AOC claims to have been accosted on the steps of the Capital

Even if this story is true (and I'm going to guess it's somewhere between "mostly false", and "pants on fire"), why should I care if Congresscritters get into a verbal spat? Oh, AOC has the answer to that

Gotta love Republican courage from Rep @RogerWilliamsTX: when he undeniably sees another man engaged in virulent harassment of a young woman, just pretend you never saw it in the most cartoonish manner possible and keep pushing.

Oh no you don't. You're a member of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, not some shrinking violet. You can fight your own battles, not demand your opposition do it for you. If you can't, well, maybe we shouldn't allow "young women" to hold high office any more.

The literal entire point of America is that you're allowed to say bad things about the government.

AOC needs to be flogged in public.
