And I'll be specific - You and Cheeks, for example. Also, I was listening to CNN this morning on the ride in, and the host had a Democratic guest, and a Republican guest, and they were generally talking about the SOTU. At one point, they were literally arguing about whether AOC was the leader of the Democratic party - the Dem said "of course not", while the Republican guest made a long-winded argument that she the "think-fluential leader" of the Democratic.
What is most disappointing is that I thought it was some clever twist that you and cheeks and few others here dreamed up. I didn't realize that it's an orchestrated rightwing propaganda talking point being touted by conservatives making the talk-show rounds.
