Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said during a press conference on Sunday that Democrats must be open to all options in their attempts to stop President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) from filling the Supreme Court seat that was vacated last week.
&#8220;Congresswoman, you mentioned being open to all ideas to buy time,&#8221; a reporter said to Ocasio-Cortez. &#8220;Would you be in support of potentially reviewing talks of impeachment hearings either against the attorney general or the president?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, you know, I think—I believe that certainly there has been an enormous amount of law-breaking in the Trump administration. I believe that Attorney General Barr is unfit for office and that he has pursued potentially law-breaking behavior,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez claimed. &#8220;That being said, these are procedures and decisions that are largely up to House Democratic leadership. But I believe that also we must consider, again, all of the tools available to our disposal, and that all of these options should be entertained and on the table.&#8221;

The remarks from Ocasio-Cortez, 30, follow similar remarks that were made earlier in the day by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos.
“Some have mentioned the possibility, if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session, that you and the House could move to impeach President Trump or Attorney General Barr as a way of stalling and preventing the Senate from acting on this nomination,” Stephanopoulos said.
Pelosi responded: “Well, we have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now.”
Later in the interview, Stephanopoulos again pressed on the issue, asking, “But to clear, you’re not taking any arrows out of your quiver, you’re not ruling anything out?”
Pelosi responded: “Good morning. Sunday morning. The, uh, we have a responsibility, we take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We have a responsibility to meet the needs of the American people, uh, that, uh, is, uh, when the we weigh the equities of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow in our quiver.”

A new Marquette Law School national survey found that solid majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents want Supreme Court hearings to happen if a seat becomes vacant during an election year.
“In this poll, conducted in the days before Ginsburg’s death, a substantial majority of respondents of both parties say that if a vacancy occurred during the 2020 election year, the Senate should hold hearings on a nominee, with 67 percent saying hearings should be held and 32 percent saying they should not be held,” Marquette Law School <a href="https://law.marquette.edu/poll/2020/09/19/public-views-of-justice-ginsburg-and-appointments-to-the-supreme-court/">said</a>. “Views on holding hearings do not vary much by partisanship.”

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/19/us/politics/aoc-ruth-bader-ginsburg.html">The New York Times</a> in an interview Saturday that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden should refrain from releasing a list of potential Supreme Court nominees in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death because it could divide the Democratic Party ahead of the election.
“On his list are individuals like Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz – Tom Cotton famously supporting bringing in the military to potentially endanger the lives of people exercising their first amendment rights. This is incredibly scary, that that kind of perspective could replace a vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
She also said that “right now, it’s less about motivating people around a specific individual to be named to that court” and that Democrats could remain “highly motivated” by the thought of protecting the vacancy for a new president.
“I don’t think releasing a list of names really adds to that, and in fact, I think it could risk demoralizing and dividing our party,” Ocasio-Cortez added.
President Donald Trump has vowed to nominate a woman to fill the vacancy left by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died from cancer on Friday, a promise that draws attention to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-scotus-pick-will-be-a-woman-here-are-12-possibilities">dozen women on his list of potential Supreme Court nominees</a>.
Biden, on the other hand, has called for the Supreme Court seat to remain vacant until after the election, banking on a victory that would put him in the position to fill a rare appointment at the start of his presidency, should he be elected.
Back in 2016, Biden said that, in the past, he has made it “absolutely clear” he would proceed with a Supreme Court nomination process, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-in-2016-president-has-constitutional-duty-to-fill-vacant-supreme-court-seat">even a few months before a presidential election</a>, if the nominee were chosen with the advice and not merely the consent of the Senate. Just as the Constitution requires.”
The Democratic presidential nominee has not given any indication as to who he would nominate to fill the vacancy, but back at the Democratic presidential debate against Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) earlier this year, Biden promised to “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-biden-claims-he-will-choose-female-vp-appoint-first-black-woman-to-the-courts">appoint the first black woman to the courts</a>.” Several months later, Biden said his team was “putting together a list of African American women who are qualified and have the experience to be on the court” and would release it “further down the line,” according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/20/attention-bidens-earlier-pledge-nominate-black-woman-supreme-court-increases/">The Washington Post</a>.
During remarks Sunday afternoon, Biden explicitly declined to release a list of potential Supreme Court nominees and falsely claimed that the Trump campaign has only called on him to release a nominee list in the aftermath of Ginsburg’s death.
“It’s no wonder the Trump campaign asked that I release a list only after she passed away,” remarked Biden. “It&#8217;s a game for them. It’s a play to gin up emotions and anger.”
Earlier this month, before Ginsburg’s death, Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMP8pSI0WPI">said</a> that Biden was refusing to release such a list, “perhaps because he knows the names are so extremely far left that they could never withstand public scrutiny or receive acceptance.”
“He must release a list of justices for people to properly make a decision as to how they will vote,” continued Trump, adding: “It is very important that he do so.”

