The drama continues about Thursday night's wild exchange between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).
In the wake of that fight, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized the chaos, saying he apologized to Jerry Springer for previously comparing the House to the late host's tawdry show. That caused AOC to have a freakout, claiming that she was standing up for women against bullies, racism, and misogyny.
Nothing AOC did was about "standing up for women" or standing up to bullies. It was all a partisan rant and if she was standing up for women, she wouldn't have tried to go after MTG by calling her "baby girl."
Her response is just childish because she's in the wrong. And no woman can expect any help from her soon. Even now, women are being hurt by the Democrat attack on Title IX, and she's done nothing to help.
But now Fetterman has responded and he just reduced her nonsense to nothing.
“That’s absurd. I was just simply responding to the kind of chaos and everything that Representative Greene started as well,” Fetterman told co-host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked to respond to Ocasio-Cortez’s criticism of him.
“And if everyone on the committee was proud of what they’ve produced, they’re entitled to their opinion. Or if they feel that this is the kind of video that you want to send to a classroom of eighth grade civics kind of students across America, again, that’s their choice,” he added.
He said if they should be pushing back against anything, they should be pushing back against Hamas, which of course the progressive crowd refuses.
Fetterman also managed to get in a bit of a criticism of Joe Biden's waffling when he was asked about the dealing with the Israel question and if he thought Biden was wrong on the issue, "So do you think Joe Biden is wrong, for trying to stop a major Rafah invasion?”
His response was, now Hamas is convinced they don't have to take a deal and he didn't think all the "capitulation" was helpful.
But now Hamas is convinced that they don’t have to. They don’t need to take any kind of a deal except, if anything, on their own terms. I don’t think all of the capitulating and all those kinds of things aren’t helpful. And I don’t think that’s going to convince anyone that is now think that we’re not committed to stand with trying to have both sides on that.”
That sure sounds like a chastisement of Joe Biden's waffling.
Sounds like even though he's still having some issues and sometimes has to rely on a closed-captioning machine to help him understand what's being said to him, he still has far greater clarity than Joe Biden.
