#OcasioCortez Warns #Trump #NYCRally Was Primer for Taking Power 'by Force'

"That's what they're doing when they're inciting violence and hatred against #Latinos, against #BlackAmericans, against Americans who don't have children."

"U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Monday that the hate-filled campaign rally held by former Republican President Donald Trump at #MadisonSquareGarden in New York City was meant to further prime supporters for another #January 6 - style attempt to seize power by force if Democratic Vice President #KamalaHarris wins next month's election.

"Sunday's event—which drew comparisons to a #1939NaziRally that packed the iconic Midtown Manhattan arena—featured speakers including billionaire #ElonMusk, conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and comedian #TonyHinchcliffe, who called the U.S. territory of #PuertoRico a 'floating island of garbage.'

"Although the Trump campaign has attempted to distance the GOP presidential candidate from Hinchcliffe's bigoted remarks, Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said during a Monday interview on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' that Sunday's event was 'not just a presidential rally,' it was 'a hate rally.' "

"Much of the mainstream media coverage of anti-trans legislation has focused on families of trans youth that have been forced to flee their home states. Often left out, however, are the stories of subterranean survival from the invisible majority of young trans Texans, mostly youth of color, who can’t leave."

I suspect we'll be reading lots of ""I never thought leopards would eat MY face" stories now, sad to say.

"After winning historic # of Latinos,Trump names as border czar man who told 60 Minutes he would avoid family separation in mass deportation by also removing US citizen kids w/undocumented parents. (There are 4m such Latino kids.)"
