That said "money talks and BS walks" in politics. Amazon.com has money, they do the talking, Comey and Diblasio are listening, two very important democrats. No doubt Clinton and others are also listening. So let's see if AOC is opposed in the next election by a very well funded candidate who wins the Democratic nomination. That is when you will realize they put the knife in her back.



Again, the issue is will she be reelected? The democrats cannot risk offending Muslims, they are critical in elections decided by less than 3%. But that doesn't mean that behind the scenes they have already decided she must go. Again, let's see if she gets reelected? You might think that Muslims would rally behind her, but I doubt it. Her reelection will be very high profile and if she were funded by Islamic organizations it would become a major campaign issue, stir up more heated rhetoric, and bring negative publicity to a minority that does not want negative publicity.

I often hear from Trump voters that they voted for him because they thought Washington was broken and Trump would shake it all up ; drain the swamp and all.

And now they're criticizing AOC and Omar for doing that very same thing. Right for one, wrong for the other.
