I stand with AOC... and Rep Omar!! The war on WOC needs to end... NOW!

I hope more Democratic leaders will let them know they have their backs and tell the RepuKKKes that they need to slither back under their rocks from which they came.

The R's can pretend all they want that it's not dead but they're not fooling anybody.
