I dont expect her or any politician from either side to be able to answer people when they are being shouted at or screamed at or chanted at with obscenities. AOC or any politician is not required to answer questions when a crowd is yelling at her and holding signs that say Fuck AOC. It is the absence of civility and then these same fucktards claim AOC was not answering any questions or not being respectful while they told her to fuck off. really? If you want to stand up and ask an intelligent question based on criticism of policies, ok.... but that one twittard claiming AOC did not answer when she was being screamed out is a perfect example of political discourse lately on either side.
If AOC is not going to answer any questions because she does not believe the crowd is not showing proper respect then she should simply walk off the stage & leave. Instead she chose to dance and mock her constituents which only served to rile up the crowd further -- this is dumb behavior which is not fit for an elected political representative. But... of course this thread is labeled "AOC - can she get any dumber" -- every week she provides additional evidence that she can.
Uh watch the video.... she is jamming to the people screaming and beating drums... in your fantasy world she should scream over the people who are not asking her questions but just shouting she needs to go....those people were not asking her questions, they were screaming and holding signs that said Fuck AOC. So those people's sole purpose was to prevent her from speaking and scream over her and AOC is the wrong here for not answering any questions? wtf kind of logic is this?
I never said she scream over people. She should simply walk off and have her representatives explain to the crowd that unless they show proper civil respect & restraint then the town hall will not proceed. Dancing and brushing off her shoulders to mock the crowd only served to rile up the situation. AOC urged people to disrupt the town hall meetings of Republicans. Now it is coming back to bite her in the rear and she does not like it. The funny part is that her first town hall was interrupted by progressives.
exactly disrupting a town hall does not obligate the person to scream over them and speak when she is being drummed out. it bothers you that she danced to them chanting and beating a drum? Holy shit.....
I never urged that AOC should scream over them. She should do what has been recommended politicians do when an open forum becomes disrespectful -- withdraw from the session. Keep in mind that AOC regularly urged people to disrupt the town halls of Republicans. So this is just the chickens coming home to roost.
yeah keep harping on AOC regularly urging people to disrupt town halls....why is that relevant? My point is that her leaving is to be expected when people scream and chant and bang drums. I would expect any politician to walk out when their town hall event is being disrupted. thus the criticism that she walked out or "danced" to the chants is just stupid. Why is the right and GWB all up in arms that she withdrew and danced a little from a meeting where people were screaming at her, not letting her talk and according to the article, one sign said Fuck AOC. If Cruz was at a town hall and everyone was screaming at him and calling him a cuck, i would assume he would walk out too.
mocking? swaying her shoulders to the beat of the drums they are banging in the middle of her town hall to disrupt it is mocking? Was she supposed to get on her knees and bow down to those amazing people telling her to fuck off? there is too much entitlement going on when we demand a politician be screamed at and told to fuck off and must bow down and sit there. She had some fun with it because it was clear the town hall was done, those people were not going to stop. She showed those loud drum banging fucks as much respect as she was shown. That is how life works
And she is the same person that urged people to do this in the town halls of Republicans. Karma is painful, eh. I am strongly opposed to people not being civil in open town hall meetings. They should have police toss rowdy instigators out and arrest them if they refuse to leave. Also elected politicians --- as recommended -- should simply walk off stage when facing a non-civil, rowdy, threatening crowd and have their representatives explain that the event is cancelled due to their behavior. Riling up the crowd -- like AOC did --- is simply dumb.