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reportedly went further than any other justice in voicing her displeasure that the Supreme Court had only eight justices following the death of Antonin Scalia in 2016 — an election year — calling it &#8220;not a good number.&#8221;
&#8220;The comments mark the furthest a sitting justice has gone, since the sudden death of the late Justice Antonin Scalia earlier this year, to signal that the court would function better with a fully staffed bench,&#8221; CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/05/26/politics/ruth-bader-ginsburg-eight-justices/index.html">reported</a>. &#8220;Ginsburg was giving an end of the term report to an audience of mostly judges of the Second Circuit Judicial Conference in New York.&#8221;
Ginsburg&#8217;s resurfaced remark follows her passing late last week after she lost her the fight against her fifth bout with cancer.
“That means no opinions and no precedential value; an equal division is essentially the same as a denial of review,” Ginsburg <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/eight-is-not-a-good-number-for-the-supreme-court-ginsburg-says/2016/05/26/3fa51666-237f-11e6-aa84-42391ba52c91_story.html">said</a> on the issue of the Supreme Court only having eight justices. “Eight, as you know, is not a good number for a multi-member court.”
Ginsburg&#8217;s resurfaced opinion also comes after she allegedly told her granddaughter that her dying wish was that a &#8220;new president&#8221; would be the one to replace her.
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” Ginsburg allegedly said.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-threatens-packing-supreme-court-in-response-to-mcconnell-trump-being-in-violation-of-rbg-wish">threatened</a> that Democrats may pack the court with leftist judges if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and President Donald Trump fill her seat because, as Ocasio-Cortez says, they would be in &#8220;violation of her dying wish.&#8221;
The Supreme Court released the following <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ruth-bader-ginsburgs-dying-wish-revealed-in-statement-to-granddaughter">statement</a> in response to Ginsburg’s death:
<blockquote>Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this evening surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, D.C., due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. She was 87 years old. Justice Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Clinton in 1993. She was the second woman appointed to the Court and served more than 27 years. She is survived by her two children: Jane Carol Ginsburg (George Spera) and James Steven Ginsburg (Patrice Michaels), four grandchildren: Paul Spera (Francesca Toich), Clara Spera (Rory Boyd), Miranda Ginsburg, Abigail Ginsburg, two step-grandchildren: Harjinder Bedi, Satinder Bedi, and one greatgrandchild: Lucrezia Spera. Her husband, Martin David Ginsburg, died in 2010.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. said of Justice Ginsburg: “Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
Justice Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, March 15, 1933. She married Martin D. Ginsburg in 1954. She received her B.A. from Cornell University, attended Harvard Law School, and received her LL.B. from Columbia Law School. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable Edmund L. Palmieri, Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, from 1959- 1961. From 1961- 1963, she was a research associate and then associate director of the Columbia Law School Project on International Procedure. She was a Professor of Law at Rutgers University School of Law from 1963-1972, and Columbia Law School from 1972- 1980, and a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in Stanford, California from 1977-1978. In 1971, she was instrumental in launching the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, and served as the ACLU’s General Counsel from 1973-1980, and on the National Board of Directors from 1974-1980. She was appointed a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1980. During her more than 40 years as a Judge and a Justice, she was served by 159 law clerks.
While on the Court, the Justice authored My Own Words (2016), a compilation of her speeches and writings.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) threatened that Democrats should consider packing the Supreme Court if Republicans move to fill the seat vacated by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/09/18/100306972/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-champion-of-gender-equality-dies-at-87">reported</a> that Ginsburg “dictated” the following statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
&#8220;The very last dying wish of RBG was that her vacancy not be filled until the new president takes office in January. That was her dying wish,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said on Friday. &#8220;Tonight, Mitch McConnell publicly, the night of her passing, he couldn’t wait 24 hours, issued a statement saying that he was going to give Trump a vote in violation of her dying wish.&#8221;
On Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez said that Democrats should &#8220;absolutely&#8221; consider packing the court, adding, &#8220;we should leave all options on the table, including the number of justices that are on the Supreme Court.&#8221;
Independent Women&#8217;s Forum President Carrie Lukas dismantled the notion that Ginsburg&#8217;s wish should be brought into consideration in nominating a new Supreme Court justice.
&#8220;I&#8217;ll add on RBG: If reports of her &#8216;last wish&#8217; are true, then she had a fundamental misunderstanding of her role,&#8221; Lukas <a href="https://twitter.com/carrielukas/status/1307137282605023234">wrote</a>. &#8220;She didn&#8217;t own her seat – merely had the privilege of filling it for many, many years – and had no business telling the political branches how it should be filled.&#8221;

In an interview with The New York Times, Ocasio-Cortez warned that Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden should not release a list of names of possible Supreme Court replacements because it could damage the party.
&#8220;I think that Democratic voters, right now, it’s less about motivating people around a specific individual to be named to that court,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I think we are highly motivated about just making sure that vacancy is protected and preserved for the next president. I don’t think releasing a list of names really adds to that, and in fact, I think it could risk demoralizing and dividing our party.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez also appeared to question how legitimate American democracy was, saying that the fact that a duly elected Senate majority leader could exercise power that shapes the nation raises serious questions about &#8220;how democratic many of our institutions are.&#8221;
“We have nine unelected Supreme Court justices, and they have lifetime terms, and the majority leader, any given majority leader in the Senate, can manipulate rules and leverage their position of power to deny even a president the ability to appoint a justice,” she said. “I think one of the things that it prompts a lot of people to do is actually question how democratic many of our institutions are.”

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, launched an outrageous attack on those in &#8220;the political middle&#8221; on Friday, claiming without evidence that they are &#8220;willing to sacrifice immigrants.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez made the shocking attack while specifically talking about the need for her supporters to register to vote and show up to the polls.
&#8220;I’m not here to dismiss you. I’m not here to poo-poo you. I’m not here to say you’re wrong or that you’re a bad person,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What I’m here to say is that this year, this election, voting for Joe Biden is not about whether you agree with him. It’s a vote to let our democracy live another day. That’s what this is about.&#8221;
&#8220;We need to act in solidarity and protection for the most vulnerable people in our society who have already experienced the violent repercussions of this administration. And the reason we need to do that is because yes, the political middle is willing to sacrifice immigrants,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez claimed. &#8220;The political middle too often is willing to play both sides when someone dies to police violence. Absolutely. That’s why we need to show up.&#8221;
&#8220;We need to show up because if we don’t show up, those people don’t get protected,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;Our trans brothers and sisters will not be protected. Our immigrant brothers and sisters will not be protected. Our brothers and sisters who are not making a living wage, that are working at McDonald’s and that they aren’t being paid a living wage, or they’re working at Amazon and they’re being forced to work in unsafe conditions, we gotta show up for them.&#8221;

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) expressed confidence on Tuesday that the far-left wing of her party will be able to push Democratic nominee Joe Biden &#8220;in a more progressive direction&#8221; if he becomes president.
Speaking with <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/ocasio-cortez-we-can-likely-push-biden-more-progressive-direction-if-hes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Just The News</a> on Capitol Hill, Ocasio-Cortez said she agreed with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that Biden is not liberal enough. Regarding Sanders, she said, &#8220;We&#8217;re different people, and clearly I, in the primary, one of the reasons why I was supportive of Senator Sanders was because of how progressive his stances are, but, you know, the primaries are over, and right now what is most important is to make sure that we ensure a Democratic victory in November and that we continue to push Vice President Biden on issues from marijuana to climate change to foreign policy.&#8221;

&#8220;I think, overall, we can likely push Vice President Biden in a more progressive direction across policy issues,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I think foreign policy is an enormous area where we can improve; immigration is another one. Criminal justice is another area where we can pursue a lot of progressive direction.&#8221;
&#8220;There are some areas where we just fundamentally disagree, but that&#8217;s okay. I think it&#8217;s important to acknowledge that we can have, in some cases, very large disagreements — it doesn&#8217;t mean that we&#8217;re trying to undermine the party or undermine each other.

Both Harris and Biden made headlines this week for referring to &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oops-biden-accidentally-refers-to-harris-biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Harris-Biden administration</a>,&#8221; prompting critics to allege that even Biden sees himself as playing second fiddle to his running mate.
Biden, who would be the oldest president ever to take office, has described himself as a transition candidate who will likely <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-signals-hell-only-serve-one-term" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">not seek a second term</a>.
During a July speech at the birthplace of the Republican Party in Ripon, Wisconsin, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-is-a-trojan-horse-for-a-radical-agenda-mike-pence-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vice President Mike Pence said</a>, &#8220;Joe Biden has referred to himself as a transition candidate. But many were asking across this country, &#8216;A transition to what?'&#8221;
“It’s not so much whether America will be more conservative or more liberal, more Republican or Democrat, more red or blue. It’s whether America remains America,” Pence also said, and characterized the choice Americans face this November as “two paths, one based on the dignity of every individual, and the other on the growing control of the State.”
“When you consider Joe Biden’s agenda and his embrace of the radical Left, it’s clear: Joe Biden would be nothing more than an autopen president,” Pence predicted. “A Trojan horse for a radical agenda; so radical, so all-encompassing, that it would transform this country into something utterly unrecognizable.”

