   He had a lengthy list of politicians on his kill list, and there were   
   plenty of suggestions that it was in reaction to recent votes.   
      
   I don't know what your point is.

   Lacking a citation, it's still bullshit. It's a straw man to rail   
   against unnamed enemies, not a point of debate.

   If I called out AOC constantly for every vile thing she has said, I'd   
   never get any sleep.

   It's not worth reading due to failure to make a well supported argument.   
   I am more than willing to read or listen to people I disagree with.   
   Plenty of times, they may be good enough writers that it was worth the   
   effort. That wasn't the case here.
