- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Responds to Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL): "I do not need Representative Yoho to apologize to me. Clearly he does not want to. Clearly when given the opportunity he will not. And I will not stay up late at night waiting for an apology from a man who has no remorse over calling women & using abusive language towards women." cs.pn/3jFn5pZ

i still can't believe this is the same person who played among us
Hahahah me too
I can't believe they use the phrase gentlewoman lol, I didnt think that was a thing
@@Supertoddy96 lmao me either
ME EITHER LMAOO
girls can play among us :/
I just realized "I have a a wife and daughter" is the gender equivalent of "I have a black friend"
Good one!
Also put LQBTQ+ in the mix, I don't know how often I have heard people say "you know, I have lots of gay friends, but gay people...". It is such a weak argument in all context😥
@@missfayz4523 ugh yes. They're just as bad as those "No offense but.." people.
That's how they control your speech they'll find some freaking thing wrong with what you're saying and then blame it on you.
@@Apocalypsesurvivalduo yeah, these people do not understand that a but invalidates what they said before it. In Germany, where I live, the go to is " I'm not a Nazi, but (insert something racist, mysoginistic, homophobe etc)." I hate when people do that...
Wow. She tore him a new one, in a polite and factual manner. No excuses, no bullshit. Don't know her, but huge respect for this woman, she clearly takes no shit from anyone. Right on. 💪🏼
“Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man.” Wise words
this is what a REAL leader sounds like
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No this is what a bartender sounds like
Yea she needs to run for president
@@Hxn1027 last I checked she graduated Cum Laude with a double major from a prestigious university and is a member of congress. This is what a leader sounds like. You sound like a man-child whose feelings are hurt.
@@redpandawrestler So did George W Bush and that guy's as dumb as they get.
A degree doesn't make you intelligent. Some of the dumbest people I know have masters and some of the most intelligent people I know are plumbers and mechanics.
I mean, shit... Albert Einstein was a fuckin drop out. All school does is teaches you how to think like everybody else. You can learn more at your local library than any "pReStIgiOuS uNiVeRiSiTy". Ben Carson is proof of that.
@@Hxn1027 so you'll (rightly) stick up for workers like plumbers and mechanics, whose jobs are often unrecognized as valuable, but don't see a problem with mocking AOC for not coming from an old money background? A degree doesn't necessarily make you intelligent, that's true, but education does, and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is an EDUCATED woman.
"I was not raised to accept abuse from men"
Johnathan Grey and she stated that she will ignore it as it inevitably continues. the reason she’s speaking on the floor is because yoho did so first, defending his inexcusable actions. it does happen and it will continue to happen unless people like aoc speak out against it.
I was not raised to accept abuse from women. I raise my children the same way. I also raise my children not to take someone else's opinion to heart. There's trash in both party's and to me AOC is trash.
she is great at playing a victim. Hasn't she ever heard sticks and stones? I thought she was tough?
Johnathan Grey no matter what field you’re in, there comes a time where enough is enough and you need to call out the bs in your environment, so she did
This is politics. They will always be at eachothers throats slinging vulgarity at one another until one finally can't take the heat and runs crying for help and starts pointing fingers at all the meanies. This time it was AOC that couldn't take the heat.......again🤔......ok so AOC can't take any heat ever.
Every once in a while, I watch this speech again. It’s so badass. It’s all so true. This speech isn’t partisan in any way. Really, it should be required viewing for every boy and girl who is old enough to understand the offensiveness of Yoho’s language.
So powerful and sensitive. I felt her pain and her genuineness to respect others without hatred. This culture has to stop. Thank you. Rep. Alexandria
SHE DID NOT EVEN MAKE A SPEECH OUT OF EMOTIONS, BUT RATHER OUT OF RATIONAL EXPLANATION AND TRUTH.
SHE IS SO CALM when i could have burst out to tears
No, you can hear the emotion in her voice. But you can also hear her reel it in and stay on point. A woman who can control her emotions is impressive. These women in power are amazing!
@Patrick McMahon Then I should make it fair by saying men need to have control of their emotions too. I’m just implying that women are better at sensing emotion better than men, they’re more emotionally in tune. That gets hard to turn off for many people when they need to remove their own ego from the equation. That’s where judges excel. And ACB exemplifies it beautifully. You could hear a couple times where she sounded distressed. But instead of breaking down or firing back angrily, or even breaking expression, she maintained everything wonderfully and answered everything with a fair and level response!