Joe Biden AOC

‘We Can Likely Push’ Biden To The Left If He Wins, AOC Says

Bernie Sanders

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) expressed confidence on Tuesday that the far-left wing of her party will be able to push Democratic nominee Joe Biden

‘We Can Likely Push’ Biden To The Left If He Wins, AOC Says | The Daily Wire

https://editorial.dailywire.com/news/we-can-likely-push-biden-to-the-left-if-he-wins-aoc-says/

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/09/pjimage-6-1200x720.jpg

Former Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s top competition for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), is privately expressing concerns that Biden is about to blow his chances at winning the 2020 presidential campaign — and unless Biden makes some big changes, Sanders is worried that progressives, who&#8217;ve committed to backing Biden&#8217;s bid, will jump ship.
The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bernie-sanders-expresses-concerns-about-biden-campaign/2020/09/12/a0ccc4fa-f4a1-11ea-b796-2dd09962649c_story.html">Washington Post reports</a> that Sanders has &#8220;told associates that Biden is at serious risk of coming up short in the November election if he continues his vaguer, more centrist approach, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive talks.&#8221;
Sanders is chiefly concerned that the younger, more progressive wing of the party isn&#8217;t getting the attention &#8220;it deserves,&#8221; per The Washington Post, and that Biden has sacrificed the future of the party — Democratic socialists and far-left Millennial and Generation Z voters — in order to win a larger percentage of the electorate.
Sanders would prefer, sources tell The Washington Post, that Biden tack left in the last few weeks before the election.
&#8220;The senator has identified several specific changes he’d like to see,&#8221; the outlet notes, &#8220;saying Biden should talk more about health care and about his economic plans, and should campaign more with figures popular among young liberals, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).&#8221;
Biden has been purposefully avoiding Ocasio-Cortez and other more progressive Democrats, largely because the progressive agenda doesn&#8217;t play well with the demographic segments Biden needs to recover from President Donald Trump in order to win in battleground states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — and far-left ideas are still new to voters in other, newer swing states like Arizona and Nevada.
The strategy is, of course, noticeable: Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), have both tacked right since being confirmed as the 2020 Democratic presidential ticket. Neither has expressed outright support even for positions that younger, more liberal Democrats see as top priorities, like defunding and disbanding police departments and committing significant resources to racial justice. Neither has expressed a willingness to replace the current Affordable Care Act with a more comprehensive &#8220;Medicare-for-All&#8221; type system, and Biden seems to echo Trump, not Sanders, on issues like trade, infrastructure, and manufacturing.
Sanders may not be the right person to give advice, regardless, as he commanded a smaller percentage of the primary electorate in 2019-2020 than he did in 2016, drawing fewer voters overall — though he did succeed in some early contests where the Democratic field was particularly crowded.
As for Biden&#8217;s willingness to listen to Sanders, it seems, according to Sanders&#8217; team, that they&#8217;ve largely decided to ignore Sanders&#8217; suggestions.
“Senator Sanders is confident that Joe Biden is in a very strong position to win this election, but nevertheless feels there are areas the campaign can continue to improve upon,&#8221; a Sanders spokesperson told media. &#8220;He has been in direct contact with the Biden team and has urged them to put more emphasis on how they will raise wages, create millions of good paying jobs, lower the cost of prescription drugs and expand health care coverage.&#8221;

DC Comics is releasing a new graphic novel celebrating the &#8220;Wonder Women of History,&#8221; and included among 17 female &#8220;real-world heroes&#8221; will be leftist darlings Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and even former presidential candidate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
The list of &#8220;Wonder Women of History&#8221; also includes Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, tennis star Serena Williams, Beyonce, and alternative comedian Tig Notaro, as well as a number of social justice activists. No conservative women were included.
&#8220;Beyoncé, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Serena Williams, and more will be spotlighted by DC as in the upcoming anthology &#8216;Wonder Women of History.&#8217; Taking a cue from its popular superhero Wonder Woman, DC will spotlight 17 real-world heroes in the fields of science, social justice activism, politics, sports, and entertainment,&#8221; <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/wonder-woman-wonder-women-of-history-ruth-bader-ginsburg-beyonce/">according to Games Radar</a>.
&#8220;Wonder Woman has been an inspiration for decades, and while not everyone would choose her star-spangled outfit for themselves, her compassion and fairness are worthy of emulation,&#8221; DC&#8217;s website notes, according to <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/09/04/dcs-wonder-women-of-history-will-feature-real-world-heroes-including-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-and-rashida-tlaib/">Bounding Into Comics</a>. The graphic novel features 17 separate stories &#8211;“tales of the real-world heroes who take up Diana’s mantle and work in the fields of science, social justice activism, diplomacy and more!”
The anthology has an all-female creative team, led by Laurie Halse Anderson, best known for her young-adult novels. Each individual entry into the anthology will be written and drawn by a team of female-identifying and nonbinary individuals. The book will also include &#8220;pin-ups.&#8221;
Both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have appeared in comic books before, though not in works released by a major comic book publisher like DC.
Bounding Into Comics notes that &#8220;Devil’s Due published Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: New Party, Who Dis?, in an attempt &#8216;to create something that celebrates the fresh new energy and diversity of the stagnated legislative body, and help some good causes at the same time.'&#8221; The &#8220;Notorious RBG&#8221; has her own <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Female-Force-Ruth-Bader-Ginsburg/dp/1948216914">biographical graphic novel</a>, and is the subject of at least two other independent comic books, &#8220;Becoming RBG&#8221; and &#8220;I Dissent,&#8221; a comic book aimed at empowering young girls.
DC&#8217;s iconic Wonder Woman has been the subject of some controversy of late, largely because DC Comics has been working to expand the franchise among social justice activists. Last month, DC announced that it would commission several variant covers for the official &#8220;Wonder Woman 1984&#8221; comic book to go along with the feature film, &#8220;Wonder Woman 1984,&#8221; due out in theaters in late 2020 or early 2021 (it is currently scheduled for release in late October, but that is subject to change because of coronavirus-related restrictions on movie theaters).
At least one version of the cover, depicting Diana as something of a hipster received produced &#8220;extremely negative reactions&#8221; among fans of the character, <a href="https://bleedingcool.com/comics/robin-eisenberg-responds-wonder-woman-1984-rooster-teeth-reaction/">according to Bleeding Cool</a>.
The &#8220;Wonder Women of History&#8221; anthology will hit comic book stores in early December.

