“The bar for us — the bar for you as a freshman member, the bar for me as a freshman member, the bar for Rashida, Ayanna, everybody — is so much higher than it is normally for a lot of especially mediocre Republican freshmen,” said AOC.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended Ilhan Omar’s vicious rant against US Special Envoy Elliott Abrams Wednesday; saying the Congresswoman’s outrageous accusations of ‘Venezuelan Genocide’ felt “like justice.”
“Ilhan Omar is a Somali refugee. She has felt the ravages of war. Watching her question Trump’s envoy to VZ, who pled guilty to several Iran-Contra crimes, feels like justice,” tweeted Cortez.
