The Ringo Starr of AOC's Squad, Ayanna Pressley, decided it would be a good idea to tweet this out today:
Because, I guess, everything that Representative Pressley doesn't like is now Jim Crow.
Of course, the filibuster has absolutely nothing to do with Jim Crow. There's not even a tenuous connection between the two things. If you want to know about the history of the filibuster, FEE has a good short history on it.
The Squad and the Left are able to find racism under every rock and behind every tree. But right-wing Twitter is not going to let Ringo get away with this one.
"Everything that offends me is racist" is a terrible and ridiculous way to go through life.
Some are pointing out that this game has been played before, and she is going to regret this if it happens again.
Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.