“If children have a problem, it is society that is at fault. There is no such thing as society. There is living tapestry of men and women and people and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take responsibility for ourselves and each of us prepared to turn round and help by our own efforts those who are unfortunate.”
These words, <a href="https://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/106689">spoken</a> by Margaret Thatcher in 1987, explored the virtue of individual responsibility and the iniquity of evading such responsibility. The notion of taking responsibility for oneself, family, and community is central to the ideology underpinning American conservatism. Reflecting this principle is the American Left’s alternative, which aims to explicitly encourage individuals to avoid responsibility by placing all responsibility (and therefore blame for any failures) upon others, whether on an individual, group, or abstract level.
On an individual level, we witness such attempts on a daily basis. President Donald Trump has become the Left’s ultimate scapegoat, the source of all our ills, and therefore the sole target for electoral elimination. Deeply complex issues like poverty, racism, and crime are diluted to the point where all was supposedly perfect before Trump, and all will be perfect after Trump. For example, in recent days Trump has been blamed for the violence gripping cities under Democratic control across the United States, as if he controls rioters like puppets on a string.
On a group level, the same strategy is applied to wider collections of individuals, grouped by a particular — and often irrelevant — variable. There are the wealthy, usually categorized by possessing slightly more money than the very politicians who aim to present their success as evidence of the “greed” which requires the existence of the poor and the homeless. There are those who suffer from “white fragility,” whose race provides them with an unverifiable and yet somehow undeniable level of ignorance and bigotry on which is built an entire system of racism responsible for all levels of inequality or inequity between races. Of course, there are those whose minority status is no longer valid due to their disproportionate “success.” If your identity group counters the Left’s intersectional view of victimhood, you are then subject to the same criticism, such as the argument that our petulant insistence on maintaining the right to self-determination is the cause of all tensions in the Middle East.
On an abstract level, the topic of blame becomes intentionally over-broad. “History” is to blame for the breakdown in current systems. “Privilege” provides critics with an assumed diagnosis which can be referenced as reason for disagreement. “Unconscious bias” sidesteps the pesky need to explain the existence of inequalities without the existence of conscious decisions.
The common thread shared by the evasion of responsibility by blaming individuals, groups, or abstract concepts is the desire to conclude that certain individuals are to blame for the choices or actions of others. The objective is to entice those for whom taking personal responsibility would result in the uncomfortable realization of fault, and comfort them with the fantasy that they are not to blame after all. If you can preempt the potential future mistakes of some individuals by convincing them that, by nature of immutable characteristics such as race or gender, they are stuck behind the proverbial 8 ball, then you have succeeded in creating a reliable — and politically advantageous — cycle of blame and blamelessness.
It’s important to acknowledge that unfairness, inequity, and inequality are unfortunate realities of our world. Some differences between people are forced upon them by those who seek to gain from discrimination, and these are cases which we should condemn and address. Others exist between people as a result of inherent characteristics like strength, beauty, or intelligence, and while everyone should have the opportunity to pursue their desires, nature will always disappoint some who assume a right to equality of outcome. Those who disagree should answer why the Green Bay Packers have refused to sign me as quarterback.
However, the relevant differences when it comes to the cult of blame promulgated by the American Left rely solely on the outcomes of choices we make as individuals. Their blatant attempt to pander to certain voter blocs by absolving them of any form of personal responsibility is not only intellectually dishonest, it is deeply bigoted. With the goal of harboring votes, they treat communities which are experiencing real problems as incapable of making sound choices. Those in poverty exist because there are those who are wealthy. Those who steal are innocent victims acting out of necessity. Those who commit acts of violence are victims of a system which leaves them with no choice but to act violently.

This bigotry of low expectations is fundamental to this evasion of responsibility. Those whose votes the Democrats desire cannot possibly survive without their help, and are therefore deemed blameless for their own choices and actions simply because of their race, their gender, or their religion.
If we truly wish to achieve societal equality, we must understand that this requires equality of expectations. We are not puppets on a string, or slaves to the circumstances of our existence. We are individuals with free will, who are blessed with the ability to determine our actions and choices. Such freedom is one type of choice the Left won’t protect. It is therefore one type of choice we should fight for the most.
This starts with taking responsibility for ourselves, and demanding that others do the same.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) nominated Bernie Sanders for president on Tuesday night at the Democrat National Convention.
The original version of this report incorrectly stated that Ocasio-Cortez had snubbed Joe Biden by nominating Sanders, a mistake also made by NBC News. The DNC had apparently asked Ocasio-Cortez to second Sanders&#8217; nomination for president as a procedural requirement of the convention.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Editor&#39;s note and clarification (2/2): 
Ocasio-Cortez was asked by the DNC to second Sanders&#39; nomination. The nomination is a procedural requirement of the convention. 
Ocasio-Cortez has previously endorsed Biden, &amp; her speech was similar in length to other nominating speeches.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Ocasio-Cortez began by stating, &#8220;Good evening, bienvenidos, and thank you to everyone here today endeavoring toward a better, more just future for our country and our world, in fidelity and gratitude to a mass people’s movement working to establish 21st-century social, economic and human rights, including guaranteed health care, higher education, living wages and labor rights for all people in the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;A movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And to propose and build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past. A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few, at the expense of long-term stability for the many. And who organized a historic, grass roots campaign to reclaim our democracy.&#8221;
&#8220;In a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep systemic solutions to our crisis of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care, en el espíritu del pueblo, and out of a love for all people, I hereby second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for president of the United States of America,&#8221; she concluded.
Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s claim that Sanders led a &#8220;campaign to reclaim our democracy&#8221; comes after the 78-year-old socialist has repeatedly <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/485678-bernie-sanders-may-want-to-praise-joseph-stalin-too">praised</a> brutal communist dictators.

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday reportedly &#8220;refused to condemn&#8221; Black Lives Matter activists who had demanded late last week that white people in Seattle give up their homes.
Ocasio-Cortez made her remarks while speaking to reporters during a visit to an NYCHA housing complex in Queens.
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/15/aoc-is-speechless-on-seattle-protesters/">reported</a> that Ocasio-Cortez &#8220;refused to condemn&#8221; the Black Lives Matter activists, and instead said that politicians need to &#8220;establish just policies and address the core issues of brutality.&#8221;
“Since this is happening in Seattle, I don’t have as close of a view on what’s happening. Of course I represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, so I don’t know the details of the protests that are going on, but I think what’s really important is that we make sure people are safe and it’s important for us to enact legislation and policy that actually addresses the core reasons behind why all of this kind of disruption is happening,” AOC said, adding, “until we do that, this is going to keep occurring, whether we want it to or not.”
When asked if she was considering running for a higher office later on down the road, she told reporters, “Everyone leave me alone.”
Black Lives Matter activists stormed a neighborhood in Seattle last week where they screamed obscenities at residents, made threatening remarks, and demanded that white people &#8220;give black people back their homes.&#8221;
Some of the remarks that the Black Lives Matter activists <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/activists-storm-neighborhood-tell-white-residents-give-black-people-back-their-homes">yelled</a> at residents included:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>“All y’all white motherf***ers get the f*** out our neighborhoods so we can go back to [inaudible]. Get the f*** out. Get the f*** out and give us our sh** back! Give us our sh** back. … Get the f*** out [and] give us our sh** back.”</li>
<li>“Pay the fee. Open your purse.”</li>
<li>“Get this back, man, we comin for it, reparations. Give us our sh** back. Give us our equity back.”</li>
<li>“Give us your house; give black people back their homes. You’re sitting their comfortably, comfortable as f*** and [inaudible] help gentrify this neighborhood. I used to live in this neighborhood … and my family was pushed out, and you’re sitting up there having a good time with your other white friends.”</li>
<li>“Hey, you work for Amazon, don’t you. You work for Amazon, don’t you? Because the majority of the people that live in the Central District now work for Amazon because it’s an easier commute to [inaudible]. Well, guess what? The guy you work for is part of the f***ing problem, too. So, let’s not act like you just are oblivious to the sh** because you knew about it all along, and you’re okay with it. But guess what? We’re not, and we’re bringing it to your front f***in door. So what the f*** do you plan to do about it?”</li>
<li>“We want it all. We want everything that we supposed to have. Period. And then some, too, because everything we supposed to have ain’t enough. It damn sure ain’t enough. Not for all the years that we didn’t have to suffer, it damn sure ain’t enough. You feel what I’m saying? So like, [dead] serious man, like –”</li>

