AOC back with her fake photo op acting again..

She does appear to have a record of addressing the issue
in a manner reflecting a political agenda, eg, cutting Biden
slack, but not Kavanaugh.
Ocasio-Cortez Says She Is a Sexual Assault Survivor
Is she embellishing for political gain? I don't know.
But it's a non-issue for me. Public policy is independent
of her personal experiences.

I agree with that. I just don't want people to take this personally, because politicians are held to different standards. It seems normal to question their every move, so I think for the sake of decency, it's important to point this out. But I personally have no opinion on it.

I take it you have not only ignored the OP, you also have not bothered reading any of the posts.

Fine. Go ahead and talk about sexual assault in general. Might as well bring out the statistics, and talk about sexual predators too. Seems like a pet-topic to me though, but whatever.

I didn't write the OP, i didnt focus this thread on whether she lied about being abused, that was @Twilight Hue . But if you want to derail the thread by bringing sexual predators into it that's entirely up to you.
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

The OP is all about her propensity for propaganda and appeals to emotion to foreword her political agendas. Thats why I made it.

I never once brought up the sexual assault specifically. Others did.

@Shadow Wolf started talking about her niece. And now you're suggesting that @Twilight Hue claims AOC lied about the abuse, as if we're having a legal discussion in some kind of mock RF courtroom.

...I doubt he ever claimed that. I do think he may have suggested that AOC used a personal past experience as political leverage, which is very possible. Which would explain why we're in the politics section.

AOC's credibility should be the issue.
Consider her accusation that Ted Cruz tried to get her killed.
It's a serious charge, but unsupported.

Yea. I dont know why people don't see it. Cept you of course. *grin*

If I were to make an issue focused about her assault, I would have included that in the title.

The focus is about the way she consistently propagandises using emotion as a tool as an end to a means.

People seem to get stuck in their own mental ruts that seems to prevent them from seeing things from different perspectives.

It would help if people were better listeners, and less emotionally responsive.

The op is about whether she lied about being sexually abused following a situation that would leave most people in fear, those traumatised from sexual abuse more so. It seems to me, from the report you linked that she acted precisely as someone in fear would act. You are calling her a lier for that because you don't agree with her political stance. So rather than arguments how about you proving she was not abused and was therefore lying. Ill wait for your proof to hit these pages

So right, haven't been following the thread. Fair enough

Here's the OP:
Talk about propaganda.

Opinion | AOC and the myth of the perfect sexual assault survivor

Make sure the camera gets her expression right on her good side.

...Where's the word "lie"..?