Most men I know can’t keep their cool and their women are just as crazy. Women like ACB are exceptional. (I know I couldn’t remain that calm. I’d be looking like Sylvester from Looney Tunes, pale and shaking!)
@@willgraves5848 Can someone answer why she is so much better than Biden or Trump. I mean she said Latinos are Blacks, lost 20k jobs for NYC, and said that looting is good. You seem like a reasonable person so I won't insult you. Bit I'd like to know why you guys support her, is cuz she's a women? Because for me at least someone's looks isn't enough for me to like them. Personally I would dislike Trump just as much if he was, black, latino, asian, or European. Same goes for Biden and her. If you ask me Biden>Trump; but I still don't like him. I feel calling her empowering isn't enough to justify what I explained. I'm just interested in other people's opinions.
@@brito50 He called her those things in public and unprovoked; then gave a less than half-assed “reason”, NOT an apology on the House floor (also, in public). He started the shit and she was going to let it go, until his BS on the House floor. Go watch his non-apology. It’s shameful. He had no cause whatsoever to call her names like that. She is a Congresswoman, no less important than he being a Congressman, yet he starts up with a finger in her face and raising his voice, calling her names. Do you know why he was upset? Because she said crime had risen in New York City during the pandemic because of poverty and unemployment.
"they did not raise me to accept abuse from men"
Thank you so much AOC
Queen shit 👸💅
WE STANNNNNN😼💅🧚♀️
Truth Veritas how
That's actually a hard to respect phrase. Was she raised to accept abuse from others but men? or was she just raised to not accept abuse, period?
@@joe78man well obviously she’s not going to accept abuse from anyone, but she said men cause i’m assuming if anyones insulting her it’s mostly men
I’m a 75 year old British women who does not fully understand the ins and outs of American politics. Is it possible that she could go on to become President? She would be such an asset to the U.S. Intelligent, articulate, charismatic, she’s wonderful.
I certainly hope she can be our first female president ma'am. As long as she gets the vote!
YES, it is certainly possible. Anyone can run for president and it is easier to do that than say, buy a gun in most states or getting a marriage license. The real issue facing her is that she is a Progressive who is also (and not by her own doing) a "populist" (or i guess rather say she is extremely "popular" just for being charismatic...) and that scares the crap out of both parties who are both run by very big money concerns terrified of her "Green New Deal" which would seem tame to anyone say from Denmark or Sweden or Germany but considering Petro money is given in large sums to both Republican and Democratic centrist candidates to maintain the status quo of the power elite here and across the world, AOC fuels massive pushback that translates into unseen undercurrents that work against her from the top down. My understanding of the "below the water line" actions against her online alone would confuse and terrify any normal person, she is on the main agenda of every anti-American, anti-progressive, pro-oil, pro gun, pro hatred and divisiveness party, person or politician out there. They will try and do to her what they did to Bernie Sanders but his popularity is nowhere near what AOC's is and she will win if she can withstand the barrage of hatred that she elicits from those who need us to stay dumb and powerless. The American progressive party hasn't seen someone this popular in my lifetime, and considering the Hispanic voter base is now massive in the United States, AOC could win the presidency--my hope is she runs in 2028 considering Biden will likely run and win again in 2024 in his last term and then it's up to the DNC (Democratic National Convention who basically funnel campaign dollars to Democrat candidates) who will do all they can to push back on her but will eventually cave because they will eventually be outed as anti-progressive and they would die in such light. Cross your fingers!
2028/2032 will probably be Newsom. After that maybe we can talk about her.
@@obinator9065 She would beat him. Likely in California too as the hispanic base there is the biggest in the country.
No, The Right wing press/TV has seen her as the theat for decade. She is the most smeared politician in America by a some way. Thus 50% of the population hates her. I think Senator is her ceiling.
Never let a man as a Woman disrespect you. STAND UP!
Are we looking at the first female president?
Let's hope so, unless Tulsi Gabbard beats her to it...
Hopefully there will be a few before her
nah she avoids debating like the plague and lies way too many times when she speaks there’s no way she’s going to run any time soon, let alone win
We are! This young woman is incredible... and dare I say it, rather hot

