“There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for violence. No consequences for racism. No consequences for misogyny. No consequences for insurrection. And no consequences means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance," says @AOC.

Very powerful and scary statements. We all see it. We all feel it. Democrats have one chance to be bold NOW with legeslation, regardless of GOP. If they don’t, and allow GOP to stall, in ‘22 this fringe caucus will claim power and democrats will never be in front again.
