In a recent MSNBC interview, Democrat Congressman Jim Himes attempted miserably to warn Republicans about the dangers of unchecked presidential power by hypothetically suggesting that a future President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could use similar authority to target her political opponents with deadly strikes. Himes made the comment while criticizing President Trump’s unauthorized military actions against suspected drug traffickers, urging his “MAGA friends” to imagine the consequences under a Democrat administration.
The remark quickly drew backlash from conservative outlets, with some labeling it as an insinuation that AOC might kill enemies if she ascended to the presidency. Social media users, particularly on X, expressed outrage over Himes’ statement, viewing it as a veiled threat to MAGA. Critics argued that Himes’ hypothetical scenario highlighted partisan hypocrisy on issues of presidential authority and national security.
Separately, woke podcaster Jennifer Welch sparked widespread condemnation after laughing during a segment where an activist celebrated the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Welch urged Democrat leaders to align with far-left sentiments that clearly endorse violence against conservatives, warning that failure to do so could lead radicals to target them similarly.
Her comments, made on her podcast, included a call for the Democrat establishment to “jump on board” with those cheering Kirk’s death or face internal repercussions. Conservative circles blasted Welch as promoting violence, with some calling her remarks “beyond evil” and demanding accountability.
