a nation. When that person rationalized the holocaust and downplays the 9/11 terrorists attacks it sets us back.

The house is turning into a cat fight.

[christineblaszczyk]

We already knew it was a lie. ALL progressives need to watch their backs from both parties. It's not just Republicans you need to be concerned about. We need more progressives in Congress sooner than later. More progressives need to be on the ballots.

... isn't she just admirable? Very well spoken.

[dopeymark]

AOC is so articulate and on point. It amazes me that she is constantly attacked. She is what America needs in Congress. Not these Looney tunes.

[ericmoore]

She is amazing and so intelligent and well spoken 👏

[dr.romeoconfidential]

Keep up the good work ✊🏾
Coexist ✊🏾🌎☮️💙🙏

[GCNMMA]

For the people my age (26) that agree with AOC, I feel sorry for you. It’s all about money to this one as well

[jstnxprsn]

I love this woman. Nailed it perfectly.

[jessedellross]

People say she’s immature and not well spoken? Seriously?

the racist comments towards Omar are well documented and a fact. Pulling the race card is warranted

[mlynne-ucpy]

💠💠🇺🇸💠 not only is racism is still alive & well but creed discrimination against Muslims continues 💠🇺🇸💠💠

[ClaudiusPGreen]

Is there any way to overturn this stupidity? There has to be some way to do this.

[anonnyedward]

She’s really smart and we need more like her fighting the elite for things we really need

With the Republic party (and the Democrat party, but they are not in charge of the House), it's all theatre, grandstanding, virtue signaling, symbolism over substance, and being a snowflake.
