Surprised AOC is not on it
She signed a separate letter that was less scathing and left out criticism of Israel.
Probably the right move.
The point is not “you should agree with him”.
The point is “you shouldn’t deport people you disagree with”.
MAGA would much rather argue about the former if you let them sidestep the latter.
Disappointing
That's super disappointing. Not what I would expect from AOC
In her last 2-3 years, its in line.
I have to wonder if she's received threats from them or affiliate groups since she rejected their "donations" a while back.
I'm sure I can't begin to imagine the volume and severity of the threats against her
