I read this as her calling those trying to paint her as supporting the Israeli military as "neo nazis".

Which is just as bad

I disagree. It would be far worse for her to bring her colleagues down than to call out misinformation from who she perceives to be bad actors.

I think calling anti-genocide people neo-nazis is just as bad

Anti genocide people and people being angry at her on twitter are two different groups. There is overlap, but they are not the same group and not the same subject for this conversation.

Apparently, NOT saying something means you said it.

"Have you stopped hitting your wife yet?"

What is more likely, that MTG actually wanted to stop the genocide, or that she wrote a bill designed to cause chaos?

Does OP have a problem with anyone but AOC?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

ETA has anyone told her that the overwhelming majority of Repubs (read: the actual neo-Nazis) voted with her against the bill?

Also choosing this moment to shill for Google is such a bad face, too
