Rush, in his own inimitable fashion, criticizes the latest from AOC.

John Hinderaker, commenting on same, is also blunt: "How Dumb is Ocasio-Cortez?"

David Bernstein has a little fun with Rep. Omar and the increasing anti-Semitism of the hard Left.

He's lucky to be alive--his car was t-boned by a Tesla running a red light doing 93 mph--and he shows it. (Better video here.)
