TARGETED DEMOCRATS

“The Squad” is a term used in America for a group of progressive Democratic Congress members.

These members of Congress are known as Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Greg Casar, and Summer Lee.

These individuals are known for their stances on certain issues and belong to the left wing of the Democratic Party.

Some of these individuals have also drawn attention recently for their pro-Palestine positions.

In a post on her X account on Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez stated, “Two million people. Half are children. They are starving. They have no communication. Some see a ceasefire as naive or worse. Does anyone have a plan after this destruction?”
