The National Rifle Association has launched a scathing attack on Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, branding the congresswoman a self-absorbed socialist darling.
Grant Stinchfield, who is a host on the TV channel of the largest gun lobbying group in America, said Ms Ocasio-Cortez made him sick.
Mr Stinchfield, a self-described firearms enthusiast, hit out at the Democrat for criticising the war in Afghanistan.
AOC thinks the war was disastrous and wrong, he said on NRA TV. The woman whose Green New Deal promises to figure out a way to handle cows that pass gas, is now crapping on patriotism and of course national security.

(27,755 posts)I was thinking that might be the case.
I knew about "colour" but wasn't sure about "apologise"

Sometimes it can be really helpful and illuminating to look at who the opposition is.

(9,090 posts)they can pay for some ads but aside from regular almost daily attacks on her, i heard at least one dedicated hour attack on AOC. that generates dittohead calls to her office and other local blowhard shows and gets magnified - all for free, even endorsed by 88 universities broadcasting sports on 260 limbaugh stations
nra can do a few ads but 1500 radio stations follow limbaugh's lead calling her commie marxist dunce all day to 50 mil a week. and that's all free, paid for by your local businesses advertising on those stations, sometimes endorsed by your state-funded universities