Ocasio-Cortez ‘Refused To Condemn’ Black Lives Matter Activists Who Demanded Whites Turn Over Homes, Report Says

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday reportedly &quot;refused to condemn&quot; Black Lives Matter activists who had demanded late last week that white

The Democrat Party is giving Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) 60 seconds to speak at the Democratic National Convention next week, triggering the far-left.
&#8220;Ocasio-Cortez will be given just 60 seconds to deliver a pre-recorded message at the Democratic National Convention next week,&#8221; The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/08/12/aoc-gets-just-60-seconds-to-deliver-pre-recorded-message-at-dnc/">reported</a>. &#8220;The party’s progressive firebrand has been afforded the limited role while Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, will get to deliver live, virtual speeches at the coronavirus-revamped event.&#8221;
The move comes as Democrats try to change the narrative surround the far-left ideology of both Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). Biden has already <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShxwAMQCRiQ">said</a> that if elected he will go down as one of the most far-left presidents in history and Harris is <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/report-cards/2019/senate">ranked</a> as the most far-left Senator in the U.S. Senate.

The news caused many on the far-left to lose their minds on social media, decrying the Democrat Party as &#8220;arrogant scumbags.&#8221;
&#8220;Y’all gone fuck around and make @AOC shake the foundations of this entire democracy in 60 seconds just because you arrogant scumbags tried to diminish her impact,&#8221; far-left commentator Benjamin Dixon tweeted.

The Daily Wire highlighted Harris&#8217;s and Biden&#8217;s political views in in-depth profile pieces last fall:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-kamala-harris-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">HARRIS</a>: Harris is a full-spectrum progressive who supports a far-left economic, social, and national security agenda. She is fiercely defensive of abortion rights, supports curtailing Second Amendment rights, supports single-payer/”Medicare for All” health insurance, supports marijuana legalization, and favors sanctuary cities and other sovereignty-undermining, pro-amnesty immigration policies.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-joe-biden-stand-issues-heres-everything-josh-hammer">BIDEN</a>: Although Biden now presents himself as a moderate, centrist figure, the totality of his political career, overall, suggests that he is a firm leftist. Biden has dabbled at times in moderation, including previous support for tough-on-crime legislation and his longstanding stance that he is “personally pro-life” despite his support of legalized abortion. However, he has long been a progressive on legal issues, economic issues, and foreign policy issues, and even preempted President Obama’s “evolution” when, in 2012, he confirmed that he was <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/06/nation/la-na-biden-gay-marriage-20120507">“absolutely comfortable” </a>with same-sex marriage.</li>

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2019/11/Ocasio-Cortez-4.jpg

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) warned voters on Wednesday that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who was selected this week to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden&#8217;s running mate, is not the moderate that the media claims that she is.
&#8220;Kamala is my colleague, so I want to congratulate her. I think she is very personable,&#8221; Kennedy said. &#8220;She’s very smart, she’s very aggressive, and she’s very liberal. I think of Kamala, I would describe her as Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez but smarter and without the bartending experience. She&#8217;ll be a very formidable candidate.&#8221;
When asked if he viewed Biden-Harris as a &#8220;moderating influence&#8221; on the direction of the party, Kennedy responded, &#8220;No.&#8221;
&#8220;Vice President Biden has promised to be the most liberal president in history if he&#8217;s elected, and toward that end I think he picked the right running mate because Senator Harris is very, very, very liberal,&#8221; Kennedy continued. &#8220;I think they represent the new Democratic Party, which I think has clearly moved to the left, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s particularly a newsflash for anyone.&#8221;
&#8220;I think they both believe we&#8217;re one tax increase away from prosperity and they will massively raise taxes,&#8221; Kennedy continued. &#8220;I think they&#8217;re both very pro-abortion, they think that the border is a nuisance. I think in terms of our enemies across the world, they think we need to be more understanding. I don&#8217;t think they believe that weakness invites the wolves, as I do.&#8221;

&#8220;Harris is a full-spectrum progressive who supports a far-left economic, social, and national security agenda,&#8221; The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/where-does-kamala-harris-stand-issues-heres-josh-hammer">reported</a> in an in-depth analysis of Harris&#8217; political stances last fall. &#8220;She is fiercely defensive of abortion rights, supports curtailing Second Amendment rights, supports single-payer/&#8217;Medicare for All&#8217; health insurance, supports marijuana legalization, and favors sanctuary cities and other sovereignty-undermining, pro-amnesty immigration policies.&#8221;
Other stances highlighted in the piece include:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Constitution: Harris was sometimes floated as a possible U.S. Supreme Court nominee while serving as California attorney general during the Obama administration. She is a legal progressive, notably assisting on a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief in 2008 that argued that Washington, D.C.’s highly restrictive anti-handgun law — later invalidated in the landmark decision of D.C. v. Heller — did not violate the Second Amendment. Harris also refused to defend California’s erstwhile conjugal marriage law as attorney general. Her <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/47776/hammer-kamala-harriss-proposed-reproductive-rights-josh-hammer">proposed</a> “Reproductive Rights Act,” which is modeled after the 1965 Voting Rights Act, would subjugate many states to the whims of the federal government and would radically invert the original Madisonian conception of federalism. As a member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee during President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, Harris came out in full support of accuser Christine Blasey Ford and opposed Kavanaugh’s nomination.</li>
<li>Economy: Harris supports tax hikes on wealthier Americans and subscribes to much of the “zero-sum”/”class warfare”-inspired rhetoric that imbues contemporary leftist economic thinking. She supports expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, which many conservative economic policy wonks would prefer to see phased out and replaced with a low-income wage subsidy. She supports a robust governmental role for regulation of the financial services industry.</li>
<li>Health Care: Harris supports single-payer/”Medicare for All,” which effectively amounts to a governmental takeover of medicine in America. She has called for the total elimination of private health insurance, although she has recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42809/flip-flop-kamala-harris-changes-position-ryan-saavedra">equivocated</a> on total elimination. She has supported legislation that would increase Obamacare subsidies.</li>
<li>Immigration: Harris has vocally supported the criminal alien-harboring sanctuary city policies of her home state of California, and has taken a hard line in support of the DREAM Act and other amnesty legislative initiatives that would undermine America’s sovereignty and empower brutal Mexican cartels and human trafficking rings. She has been a consistently harsh critic of the Trump administration’s attempts to secure our border amidst a hitherto unprecedented influx of Central American migrants.</li>
<li>Foreign Policy: Harris has been relatively supportive of Israel, within the broader context of the increasingly anti-Israel Democratic Party, but she still personally boycotted AIPAC’s 2019 national policy conference. Harris opposed President Donald Trump’s removal of the U.S. from President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal and has consistently voiced opposition to continued military aid for Saudi Arabia, Iran’s chief regional nemesis. She supports a more robust congressional role, and a decreased role for the presidency, in the sphere of foreign relations and military action abroad.</li>
<li>Abortion: Harris is emphatically pro-abortion and supports <a href="https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1136320875102429184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1136320875102429184&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2F48065%2Fhammer-democrats-want-taxpayer-funding-josh-hammer">ending the Hyde Amendment</a>, which has historically banned taxpayer funding of abortion. Harris strongly supports Roe v. Wade and has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/47776/hammer-kamala-harriss-proposed-reproductive-rights-josh-hammer">proposed</a> a dubiously constitutional “Reproductive Rights Act” that would attempt to secure abortion rights via a similar legal mechanism that the 1965 Voting Rights Act utilized to advance voting rights.</li>
<li>Guns: Harris is a consistent supporter of anti-gun policies that would restrict American’s free exercise of their Second Amendment rights. She has promised to unilaterally advance amorphous <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/04/23/kamala-harris-promises-executive-action-gun-control-elected/3548859002/">“executive actions”</a> on guns if she were elected to the presidency. Harris supports a ban on the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/42837/hammer-kamala-harriss-flirtation-banning-all-semi-josh-hammer">lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America</a>. Harris has also endorsed 2020 rival Beto O’Rourke’s <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/51718/beto-says-hell-yes-were-going-take-americans-guns-james-barrett">gun confiscation</a> plan.</li>

