Learn how to use the internet, and how to properly source things. Twitter is not a “source.” Twitter is a platform.

The source is the author of the tweet, and/or whatever they are linking or quote tweeting. The validity and reliability of the source varies according to the quote their methods and accuracy of what they are saying.

Not knowing or understanding these BASIC things about the internet and social media makes you a perfect target for the disinformation and propaganda you willingly spread.

Are you even ON Twitter?

God, you're lazy. Here, just for you, Colonel Runaway, is the video of Rep Higgins (R) attacking Raya Slater who appeared before the committee Higgins and AOC sit on.

Here's the link to the Huffington Post article about it.

Really rich. He called her "boo". Could be a term of endearment if they were dating, but uh ... when you're using it that way in that setting, for a black woman, clearly meant as a slight and term of derision.

About the same as if she had been a man and he called her "boy".

His “but what was she wearing” mentality begins here.

Misogyny is the air this person breathes.

Twitter has plenty of reliable sources. This s an extremely ignorant comment. It’s used by journalists, politicians and all major media outlets. There’s even a video at that link.

Unless I missed it nowhere in the link was what the title of this thread suggests.
Only a rebuke from AOC the least qualified and accomplished Democrat in Congress.

So without seeing the actual so called attack you I along with everyone else can't comment on it.
Especially knowing that according to the left questioning a liberal about her record is considered an attack

It was a heated exchange nothing attacking about it aside from his tone and demeanor. I also noticed she refused to answer the question.

Do you understand why you’re referred to as a clown in these parts? You constantly question topics you don’t like the reality of and when you’re provided with direct linked sources you pretend you didn’t see it and keep on trucking with ignorance, or you run away. This is your behavior, over and over.

I assume you have a Congressional ranking list to back up that assertion, too. :roll: (I know you don't.)

... the entire exchange has already been posted in this thread. It is there to see/read. Please stop.

I have no problem with him challenging her assertions, even if I find it a little bit hilarious how he as always turned to the Bible as supposedly refuting her. (Erroneously.)

Also, BTW, he listed a whole bunch of things she was supposedly wearing made from petrochemicals. He was wrong on most of that list. They either aren't, or at least don't have to be, made from those.

All that aside, for any with - what's that word - objectivity? - it's also fairly obvious he was belittling and demeaning her, talking down to her despite her credentials, plus he called her "boo". THAT is the real issue AOC raised.

Conservative white males get really nervous when not-white women talk back, or otherwise don't comply.

That is pretty comical considering that every African American conservative is considered a race traitor by most liberals including most here

"Race traitor" is white-supremacist rhetoric.

Only white supremacists use it.

White supremacists also get really angry when not-white men talk back or don't comply.

How many towns did you guys burn down because someone was rumored to talk back, or not comply, or because white woman said "rape."

I've never called anyone a ''Race Traitor". Those are the words that Glenn uses.

Hm, careful...your goosestepping MAGA confederate offline friends might consider you a race traitor just by talking to me, at all.

I do not recommend that path. Conservative whites are lethal, starting with their own.

Starting in the mirror.

You should look up what conservative whites do to people they label race traitors. The way you guys treat race traitors lets everyone else know how you're going to treat the rest of us.

These beautiful martyrs took their lives in their hands knowing they'd have to endure petty epithets like race traitor and niggerlover from slavery-flag guys like you.

But also far worse, knowing that you guys would just shoot them dead on sight, for advocating for civil rights. You guys murdered race traitors first, even before murdering us.

White Minister Beaten Following Selma March, Dies from Injuries - EJI, on this day March 11

Jonathan Daniels wiki, murdered by conservative whites while a seminarian training for Episcopalian ministry

Bob Zellner - SNCC Digital Gateway. This guy took it on the jaw as a race traitor, and also surviving the SNCC purge of white activists in the mid-laate 60s. He is a social media friend of mine.

David Fankhouser WCPO, Freedom Rider who got the shit beat out of him for being a niggerlover

James Peck - King Institute, Stanford U. Another guy who got beaten to a pulp by violent conservative whites while on the initial Freedom Rides

Genevieve Hughes - Freedom Riders 1960s

Yes and he trots out this race-traitor ideology against you, regularly. Ex: viewtopic.php?p=35127#p35127

This guy keeps asserting that a not-white person who disagrees with a fellow not-white conservative person is calling them "race traitor." :roll: :? :problem:

In reality, conservative whites beat and kill race traitors. They have an extremely violent history of it. Anyone in doubt can look at what they did to Heather Heyer in Charlottesville.
