        I have watched many Dems use that sexist slur and state it is perfectly acceptable when called out.

        This was an outstanding takedown of the toxic masculinity women have been forced to put up with.

        There is an hypocrisy here. I do like AOC and she is right on, but then I have been consistent. I find it incredible watching people cheer AOC as they defend their using the word.

        and I hope all DUers will take 10 minutes out of their day to experience this righteous statement made on behalf of all women and girls.
And to Ted Yoho, I can only say enjoy your newfound status as a skidmark, asshole.