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/08/Kamala-Harris-2-scaled.jpg

Speaking at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Saturday, President Trump <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8608235/The-Green-New-Deal-children-Trump-takes-swipe-AOC.html">took a shot</a> at the hard-left’s “Green New Deal,” which was sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). He stated, “I actually say the Green New Deal is childish. It&#8217;s for children; it&#8217;s not for adults.”
Trump said, “You look at what they want to do; they want to raise everybody&#8217;s taxes, everybody, and they want to do the Green New Deal, which will decimate our country and decimate – it&#8217;s ridiculous; it&#8217;s childish. I actually say the Green New Deal is childish. It&#8217;s for children; it&#8217;s not for adults. Anybody that believes in that is —I don’t know, maybe it&#8217;s politics. I don’t even think it’s good politics; they seem to think so. We’ll see how they do. But I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s good politics and it&#8217;ll decimate our economy.”
On Thursday, speaking at the Whirlpool Corporation Manufacturing Plant in Clyde, Ohio, Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-whirlpool-corporation-manufacturing-plant/">blasted Democrat leaders</a> for “inflicting a socialist takeover of the U.S. economy known as the horrendous Green New Deal.”
He stated:
<blockquote>To fully restore American prosperity, we must stop the radical left-wing movement that would destroy our country. They want to impose $3 trillion of new taxes on American families. They want to ban fracking, which will demolish your state. It will demolish Ohio oil and gas jobs. They want to rejoin the disastrous Paris Climate Accord, where you’ll pay billions and billions of dollars for the privilege of getting ripped off by other countries; and inflict a socialist takeover of the U.S. economy, known as the horrendous Green New Deal. It was conceived by a young woman, AOC — AOC plus three, I say.
AOC — that’s a real beauty, isn’t it?  She knows as much about the environment — do we have any young children here? — as that young child over there. I think he knows more. (Laughter.) And she certainly knows nothing about the economy. And if they ever had their chance, you would find that out, and it wouldn’t take very long.
You know, Venezuela was a very wealthy country 20 years ago — one of the wealthiest — per capita, one of the wealthiest. Tremendous oil reserves, everything. Now they don’t have food. They don’t have water. They don’t have medicine, they don’t have anything. Same thing could happen, same or similar ideology.
They also want to throw open American borders, give free taxpayer-funded health care to illegal aliens, defund police, abolish ICE, abolish borders — no more borders — and abolish basically the American Dream. This is Joe Biden. And does anybody really think he’s strong enough to stand up to these ruthless, vicious people? You look at — you look at Portland, you look at what’s going on in Seattle, these are the people that you’re dealing with. If I didn’t send in the troops, if I didn’t send in the great people from Homeland Security, you’d have courthouses and post offices and everything else burned down, blown up.</blockquote>

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s (D-NY) far-left extremism may have alienated the Democratic Party establishment to such an extent that she may not be invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) despite being one of the party&#8217;s most high-profile names.
According to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/07/who-will-speak-at-dnc-392533">Politico</a>, the DNC will offer up a host of big names, from Bill and Hillary Clinton to Barack and Michelle Obama, but AOC appears to not have made the list as of yet.
&#8220;It is unclear whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the first-term lawmaker beloved by progressives — and demonized by the MAGA-verse — will speak,&#8221; reported the outlet. &#8220;Other prominent Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will have roles. But given the time constraints — two hours of programming each night from August 17-20 — the Biden campaign is making some ruthless cuts. Some high-profile Democrats do not yet have confirmed roles.&#8221;
AOC&#8217;s potential absence has been explained as a mere consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the time constraints.
&#8220;At recent conventions, when there was more than six hours of daily programming, lower-level elected officials filled the afternoon schedule,&#8221; the report continued. &#8220;But this year, securing a speaking spot is a unique status symbol, and convention planners say they have had to turn down some big names.&#8221;
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a friend of Joe Biden, said the evening will be more straightforward than usual.
&#8220;There won&#8217;t be the hoopla. There won&#8217;t be the cheering and yelling,” said Rendell. “But people are interested and I think they&#8217;ll listen. And because we have so many people who&#8217;ve been in the public eye this year and so many in the past, like the Obamas and the Clintons and people like that, we have a terrific lineup.&#8221;
One Biden adviser said the goal was to have as &#8220;few elected officials as possible.&#8221;
“We want to have as few elected officials as possible,” said the adviser. “Every one of these politicians — they give them three minutes but then they take 15. We are trying to avoid that. There will be a lot of video and a lot of regular people.”
Though AOC&#8217;s potential absence could be due to the time constraints, it coincidentally follows former President Obama releasing his list of candidate endorsements in which AOC was noticeably absent.
From <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/obama-candidate-endorsements-aoc">Fox News</a>:
<blockquote>Obama endorsed progressive candidate Jamaal Bowman, a former middle school principal and first-time candidate who toppled longtime Rep. Eliot Engle in New York’s Democratic primary in June.
Despite Bowman being backed by Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Obama did not offer her his endorsement.
In 2018, ahead of the midterms, Obama initially fell short of offering Ocasio-Cortez his support after she ousted longtime former Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley.
Obama ultimately offered his support for Ocasio-Cortez in 2018 just ahead of the midterm elections.</blockquote>
Former Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich will also be speaking at the convention on the same night as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to signal a broad anti-Trump coalition.

