NYT/MSNBC’s @MaraGay: In Long Island last weekend, I saw “dozens of American flags,” which was “just disturbing”
@MaraGay "I was on Long Island this weekend ... and I was really disturbed. I saw, you know, dozens & dozens of pickup trucks w/ expletives against Joe Biden ... Trump flags, and in some cases, just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing"
@MaraGay “Essentially the message was clear: ‘This is my country. This is not your country. I own this.’"
Apparently @MaraGay suggested people criticizing her comments are racist. Can't say for sure b/c she's one of those journalists who doesn't like being reported on.

House Dems are reportedly drafting a resolution condemning Rep. MTG for comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust.
Maybe they should also include … @AOC? After all, distasteful Holocaust analogies are kind of her stock-in-trade.
@AOC “Words matter,” she says in congratulating herself for these analogies
@AOC Or what about co-Squader @RashidaTlaib, who offended the Jewish community after saying the Holocaust gives her a “calming feeling” because of the role her ancestors played in “trying to create a safe haven for Jews”
