This week, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was harassed as she tried to
enter the Capitol.
It was disgusting stuff that literally everyone can condemn.
It's a minimum bar that of course the right couldn't meet, take a look at this.
>> The left, this whole episode is perfectly emblematic of the left.
The left is incredibly vicious when attacking anybody who disagrees with
them or stands in their way in, any way.
But when they are confronted with any kind of even mild affront like this,
they immediately retreat into victimhood, all right?
So I'm not saying that this guy should have been doing this,
he should not have been doing this.
But she immediately takes to social media, and she begins whining about the fact that
he was calling her and the capitol police didn't do their job and so on.
It is a cult of victimhood that the left just languishes in and luxuriates in and
I gotta say if she was offended by this particular incident, Jesse.
She and the left could not survive five minutes of what Donald Trump or
Clarence Thomas or anybody on the right goes through all day every day for years.
>> Okay, people love to say that the right doesn't get comedy, but
that last comment was actually pretty funny.
I appreciate that from Monica Crowley.
I also appreciate being told that I as a leftist dwell in a cult of victimhood from
a person on a network that will constantly remind you that no one suffers more racial
discrimination than white people.
No one suffers more religious discrimination than Christians.
It's really, really tough to be sis and straight, and
especially if you're wealthy.
Those are the people who are real victims.
But here, AOC, who probably has to think at least once or
twice a day if this is the day that she'll be physically assaulted or
sexually assaulted by the deranged masses.
That love to consume Fox News.
She's the one who is being a victim after the harassment that she suffered.
Rever, What do you think about this?
>> [SOUND] I mean, I just like you said John,
it was like you can't write comedy like that at the end.
I didn't know which way she was gonna go, for a moment I thought she was gonna say
they wouldn't last five minutes in Afghanistan or something.
Like on it, that's what I felt she was gonna go with it because that was
when AOC was talking about being a server and how difficult that was.
That was one of their favorites, hilarious, to then dwell and
luxuriate in their own victimhood [LAUGH] to prove their point.
It's just hilarious to me.
And also the setup of like I'm not saying he should have been doing this.
She's way worse.
[LAUGH] >> Yep.
>> Her reaction to being harassed is way worse.
Which is just such a consistent conservative view of like, yeah,
we shouldn't do that.
But your response is way worse than what's actually happening to you.
[LAUGH] >> 100%.
>> It's like just classic conservative gaslighting.
>> Yeah, so we're not gonna show the video again.
But it was a weirdo creep who decided to stalk AOC and
shout sexual things at her.
He calls himself a comedian, and technically anyone can do that.
Anyone can call themselves a comedian, and I'm not a comedian.
>> And they do, John.
They do.
>> They do. >> They certainly do [LAUGH].
>> Yeah, I couldn't detect any comedy there.
It felt like the only objective was not humor.
It was to make AOC feel constantly as if she is constantly at risk of being
assaulted, murdered or raped.
That is the overall goal that they're going for there.
He was a tool this particular week in doing that, Crowley,
of course, knows that she's a woman in politics in media.
I have no doubt that considering the hell world we live in,
she suffers harassment, sexual harassment threats and those things.
Any woman with a high profile will, and yet
she referred to the sexual harassment as verbal mentions.
People love to say that Twitter isn't the real world.
I would add the corollary, the real world isn't Twitter.
They're not verbal mentions it was yelled harassment and
said she took that as an affront.
By the way,
he yelled out that she was my favorite big-booty Latina who wants to kill babies.
Because the only thing that makes sexual harassment better is the implication that
the person you're harassing you consider to be some immoral criminal just to get
a little bit of physical threat into the sexual threat there.
The issue of course Rever is that AOC wasn't offended by this.
>> [LAUGH] all right.
>> It's not a fence.
It's stalking and the threat of violence.
The constant threat of violence.
She wasn't aggrieved about it.
She doesn't want to be killed.