The Roman Catholic auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles rebuked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday for alleging that a Catholic saint&#8217;s statue in the Capitol exhibits &#8220;patriarchy&#8221; and &#8220;white supremacist culture.&#8221;
&#8220;Just taking a couple minutes out of my day here because I felt the need to respond to something I came across that was just so outrageous,&#8221; said Bishop Robert Barron in a two-tweet response to Ocasio-Cortez. &#8220;It was a tweet, or an Instagram or something from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and she was complaining about the presence of a statue in Statuary Hall in the Capitol building that she thought was a sign of colonialism and white supremacy.&#8221;
Barron, chuckling, continued, &#8220;The statue that she picked out, of all the possible ones, was of St. Damien of Molokai. And I thought it was so crazy and outrageous, and I wondered, did she have any idea who St. Damien of Molokai was?&#8221;
Barron went on to explain how St. Damien of Molokai, a Belgian priest who was born Jozef De Veusterin in 1840, achieved international fame for his missionary work to an isolated leper colony in the Kingdom of Hawaii during the 19th century. For more than a decade, he ministered to the outcasts until he eventually contracted and succumbed to the disease himself in 1889 when he was 49 years old. He has since become the patron saint of lepers and outcasts, and the day he died is still commemorated in Hawaii on April 15. The Catholic Church under Pope Benedict XVI canonized him in 2009.
&#8220;Damien went knowing full-well that he would most likely never return from this ministry and, in fact, he never did,&#8221; Barron continued. &#8220;Damien came to the island and right away gave himself utterly to the people. Ministering to them, yes, preaching to them, but also caring for them in the most direct way. Touching them at a time when even those who were there sometimes wouldn&#8217;t touch those who were suffering from the disease. He would.&#8221;
&#8220;Damien of Molokai is reverenced by the people of Hawaii – he was in his own lifetime, and then after his death, he&#8217;s been reverenced as a saint by the people of Hawaii,&#8221; said Barron. &#8220;My point is, to associate this man in any way with colonialism or white supremacy is so ridiculous and insulting. And it shows the superficiality and the simplistic quality of these sort of woke categories.&#8221;
Barron concluded by lamenting the rise of attacks against Catholic saints such as St. Damien and St. Junipero Serra, an 18th-century missionary to Mexico and present-day California whose <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-rioters-in-california-tear-down-religious-statue-of-father-junipero-serra" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statue was toppled</a> by protesters in June. &#8220;What is it with this attack on Catholic saints?&#8221; he asked.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed the statue of a Roman Catholic saint that adorns the Capitol as an example of &#8220;what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like,&#8221; in a Thursday Instagram post.
Recording footage of a statue depicting Father Damien of Molokai, which is one of the two statues Hawaii has in the Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez explained her distaste for it, writing, &#8220;Even when we select figures to tell the stories of colonized places, it is the colonizers and settlers whose stories are told — and virtually no one else. Check out Hawaii&#8217;s statue.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
. <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AOC</a> calls the statue in the US capitol building of Father Damien, a canonized saint in the Catholic Church, a part of “white supremacist culture.” 
Father Damien died of leprosy after spending his life serving others who had the disease. <a href="https://t.co/NVnfCN7EVK">pic.twitter.com/NVnfCN7EVK</a>
&mdash; John Gage (@johnrobertgage) <a href="https://twitter.com/johnrobertgage/status/1289216440088662016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 31, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
She continued:
<blockquote>It&#8217;s not Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, the only Queen Regnant of Hawaii, who is immortalized and whose story is told. It is Father Damien. This isn&#8217;t to litigate each and every individual state, but to point out the patterns that have emerged among the totality of them in who we are taught deify in our nation&#8217;s Capitol; virtually all men, all white, and mostly both. This is what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like! It&#8217;s not radical or crazy to understand the influence white supremacist culture has historically had in our overall culture &amp; how it impacts the present day.</blockquote>
St. Damien of Molokai, a Belgian priest who was canonized in 2009 by Pope Benedict XVI, was born Jozef De Veusterin in 1840 and achieved fame for his missionary work to the Kingdom of Hawaii. For 16 years he ministered to an isolated settlement of lepers until he eventually contracted the disease himself. He continued to care for the community until he eventually died of leprosy in 1889. He is considered to be the patron saint of lepers and outcasts, and the day he died is still commemorated in Hawaii on April 15.
Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s complaint about the statues in the Capitol comes the week after Congress voted to remove all statues in the building that depict figures from the Confederacy. Also slated for removal was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-remove-confederate-statues-justice-roger-b-taney-from-capitol" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a bust</a> of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney in the Old Supreme Court Chamber, whose 1857 Dred Scott decision maintained that the rights of U.S. citizenship do not extend to black people.
Earlier this week, a liberal Catholic reporter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/far-left-national-catholic-reporter-aoc-is-the-future-of-the-catholic-church" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote</a> a widely disseminated op-ed for The National Catholic Reporter arguing that &#8220;AOC is the future of the Catholic Church.&#8221; Appealing to Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s recent speech on the House floor condemning Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) for allegedly calling her &#8220;dangerous&#8221; and &#8220;a f***ing b**ch,&#8221; Heidi Schlumpf claimed the congresswoman&#8217;s passion for dignity and social justice come from her &#8220;Catholic values.&#8221;
“As a young Latina, Ocasio-Cortez represents the demographic future of the Catholic Church,” Schlumpf also wrote.  “But — if there is to be a future for the Catholic Church in the United States — it must also resemble Ocasio-Cortez in her passion for justice and human dignity, and in her courage and integrity, even in the face of vulgar attacks.”

According to the far-left <a href="https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/ncr-connections/aoc-future-catholic-church">National Catholic Reporter</a>, a committed socialist who supports abortion, same-sex marriage, transgender ideology, and radical environmentalism is &#8220;the future of the Catholic Church.&#8221;
In an op-ed published on Monday, Heidi Schlumpf said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s (D-NY) passion for human dignity and social justice comes from her &#8220;Catholic values,&#8221; which is at odds with the fact that the Catholic Church specifically <a href="https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12783a.htm">condemns socialism</a>, abortion, same-sex marriage, and transgender ideology. Schlumpf based her declaration on AOC&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI4ueUtkRQ0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">speech</a> on the House floor last week condemning Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) for allegedly calling her &#8220;dangerous&#8221; and a &#8220;f***ing b**ch.&#8221; Yoho has emphatically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ted-yoho-casts-doubt-on-aocs-claims-that-he-accosted-her-makes-own-claims-about-what-she-did-during-interaction">denied that the conversation happened in the way AOC has alleged.</a>
&#8220;Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly railed against the &#8216;dehumanizing&#8217; of others and instead called for treating people with dignity and respect,&#8221; argued Schlumpf. &#8220;These are themes often repeated by Pope Francis, who has specifically cautioned about gossip and urged the use of respectful language, saying &#8216;it is possible to kill someone with the tongue.'&#8221;
<div class="field field-name-field-rich-text-paragraphs field-type-text-long field-label-hidden">
&#8220;Perhaps such Catholic references are not surprising, since the rock-star millennial leader of the left grew up Catholic and even wrote about how her faith influences her views on public policies such as mass incarceration, for a Catholic magazine,&#8221; added Schlumpf.
</div>
Schlumpf made no mention of the fact that Ocasio-Cortez has completely jettisoned all other tenets of the Catholic faith that would put her at odds with today&#8217;s Democratic Party. Regarding abortion, the congresswoman has said that abortion bans are about &#8220;owning&#8221; women&#8217;s bodies.
She tweeted in 2019:
<blockquote>Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies. They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women. From limiting birth control to banning comprehensive sex ed, US religious fundamentalists are working hard to outlaw sex that falls outside their theology.
Ultimately, this is about women’s power. When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy. It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body.</blockquote>

