ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO TURNED POLITICS INTO A FIERCE DEMONIZATION GAME ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS POPULARLY ELECTED NEW YORK CONGRESSWOMAN FEARING FOR HER LIFE WHEN SHE GOES TO WORK IN WASHINGTON DC By Halima Aquino Now a Texas man named Garrett Miller is charged with threatening to assasinate #AOC in DC.... Good. Fresno remembers one California media producer that stirred fear and hate against AOC in a commercial for local Republican congressional candidate Elizabeth Heng, who ran and lost her election bid against democratic congressman Jim Costa in California's 16th Congressional District. In the horror-film - like commercial, that was shown at a sports stadium before a Grizzlies game in Fresno, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was demonized and compared with brutal Cambodian dictator Pol Pot of Cambodia. Her likeness was literally torched in the commercial. The idea was that AOC and, by extension, Democratic Latino women and men are eerily dangerous especially if they support democratic socialist initiatives that help people. Strangely enough Jim Costa, who Heng ran against, happens to be the leader of the Blue Dog Democrats in Congress. DEMONIZING LIBERAL WOMEN AND MEN WHO RUN AND SOMETIMES WIN POLITICAL OFFICES, INCLUDING AOC AND OTHERS, IS ATROCIOUS https://www.theguardian.com//alexandria-ocasio-cortez-man-?

HUMAN RIGHTS IS THE FOCUS, POMPEO PROMISES THAT AS HE HAS CHAMPIONED HUMAN RIGHTS BEFORE THE ELECTION, HE WILL CHAMPION THEM AFTER THE ELECTION THE KEY WORDS HERE ARE HUMAN RIGHTS EUROPE BELIEVES THAT MIKE POMPEO CLEVERLY REDEFINED THE TERM ... We have taken in more refugees than any other nation in the world in the past 20 years. - Mike Pompeo DO YOU AGREE THAT HUMAN RIGHTS HAVE BEEN THE FOCUS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION? WE DO NOT. WE AGREE WITH EUROPE Mike Pompeo has a regressive view of human rights Pompeo’s Quest to Redefine Human Rights Draws Concern at U.N. NYT Politics European allies are skeptical of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s push to elevate religious liberty and property rights, which they fear could come at the expense of protecting marginalized groups. State Department representatives reached out to the European Union and other allies like Britain to rally support for Mr. Pompeo’s Commission on Unalienable Rights, officials familiar with the matter said. The commission has come under scrutiny in recent months over fears that it could erode protections for women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The response among European nations has been very skeptical, according to U.N. diplomats who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters. They noted that Mr. Pompeo’s human rights commission had drawn concern among #European countries for its heavy emphasis on religion and for advancing a concept that there could be too many human rights. In response, diplomats said #StateDepartment representatives had rebranded their outreach efforts and would instead ask #UN members on Wednesday to affirm their commitment to a human rights document passed by the body in 1948 a core tenet of Mr. #Pompeo’s commission. U.N. diplomats and human rights experts said that effort was equally worrisome, believing it was a cryptic way to ignore decades’ worth of treaties since 1948 that enshrined protections for #racial #minorities, same-sex couples and women around the globe. It’s moving backward, said Louis Charbonneau, the United Nations director at Human Rights Watch. It’s returning us back to some kind of ‘Leave It to Beaver’ world where the international protections against racial discrimination, against discrimination against women, people with disabilities and L.G.B.T. people don’t exist. https://www.nytimes.com//polit/pompeo-human-rights-un.html https://www.msn.com//pompeo-defends-trump-admi/vi-BB19zI5j