>> Yeah, it's funny just the levels of diminishment from Crowley as though
like to move the goalposts and pretend this is like this guy's just.
>> Yeah.
>> Taking Twitter to the streets, which even if you believe that is bad [LAUGH].
Because Twitter has created this anonymous space where people can say things that
they wouldn't normally say in real life,
and now additionally the reverse has happened.
Which is then you go into real life, and you have this powerful thing
that you've been doing, and you do it in real life and suffer no repercussions.
Because you're a dude yelling at a woman.
>> Yeah. >> Who's a leftist they [LAUGH] might not
be protected by the cops of course on the Capitol steps it's like and
the fact that she's pointing it out it's like it never stops for her.
And it never stops for women particularly.
It's like it happens to you, you say something, and then you're punished for
saying something as though there's some way that you could have done it better.
Like, if you wouldn't have walked there that day then he wouldn't have found you,
and you shouldn't have worn that dress.
And you should have walked this way, you should have gotten away faster or
been nicer to him or like, and then you should just keep it to yourself.
It's like there's never a way that you can actually do it, all right?
And so that's what I respect about AOC is that she doesn't try to do that, [LAUGH].
>> Exactly, yeah.
>> She just tries to do what she believes is right for each situation.
>> Yeah, I respect that too.
I worry like she's talked previously.
>> Yeah. >> About like everyone assumes she wants
to be in politics her whole life, and she's been very clear in interviews.
She has no idea if she wants to because of how draining and grading and depressing it
all is, and that of course is the goal they want to drive or out of politics.
This is why they harass actors and comedians and all of that.
They love to talk about cancel culture briefly before they resume trying to end
people's careers and make sure that they don't feel safe and comfortable,
whether in social media or literally just walking around to get to their job.
That's what this is about.
>> Okay.
>> And as Rever said the threats are constant last year, the Department of
Justice charged a Texas man who allegedly stormed the Capitol on January 6th and
threatened to kill AOC on social media.
Last year, Representative Paul Gosar literally one of her colleagues tweeted
an anime clip of him murdering her.
And earlier this year a Florida man pleaded guilty to threatening to kill her
and speaker Nancy Pelosi, that's what they want.
But she's the bad guy, and
not just on Jesse Watters show last night on outnumbered.
They're still talking about it.
AOC slams her own harassment but
not Kavanaugh's implying that she is not considering those to be the same thing.
And I would say, why she's not considering those to be the same thing because they're
not the same thing.
>> [LAUGH] They're not the same thing in the same ballpark [LAUGH].
>> Who?
There was no threat of sexual violence against Brett Kavanaugh.
He literally never even saw the protesters.
>> It was a candlelight vigil of his own neighbors [LAUGH].
People who actually know him [LAUGH] like it's so very different.
It's incredible to me.
And like this honestly goes back to childhood.
Like literally, we talked about bullying for so long,
and now we don't really talk about it anymore.
>> Mm-hm. At least not as much as we used to but
it's such a classic at least in my experience like childhood bullying move
for this bully to be like just constantly messing with people and pushing them and
pushing them and pushing them and then finally somebody fights back and
then the bullies like dad or mom or parent comes in and is like you guys are treating
my kid like you know it's like that classic thing of like tip for tat and
like there just isn't like that, you can't compare one person stalking another person
to 50 neighbors having a candlelight vigil outside of a justice's house quietly,
you know, like that's right.
You they love to,
they that is the conservative viewpoint is they will create the terms for everything.
Like we are constantly debating on their terms as opposed to presenting our own,
you know?
Yeah, yeah.
And and were consistent if if these comments and
what we'll get to this a bit more, but if these comments were
against a Republican lawmaker, we wouldn't think they're acceptable.
If somebody's protest against Kavanaugh was literally just walking around him and
yelling about his penis.
I wouldn't support that either.
But consistency is a thing that we value.
They don't care about it.
They're not interested.
