Just six days after a lone gunman nearly assassinated former President Donald Trump, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines with her inflammatory remarks about the former president. AOC expressed the urgency many feel about preventing Trump from returning to the presidency.
Ocasio-Cortez stated, “Everybody is terrified of a Trump presidency, and everybody wants to do everything and anything possible to prevent that from happening. And I think that regardless of your position on that, I think an overwhelming amount of people are motivated by that.”

If EVERYBODY is really terrified of Trump becoming the next President as she claims then she must be in fear of Mr Trump getting in excess of 50% of the total votes next election ! Therefore half the population of the USA and probably more are perfectly happy with Trump as the next President . So AOC you are talking I believe , in fear , total unadulterated fear of what is coming , not harm to you , we are Republicans and we don’t use violence , but there is a good chance you may lose your seat and the Demoncratic party and Biden etc will be seen as the evil you are .
