Have you called it? As recently as two weeks ago a call to the Jackson Heights office.... George II Jun 2019 #90
Ah thanks. BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #113
It is a BS attack because it is 2019 and nearly everyone has a cell phone with long distance. Ace Rothstein Jun 2019 #118
Yes it does matter in a relatively poor, elderly district with a large percentage of immigrants.... George II Jun 2019 #120

It's the catch phrase... tonedevil Jun 2019 #30
I'm more concerned that he was shouted down Loki Liesmith Jun 2019 #66
Your argument is that using the word "sashay" is inherently homophobic? jcgoldie Jun 2019 #99
What would be the reaction, from her and her people, if Delaney told HER to "sashay away"? George II Jun 2019 #19
She'd say Bettie Jun 2019 #37
You haven't been following her on twitter. George II Jun 2019 #38
Exactly! nt Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #55
Yeah. This is ridiculous. I don't know how people are turning this in to a homophobic issue. Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2019 #25
I pray you are never walking down the street with a friend, or even alone, DonViejo Jun 2019 #44
That's a bit of a stretch. Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2019 #53
My brother used to live on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village.... George II Jun 2019 #56
Wow.. why would she even Cha Jun 2019 #80

Precisely.. everyone has a right to their opinion.. even AOC.. I don't tell her to get off the stage Peacetrain Jun 2019 #10
And in an obnoxious, homophobic way of being told, too. George II Jun 2019 #18
Apparently Not DarthDem Jun 2019 #94

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and homophobic tropes are not a good look .... stonecutter357 Jun 2019 #11
Not good at all, especially coming only a day after she bailed on the Queens Pride Parade.... George II Jun 2019 #33
Indeed. (nt) ehrnst Jun 2019 #107
Love it! TruckFump Jun 2019 #14
Who is she to tell ANY Democrat what to do? "Sashay away"? GMAFB!!!! George II Jun 2019 #16
So agree. And I'm ashamed of the no-nothings who boo Hortensis Jun 2019 #34
Imagine if she tried running for president wellst0nev0ter Jun 2019 #76
Well, the Sanders zealots who've been booing all Democratic Hortensis Jun 2019 #88
Right? mcar Jun 2019 #42
Most of us here are at least twice her age. Chin music Jun 2019 #20
Yep, a lot of the younger voters are involved because of her... DonViejo Jun 2019 #21
From what I hear from my Democratic friends in the 14th District, they may wind up telling her to... George II Jun 2019 #22
Maybe so. Chin music Jun 2019 #27
Yes. I've used sashay before Chin music Jun 2019 #26
It's almost like people have given up wellst0nev0ter Jun 2019 #77
Perhaps, but there are two sides to that, watching because of her is not necessarily positive thing. George II Jun 2019 #23
Yes. Beats looking at the trump family though. Chin music Jun 2019 #28

Sanders supporters have now gone after Warren in a big way on twitter: George II Jun 2019 #45
It is unfortunate. They don't debate her on the issues, but instead choose to personally attack her still_one Jun 2019 #54

Delaney responds: George II Jun 2019 #47
So much better than her "too cool for school" crap RelativelyJones Jun 2019 #49
Great Response from John Delaney! Cha Jun 2019 #71
Delaney's response to her was mature and intelligent, which her tweet definitely wasn't. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #86
+1! Cha Jun 2019 #100
Awesome Response DarthDem Jun 2019 #97

Exactly! The whole thing is silly. DanTex Jun 2019 #101
Yup. A distraction, possibly an intentional one. Far easier to make a point of this than... TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #105

Perhaps she should "sashay" over to Delaney's website and read his climate change plan: George II Jun 2019 #73
But she's talking about M4A wellst0nev0ter Jun 2019 #78
Sorry, I copied the wrong link (was looking at several of his proposals on his site) - here it is: George II Jun 2019 #91
I'm glad he takes it seriously but that plan is a not a good one. Corporations will gladly pay the Kurt V. Jun 2019 #79
Another objectionable thing said by Cortez. The lines are adding up. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #81
Couple that comment with her cancelling her appearance at this weekend's Queens Pride Parade.... George II Jun 2019 #92
So better policy and politivs is to keep the current, massively dysfunctional system? guillaumeb Jun 2019 #82
No, but "Medicare for all" polls at about 30% positive Recursion Jun 2019 #116
And that proves the power of advertising to convince people guillaumeb Jun 2019 #119
Not really. If you have good private insurance the American system is really good Recursion Jun 2019 #121
I disagree. guillaumeb Jun 2019 #122
