  It’s also about targeting people who habitually tell the truth about US policy and it’s ramifications at home and abroad. She was booted cuz she can’t be bought by corporate interest.
context: the GOP should worry about Santos and Gaetz, to start >
  
  Santos was awarded two committee assignments.    
  Sure, he stepped down.. but the fact that a known lying Freshman Republican got a spot over others just shows they have absolutely nobody of good character or integrity elected to the House this cycle. >
  
  Not to mention two purple hearts >
  
  And a Nobel Prize for Mathematics >
  
  And the "Most Truthful Guy Ever" award. >
  
  Has he been awarded the Congressional Medal Of Fucking Over Voters because he took the cake and should be a star on pornhub. >
  
  AOC: "This is about targeting women of color"
  GOP: "And?" >
  
  I think that the people wearing swastikas with their Trump 2024 shirts are a bit more antisemitic that anything she said. >
  
  Or MTG “joking” that a Jewish tour group at the US Capitol was performing “reconnaissance.”  But nah, “all about the Benjamins” is where the GQP draws the line. >
  
  I assume this is simply something McCarthy was forced to concede in the three-page secret document that allowed him to become Speaker. Some racist demanded this concession and McCarthy didn’t oppose it. 
  At some point, the three pages of concessions will be exhausted, and then McCarthy’s usefulness will cease to exist.
  EDIT: McCarthy had to make additional concessions recently to get enough Republican voters to pass this. 😂 >
  
  MTG is speaker in all but name. >
  
  The hand behind the puppet. >
  
  The party at AIPAC is gonna be wild! >
  
  A woman of color AND a muslim AND a democrat - checks almost all the white supremacist fundie boxes >
  
  But don't worry the GOP has a Muslim woman of color in the House, so they can't be racist. Her name, in case you were wondering, is George Santos. >
  
  Oh, I met her once! Super nice lady, told me if I gave her all my money she'd exchange it for Iraqi dinars, and you know how they're about to explode in value. >
  
  Ilhan Omar didn't even make any kind of antisemitic statements.  She criticized Isreael the government, not the Jewish people. >
  
  Truth is a defense against charges of slander. >
  
  Got it, so anti-Semitic and racist remarks are okay if they're "true"? >
  
  I'm saying if something is a fact it's not racist or antisemitic.
  Harvey Weinstein is Jewish. He's also a sexual predator. Calling him a sexual predator isn't racist or antisemitic. >
  
  That's because he is only one and not a group >
  
  Right but if it's a fact that a a group like AIPAC is influencing American political policy, it's not antisemitic or racist to state as such. >
  
  Then you should complain about all lobbyists >
  
  When they're representing corporations or foreign governments I absolutely do, lobbying groups made up of regular citizens or tradesman I support to even the paying field until and unless all lobbying is abolished. >
  
  Aipac is funded by Americans so is it representative of a foreign government? Also consider that aipac has criticized Israel before >
  
  It's about what she says and how she says it. They cannot stand a difference of opinion. >
  
  
  Yeah... I'm pretty sure it's more cuz she's Muslim, but yeah, women too
  
  quoted from the thread >
  
  GOP, scientifically ignorant religious bigots, misogynists, homophobes and racists. >
  
  I love her willingness to call this out openly.
  If anything she was still more, diplomatic about it than I probably would have been in such a situation. >
  
  Yet they keep the lying sack of shit Santos! WTH? >
  
  Counterpoint: it's not about removing her because she's a woman of color, it's about removing her because forcefully left-wing. If Ilhan Omar had all the same opinions as idiots like Candace Owens or Shukri Abdirahman, they absolutely would have let her keep her seat. >
  
  We wouldn't have this abortion and birth control and CRT obsession on the right if Republicans had no interest in targeting women specifically and people of color specifically. They would not be a thing.
