There is an hypocrisy here. I do like AOC and she is right on, but then I have been consistent. I find it incredible watching people cheer AOC as they defend their using the word.

and I hope all DUers will take 10 minutes out of their day to experience this righteous statement made on behalf of all women and girls.

And to Ted Yoho, I can only say enjoy your newfound status as a skidmark, asshole.
