In this week's @gaslitnation, we discuss threats toward House reps like AOC by violent GOP extremists like Paul Gosar and how the refusal of House leadership to swiftly and strongly take action has streamlined political violence patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"GOP reps who applauded the 1/6 attacks and interacted with the attackers faced minimal consequences. Instead, Pelosi let them stay in office and continue attacks on congresswomen like AOC and Ilhan Omar, whom they stalk in the halls and threaten online." patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"The threats that AOC and other female representatives of color get were always serious. The threats date back years and have increased in severity along with govt inaction. We are dealing with the prospect of assassination and we have a political climate which facilitates it."
To hear the whole story -- with audio clips of confessed crimes from a 1/6 attacker and pleas for help that were met with apathy -- listen to this week's @gaslitnation. Segment starts 26 minutes in: patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
And the dereliction of duty by Pelosi toward addressing threats to her caucus just keeps coming!

"The Congresswomen who both get threats from rightwing extremists and are targets of Pelosi's wrath are those who make made serious calls for accountability regarding financial corruption and nefarious foreign activity. Both the GOP and Pelosi have motive to delegitimize them."
