If Fresno Grizzlies Don’t Fire Someone for Ocasio-Cortez Video, the Nationals Must
The way to oppose hateful speech, and the implicit incitement to violence that always lies within it, is to find out who did it and punish them. Nothing else will do.
When that incitement to hate occurs on the watch of a business, then those responsible must be identified, named and fired. The Washington Nationals are on the clock.
The Fresno Grizzlies, the Nationals’ Class AAA affiliate, need to find, and fire, whatever employees failed to monitor, and prevent a video on Memorial Day that placed an image of a duly-elected member of Congress alongside photos of dictators — all of them characterized as “enemies of freedom.”
No should not be fired. Honest mistake. Not like some of our new Congress who are anti-american and make all their hateful comments. Nothing happens to them.
Sorry, mam, but representatives elected to Congress cannot be titled “anti-American” just because you happen to disagree with them. They represent the viewpoints of the majority of their constituents (who are American citizens), or they would not have been elected. You are not “more American” than Rep Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents. And if for some strange reason you think you are, I would suggest you take a basic civics class and learn what a Democracy actually is.
Once again, when will you idiots learn, WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY, WE’RE A REPUBLIC and last I heard it’s still that way and although I understand some of you wish we were socialists we’re not and don’t expect us to embrace someone who is.
No one needs to be fired. Freedom of expression and speech shall not be infringed.! If we dont like your stance on tops, that we disagree with, we have every right to describe you as fear mongering and incompetent.
