I have nothing against Ms. Lee and I wish her & Oakland well. (Plus @TruePatriot1776 can go fuck himself.) But that said, she is 80 and has been in one office or another for 35 or more years. Where is the new blood, the new vision in the Democrat Party?
I believe it was AUMF 2001 with Afghanistan where she was the only person in congress to vote against. There were a fair number of nay votes on AUMF 2002 for Iraq, especially in the house.
I remember that too! She is an amazing public servant. She’s represented her district with heart and soul! Brilliant individual!
I have so much respect for her.
She was my Congresswoman back during the vote. I'm sure she'll do a great job & I do hope she works with Taylor, he's been a West Oakland advocate for a long time.
Americans have destroyed their own country. Barbara Lee did nothing in Congress her last 10 years and she was on 🇮🇱 payroll.