On transgenderism, AOC <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/pride/agenda/article/2019/02/04/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-speaks-cisgender-privilege">has said</a> that cisgendered people are &#8220;privileged.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m a cisgendered woman,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I will never know the trauma of feeling like I’m not born in the right body. And that is a privilege that I have, no matter how poor my family was when I was born. But it’s really hard for some people to admit that they — you know, it’s part of this weird American Dream mythology that we have, that for a lot of — in a lot of circumstances isn’t as true or isn’t as clearly communicated as we’d like for it, or we wish it was.&#8221;

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated during an Instagram Live video on Tuesday that &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t make sense&#8221; that federal agencies that are charged with protecting the American homeland would be structured under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
&#8220;And, by the way, ICE as an agency, as a structure, should not exist,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said. &#8220;DHS as an agency, the way it is currently organized, someone tell me why it makes sense, why FEMA and CBP and ICE and the Coast Guard should all be part of the same agency. It doesn’t make sense and, in fact, it’s incredibly dangerous when it’s structured that way.&#8221;
&#8220;And so what’s happening is that, um, billions and billions of dollars have gone to ICE and CBP and as we’re talking about police uprisings in this country, I think it’s really important that people understand, do you know what is now the largest law enforcement organization in the United States of America?&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez continued. &#8220;It’s CBP. It’s Customs and Border Patrol. It’s the largest law enforcement agency in the country.&#8221;
CBP does not stand for &#8220;Customs and Border Patrol,&#8221; it stands for Customs and Border Protection. The Border Patrol is part of Customs and Border Protection.
The four agencies that Ocasio-Cortez claimed should not be organized together—FEMA, CBP, ICE, and the U.S. Coast Guard—all provide critical support to the American homeland.
FEMA responds to major disasters, CBP protects the U.S. border and screens those entering the country, ICE removes people who are illegally in the U.S., and the Coast Guard protects America&#8217;s shores.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During her live stream, Ocasio-Cortez also lamented that illegal aliens have not received &#8220;extended unemployment&#8221; because they are illegally in the U.S.
&#8220;And what NYSYLC is doing is that they are fundraising for an emergency fund, um, to help some of those, to help some of our undocumented brothers and sisters out because one of the big issues that we have in our country is that the amount of race&#8211;, oh I have ice cream by the way, but, um, but the amount of xenophobia that we’re seeing especially with this administration, there is so much language that’s disrespecting undocumented people when the fact of the matter is they’re the ones who, these are the families and the individuals that are making sure that we’re fed,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said. &#8220;They’re often taking care of our children.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez then suggested that breaking federal immigration laws was not &#8220;wrong,&#8221; saying, &#8220;They are often making sure that our work places and our homes are sanitary and so we cannot go on with kind of these xenophobic narratives that undocumented people are somehow wrong or, or just bad human beings when the fact of the matter is, is that, the scaffolding of American life is, so much of the scaffolding of American life is built upon the labor of undocumented people.”

On Aug. 1, HBO Sports will air &#8220;Seeing America with Megan Rapinoe,&#8221; a conversation featuring Rapinoe, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team captain, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones, and comedian Hasan Minhaj.
Rapinoe, who first knelt during the national anthem in September 2016 as a “nod to [Colin] Kaepernick,” told <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/megan-rapinoe-is-a-walking-protest-162416461.html">Yahoo Sports</a> in May 2019, &#8220;I&#8217;ll probably never put my hand over my heart. I’ll probably never sing the national anthem again.” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/us-womens-soccer-co-captain-ill-probably-never-hank-berrien">Describing</a> herself as &#8220;a walking protest when it comes to the Trump administration,” because of &#8220;everything I stand for,” she told Yahoo, “So it&#8217;s kind of a good ‘F you&#8217; to any sort of inequality or bad sentiments that the [Trump] administration might have towards people who don&#8217;t look exactly like him. Which, God help us if we all looked like him. Scary. Really scary. Ahh, disturbing.”
Shortly after preemptively rejecting an invitation to the White House should the women&#8217;s team win the World Cup, Rapinoe <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/megan-rapinoe-accepts-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-invitation-to-tour-house-of-representatives">accepted</a> an invitation from democratic socialist Ocasio-Cortez. &#8220;It may not be the White House, but we’d be happy to welcome [Megan Rapinoe] &amp; the entire [U.S. Women&#8217;s National Soccer Team] for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1144739914384367617">tweeted</a>.
Rapinoe responded, &#8220;Consider it done.&#8221;
Hannah-Jones’ 1619 Project, created with The New York Times, attempts to &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-new-york-times-dropped-millions-on-facebook-to-advertise-the-1619-projectwhile-trying-to-bully-facebook-into-censoring-others">reframe the country&#8217;s history</a>&#8221; by insisting that the United States&#8217; true founding year is 1619, when the first slaves came to America, not 1776, when the Declaration first declared the nation&#8217;s independence and established the founding principles that &#8220;all men are created equal&#8221; and have the God-given right to &#8220;life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&#8221;
Hannah-Jones claimed in her lead-in essay for the project, “Conveniently left out of our founding mythology is the fact that one of the primary reasons the colonists decided to declare their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery.” The foundational claim was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-backlash-from-historians-nyt-forced-to-issue-significant-correction-to-1619-project">debunked</a> by multiple prominent historians.
The <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/03/14/new-york-times-corrects-the-1619-project-but-its-still-a-giant-lie/">New York Post</a> wrote in an op-ed from their editorial board last March, “That’s a lie, pure and simple, and the paper still hasn’t corrected it. It ‘made an important clarification,’ in Hannah-Jones’ words. A new ‘editors note&#8217; explains, ‘A passage has been adjusted.’ Namely, it added two words: The essay now says protecting slavery was the main reason ‘some of’ the colonists fought to rebel from England.”
“We are grateful Megan Rapinoe would choose HBO as home for this conversation and look forward to more opportunities with her to continue this dialogue,” Peter Nelson, Executive Vice President, HBO Sports, stated in a <a href="https://pressroom.warnermediagroup.com/us/media-release/hbo-sports-present-seeing-america-megan-rapinoe-conversation-hosted-us-soccer-icon?language_content_entity=en">press release</a>. “Megan is fearless in speaking out on issues. Joined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nikole Hannah-Jones and Hasan Minhaj, this conversation embraces the challenges we collectively face.”
Rapinoe <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/reign/megan-rapinoe-to-host-interview-based-series-on-hbo-featuring-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-nikole-hannah-hones-and-hasan-minhaj/">said in response</a> to the show&#8217;s announcement, “It is an honor to host a show with a critical conversation between some of America’s most innovative thought leaders. I am so thankful to HBO for providing such a powerful platform for this important dialogue.”
