Like much of the Republican administration, he is a small man, referring to his personality, not his physical form.

“Stephen Miller is a clown! I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4 feet 10 inches. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4 feet 10 inches. And he looks like he is so mad that he is 4 feet 10 inches, that he has taken that anger out on any other population possible,” the New York Rep. said.

Ah yes, definitely referring solely to his personality.

Just stop lying. Disingenuous.

I was, not AOC. You and I can take the high road all we like as outsiders, but AOC shouldn't since it hasn't worked for the Democrats for 15+ years.

Shockingly enough there's more roads than ignoring blatant corruption and resorting to petty name calling.

The former doesn't nothing, as we've seen. And the latter is generally used by shifty characters trying to distract from truly heinous activity happening behind the curtain.

Neither is particularly effective at actually accomplishing anything other than widening the already vast political divide in this country.

They went low and you went so high that nobody else can even see you anymore.

Of course this shit works. Trump won almost exclusively because his voters love that he's a dick to people. Having higher standards than his voters is a good thing but that doesn't change the fact that the argument you're making here is categorically false. This is exactly the kind of language that resonates with the average idiot in America.

Lol no. People have been calling Trump variations of orange man and making fun of his hands, how fat he is, and his shitty suit fit since before he was elected the first time. It clearly doesn't do Jack shit
