Do you think marching with Islamic Jihad supporters, taking over University commons from coast to coast hoisting swastikas, chanting "From The River To The Sea" in every major American city all through last Spring and Summer scared the absolute bejeesus outta just middle America, or all of it? AOC should start her own "Squad Party".