@Fergustine Feart excuse me? can you please stop saying 'Race card' you may or my not have any idea how racism can affect a person's life. Okay there's no such thing as "Race card" please stop saying that.
I reject that the only explanation for him being a dick to AOC was that she was a woman. I imagine if AOC were a man he would have used a different adjective but kept the same message.
AOC is most probably of the most brilliant Congresswoman ever, period, and a fantastic example - lead for young girls and woman to look up to
Sure, she boldly stood up to a fellow representative and has stood up to other rude, sexist men. But what has she actually done to make life better for her constituents in her district l, which I understand includes the Bronx and Queens?
AOC is great at grandstanding and calling out GOP men, but how are her constituents better off than they were on December 31, 2018? You know, "the people who send me here everyday."
She is fantastic with rhetoric but represents the problem with Democrats. Even when they have a majority in both houses and the presidency, they fail to execute.

"Having a daughter does not make a man decent, having a wife does not make a decent man, treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man." That is the words of a future president.
I am 17 I asked a man who was maybe 40-45, to please put a mask on when he entered the restaurant I work at. He called me an AOC want to be. At the time I did not know what that meant. He told me to look it up. I’m proud to be called that. Even though he meant it as an insult I’m proud.
Yesssss !!!! AOC is the best and so are you!!
periodddd
Good because that’s how it should be. Be proud of shit and don’t take bullshit from others.
YIKES, SJW found
@@rudym415 Lmao what year are you in?
She’s actually a phenomenal human.
Father Damien of Molokai who was canonized a Saint for his life work. He helped hundreds of lepers at a leper colony in Hawaii and later died of leprosy himself. Recently a statue in his honor was erected to celebrate his life and his good works.
AOC decries the statue of St. Damien as a symbol of white supremacy. I’ll take one St. Damiens over a hundred AOCs. Friends of anti-semites who decry those who serve the sick and die in their serve are phenomenal, the former are not.
Are you fookin kidding
Red Bean learn how to spell❤️
Hahahahaha
Haha
what makes this phenomenal is that it wasn't scripted whatsoever. she's looking the court in the eyes the whole time, speaking from her heart, AOC is truly a powerful woman.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken up her role as a Congressperson better than anyone - who had never held any kind of public office - EVER did. She is brilliantly intelligent, and her politics are SPOT-ON. There should be 435 of her in the House of Representatives!
She's going to be President one day.
I sure hope so
YUP SHES MY PRESIDENT
I can't wait 👏
Gen Z for a more humane world! When we all have opportunities and basic life needs met, we will be a more efficient and happy nation!
I'm gen Z and I will be able to vote in 2 years from now on. If you ask me, then no, she's not my President and will never be. I can clearly see Democratic party's lies and hypocrisy. I'm not denying that Republicans aren't sometimes hypocritical, however on much smaller scale compared to their opposition. I'm right leaning libertarian and I'll be most likely voting Republican when I'll finally receive my voter ID. Democratic party has moved too far to the left, and while Republicans indeed have moved to the right, they're not as radicalized as Dems. What Democratic far-leftist voters are doing now in our cities, convinces me even more to vote for GOP.
Have a nice day.
She verbally beat the shit outta him 😭
And she did it politely
All she did was whine. Hopefully she will be Gone soon

I dont understand how representatives like yoho get elected in america
She is not only defending herself she speaking for all woman.
All decent people.
@@anneblubaugh58 wtf is wrong with you!
She can't speak for all women because not all women elected her as representative for all women
@@tobynorris9259 see thats the difference between adults and children. An adult can speak for and look out for the people who didn't vote for them. She is speaking for every woman who has been called a bitch for refusing to shut up, having an opinion or succeeding in a male dominated society. I assume you're male, i could be wrong but if you are male what the hell would you know about a woman speaking out for her sisters?
@@Alliebaba7782 Because he's right. I don't like her, in fact I hate her. She is trying to destroy my stepfather's business with a 70% tax rate to pay her already outrageously high salary for doing nothing but creating division. And for what? So she can be a celebrity? Even her own district says they haven't seen her in months and she never even asks what they want, how they live. She doesn't care about anyone but she wants or her needs. She doesn't speak for me, because I have my own voice thank you very much and I think it's pathetic that you need someone else to speak for you, especially someone as self-entitled as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
America is growing up. Painful but necessary. This is beautiful to watch.
I agree !!
No wonder Liberals always lose. Somethings will never change.
Very beautiful
Benjamin Quellier fair point but also I think OP is referring to the progressive movement of America. AOC is really starting to come of age politically as she amasses more experience. After this speech, murmurs of future presidential runs are being heard all around the country. Americans have been exceptionally blind as to how backwards our country is compared to the rest of the developed world. That illusion has finally shattered, and the scales have tilted. There’s simply too much at stake starting with climate change to go back now. Revolution, hopefully a peaceful one, is on its way.
What was painful was her awful speech
Men: we can do better. When we disagree with a woman, let's not use misogyny to silence her. Let's "listen to women for a change."
She's incredible. I am so excited to watch her grow and expand her impact.

