Yes, they are American, but they are not America, which is what I said. By that I meant, they do not represent the vast majority of opinion. Want proof? The House voted to oppose the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel movement put up by the extremist liberals and the vote passed by a HUGE margin. Democrats don't support the extreme left positions of Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Most don't support AOC or Ayesha either. Those are not mainstream views. They are the VERY LOUD views of the extreme minority. But they get all the press, because they are young and have mastered modern digital communication on social media and the MSM loves them. But "the squad" will lose the Democrats the 2020 election, because increasingly the Dem party is being identified as "the Squad" and that terrifies most Americans.

House passes bill opposing BDS, exposing divide among Democrats
The House on Tuesday passed legislation to oppose the global boycott movement against Israel, laying bare Democratic divisions on relations with the key U.S. ally.
The resolution to put lawmakers on the record opposing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement to press Israel on human rights issues in its conflict with Palestinians passed easily on a 398-17 vote, with five members voting present. Sixteen Democrats, mostly progressives, voted against it.
The resolution’s opponents included progressive freshmen Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who support the BDS movement. |
