Summary

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) sparked controversy with a fiery speech outside the Treasury Department, declaring, “We are at war!” and calling for the Senate to be shut down in response to Elon Musk’s access to federal payment systems.

Her remarks, applauded by some Democrats, drew backlash from Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who likened them to “a call for insurrection.”

    Insurrection when you’re just mad you lost an election: 😁

    Insurrection when your government is doing blatantly illegal things and the branch of government and party to which you belong refuses to hold anyone accountable because you’re all complicit traitors: 😡

      Left wing still doesn’t know how to respond to the instigators…

      You don’t say “but you did it for invalid reasons”.

      You say stuff like

      “CANCEL CULTURE!! I’m being CANCELLED!”

      “DONT MESS WITH MY RIGHTS UNLESS YOU WANT TO FIND OUT!”

      “Snowflakes can’t handle the TRUTH”

      Etc.