She crucified him with that line alone.

I'm so glad she responded after Yoho tried to make excuses using his white male politician background, thinking that she was going to keep silent. Thank you AOC for standing up for me and all the women who put up with this kind of talk from toxic masculinity.
Tiffany D., Agreed! Yoho is an immense embarrassment to the male gender. I've had a lifetime of fucking sexism and it's time we got more women into political office. AOC is the way to go.
Ohh Tiffany , Just say i hate men , SIMPLE ! Or maybe not for you . lol
Wow maybe grow some lady nuts and don’t care about other people’s opinions? If you’re a nasty , disgusting, evil, billionaire banker backed, liar, dangerous, and so stupid she can’t comprehend a metaphor, you’re a very much a b*tch . She is using her gender to deflect any of the real criticisms he levied, it’s so pathetic and makes women look weak , you really care someone said a mean word to you ? All you see is her clips in the media , but in reality she is the enemy of anyone who cares about this country, and if you can’t take the time to find out who really controls things, if you really can’t piece they’re obvious agenda together just from what you see , you deserve every single mean word said to you. And I’ll say it straight to your face, because that’s equality, you can say any word to me all day long , but if I do it it’s bad. Grow up.
Yes! it's wonderful when some one who has power stands up for those who don't. So thank you to AOC from an ex-waitress who would have lost her job for complaining about this treatment!
B L you’re stupid
The fact that men’s first reflex is to argue when women ask to be treated with respect is just flat out pathetic.
you miss the point, women should be treated with respect, but are you really willing to make being rude illegal? words are not violence and disrespect is not illegal nor should it be, also calling yoho sexist is a bit of a reach all he did was disrespect her for her beliefs she is not all women even if she thinks she is. but if being rude were illegal everyone in this country would be in jail

This is why I cringe when people compare her to Greene or Boebert. I disagree with AOC a lot on policy, but I have tremendous respect for her because she treats others with respect and has class. She’s genuine and believes in what she says, even if I disagree with her conclusions.
As a Buffalo Native, I’m proud she’s a fellow New Yorker.
This is not a right-left issue. This is an issue of equality, humanity and morality. No matter what anyone's political inclinations, you can't stand by and legitimise this kind of abusive behaviour.
Not gonna lie I’m a Democrat and don’t really like her but you’re right the behavior is unacceptable
i don't want to get political but what do you expect from trumps party, he expresses the same way, such as grabbing woman by the puss* and wanting to date her daughter and having sex, it is not faked news because trump said it himself.
And the GOP males and Trump are now attacking Liz Chaney. I just cannot understand why women in that party gets disrespected by their own.
Equality? Then take it like a man and move on. Did not see her walk away. Just another excuse to spread hate. Liar. She never heard those words...was all hearsay.

She just verbally castrated Yoho, and boy did he have it coming.
Nah, all he has to do is ride this horse out again and she'll be in line.
Watching her drop these fools time and again warms my black little heart.
@@theblackhundreds7124 What?
No, no he didn't!
pxlent "drop these fools"?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
She nailed Yoho for the misogynist coward he is. If you don't have what it takes to respectfully work with intelligent women you're just pretending to be a man. Congress should formally censure Yoho.
Great comment.
Yes 2nd that!
Couldn’t agree with you more!
Lmao, she is a bitch though. She's a socialist bitch. Her own people don't even support her anymore. She's an idiot, end of story. Funny how this bitch wants to play the victim role now though. She should be in jail for embezzlement of her campaign funds to her boyfriend
Sad thing is you seem to understand that the term 'Bitch' is specifically targeting to woman. Yet you still used it. So you are the same breed of misogynist as he is.
She absolutely skewered him. Eviscerated! Brilliant.
She no less than 10x smarter than the entire GOP delegation in Congress.

"Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man." I'm amazed that this is rocket science to some people.
And it makes women go on social media and whinge about how they get zero attention from men.
And it makes men go their own way - MGTOW, BABY!
Like the 1% that own and rule the gop?
-Because they are cowards!
Im perplexed when people tell native americans and central americans to get out of america...
They have No concept of history and it’s sad. Alternatively, the stupidity/ ignorance of racism knows no bounds.
I would never say something like that, such talk is unrealistic and cruel, but this nation was founded and settled by anglos and germans. Just because people were living on the land that the nation was built on, that doesn't necessarily make them part of the nation.
An especially poignant example, when the Aztecs conquered their empire (they originally migrated from elsewhere) the defeated tribes that continued to live in what is now Mexico were not part of the Aztec nation, they were subjects.
I doubt the average person that would say something so antisocial thinks that deeply about it, but that is the spirit from which this sentiment comes from.
The fact of the matter is, that modern Western nations are unique in allowing, on a regular basis, non-founding stock to become full members of their nation. This, however, will always be rejected by some, especially those founding stock who feel they have something to lose. By the same token, newer groups will always carry resentment for the founding stock as, inevitably, institutions and societal conventions will be easier to navigate for the people that designed them, for reasons having to do with both differences in culture and the prevalence of different heritable traits between the two groups. Efforts to change these conventions or provide restitution (from taxes) to groups that have difficulty will simply spawn more resentment in the founding stock.
I would venture to suggest that pluralistic societies will always have such conflicts as long as scarcity is part of the human condition.
This is not even going into the kinds of conflicts that can develop between multiple different groups of non-founding people.
Right like it’s legit their country like they were born here
History is so whitewashed and bias that Americans think that they weren't murderers who stole everything they had and then slaves build the country for them.

@@melvaburke2608 True! True! AOC forever.

@Scott Smith Men who have disliked this video have spoken! Perhaps this speech was too difficult for you and your kind to understand. Go back to listening Trump speak. He speaks for your level
@Scott Smith And your country is doing great now? It is the laughing stock of the whole world and an international pariah. No country wants Americans in especially Europe. 4 million Americans infected with the virus, more than 140,000 Americans dead! That's more than Americans killed in WWI, Vietnam War, 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan wars put together. Trump is invading US by sending dubious Federal troops into cities that don't want them. In case you haven't noticed, you don't need AOC to destroy your country. Trump is doing a fantastic job destroying it. It won't be long before it's your children or grandchildren are the refugees trying to get out of the US.
“Having a daughter does not make a man decent. Having a wife does not make a decent man. Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man” -AOC
@show bread when we get a good country lmao
Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man” -AOC WHAT makes a decent woman? Does calling a person a racist without proof make a woman decent? Does calling a person a White Nationalist (in the negative term) without proof a decent woman?Does lying about detained migrants drinking out of toilets a decent woman? What makes a knowledgeable Representative regarding the three Branches of Government? AOC "The Presidency, the House and the Senate". How about the Executive, Judicial and Legislative? We would expect the average citizen to not know this but a Member of the House of Representatives that drafts the Laws of our Nation? Please, don't run again, YOU are a hypocrite and an embarrassment!
History in the making...
This quote has to be recorded in history!
Treating DECENT people with dignity and respect makes a decent man. AOC doesn't meet the criteria.
It’s the fact that he was voted out for me 🤣🤣
AOC is always so direct, clear and rational. Truly someone powerful. Bless her honestly! I know a lot of republicans hate her and I know that’s out of fear for her words. She is always respectful and rational, you can’t hate someone like that.
I have so much respect for how AOC handled this incident and the light she shed on the practice. A teachable moment, if we are all willing to listen.
Brain washed much , laughable !
I agree but I also feel like at this point if she was to lash out, I wouldn’t blame her. We shouldn’t have to teach this same lesson anymore

@Linda Erwin22 And I'll use my 1st amendment rights, YOU are exactly what you've called the Congresswomsn and worse. YOU are a mindless, gutless sheep hiding like a coward behind a keyboard and anonymity... attacking a woman [same species], an elected official, for representing the people of her state. You, a coward, represent mean-spirited creatures that a loving God created, actively and publicly abusing the purpose and privilege of life/living amongst others. Your purpose is yo show the rest of the world why that living and loving God tossed Lucifer and his minions from heaven...disrespecting God and all those made in Her/His image thinking themselves better and smarter than the Creator that made us all. May God have mercy on you because I, a perfectly imperfect woman...surely wouldn't have it within my heart to do so. Slag

I’m at 62-year-old man with two daughters in their 20s. I want to conduct myself and try to conduct myself, in such a way that my daughters don’t have to make excuses for my behavior. It’s difficult to break a lifetime of ignorant habits but it can be done. At least I’m trying! AOC is the future and with smart women and men like her, we can all look forward to the future.
I’m tempted not to post this because you know the trolls are going to eviscerate me… Oh well
This was such a sweet and lovely message. :) I'm around the same age as your daughters.
No one is perfect. The most important thing is that people acknowledge their faults and failures and learn from them. That is how we become better people and a more robust society. Thank you for doing your bit. I'm sure your daughters are proud. x
I actually want to thank you for your post. No need to let them eviscirate you. You spoke like a man and a kind, educated, logical person. Anyone who could troll you clearly is uneducated and ignorant.
BS. This is an honest post. I too have daughters and have plenty of bad habits. I am in the same boat. I don’t need them shaking their heads or misunderstanding where I come from. So I do well to come correct. And it has nothing to do with emasculation or me too. A daughter, a woman, a wife are precious things. For as modern our society is we carry a lot of the Neanderthal ways of our past. Some men think their in an episode of Mad Men and live their lives as such. You have to have thick skin to work on the hill but that doesn’t mean you have to roll with the status quo.
@Common Sense American Her ideas are reality in the country I grew up in. Just because something is new and scary to you doesn't make it Marxist. Just about every developed country in the world has public healthcare, affordable tertiary education, and are making significant moves towards combating climate change. If you can see all these other countries doing it but think America can't, you must have a pretty poor opinion of America.
Thank you for this! This took courage and thank god your daughters have this example!
Well now that’s a “breath of fresh air!”
I am not a big fan of her, but this was a pretty good moment for her. She delivers speeches with such class. I have never seen something like this out of a politician. She may not represent all woman but only a woman can be this powerful.
Compare this to Ted Cruz’s response to Trump calling his wife ugly.

What is sad about the quote “My family did not raise me to take abuse from men” is that many families do raise young girls into women that view their self worth so low that they feel the need to take the abuse to survive, for one reason or another. We fight for all women, even the ones that think they’re not worth it.
You are worth it! If you’re reading this thinking you may have grown in abusive home life, please consider getting therapy in your local area- it works wonders! And if you’re reading this thinking you may be in an abusive relationship now, please look up the criteria of an abusive relationship and seek help! People care about you even if it doesn’t seem like it. I know because I care about you.
It’s even little things like “he’s mean to you because he likes you” or “girls are just emotional so you take it too seriously, toughen up” or “that’s just how boys are” and when I tell random guys off my parents say that’s not “ladylike” and to “let it go” and I just see that as my parents condoning verbal and even physical abuse from boys from a very young age and I refuse to sit back and stay quiet and just because I’m outspoken and I don’t take peoples shit, that makes me no less of a woman or any less feminine so never let anyone run over you. KNOW. YOUR. WORTH.

Very true. Although I fundamentally disagree with AOC on every issue she stands for the one thing that irritates me the most in today’s political climate is that lack of respect for a different opinion. There is no need for any type of hostility or disrespect, especially when they are both professionals. I’m a software engineer and I’ll have meetings where I’ll be disagreeing with my team on certain issues (i work in a very diverse environment) and never would I stoop so low to try and throw someone’s opinion away just because of their gender affiliation, race, religion, etc.. I lean towards the right because of certain values I have but that doesn’t mean I will act rudely to those who don’t believe in the same ideology as me. I am glad she stood up for herself and I am disguised by that gentleman and how he can try and represent my ideas with his type of composure because that is not at all how I want my beliefs to be associated with.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m reinspired to have integrity myself as a man, father, husband.
She knows what it's like to talk people out of bars so let's toss her out of government
