AOC channels angry Biden, mocks crowd of Trump supporters as 'pileup of chumps'



Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) mocked a caravan of Trump supporters on Sunday, referring to the crowd as a "pileup of chumps."

What are the details?

The progressive New York lawmaker made the derogatory remarks in response to a tweet showing a caravan of vehicles hoisting pro-Trump banners and blocking traffic on Whitestone Bridge along Interstate 678, which connects the Bronx and Queens.

"I hope AOC isn't using the Whitestone Bridge today there is a lot of traffic!" the original tweet read.

"I took the Throggs Neck. Heard there was a pileup of chumps on the Whitestone," Ocasio-Cortez, who represents portions of the Bronx and Queens, shot back.

The Twitter account that sent the first tweet includes the moniker "Chump for Trump" as part of its handle.

What else?

The Twitter user didn't pull the slogan "Chump for Trump" out of nowhere. Rather, it is more than likely in reference to comments made by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden during a campaign speech in Pennsylvania last month.

During the speech, a large group supporters of President Trump gathered outside the event area and began honking their car horns while some shouted "Four More Years!" through megaphones.

Biden became noticeably irritated at the Trump supporters and referred to them as "chumps" twice during his remarks.

"By the way, we don't do things like those chumps out there with the microphone are doing, the Trump guys," Biden said at one point. "Look, we've got to come together.

"I'll work as hard for those who don't support me as those who do, including those chumps at the microphone out there," the former vice president said later in the speech.

Anything else?

Though not quite as inflammatory, the condescending remarks are reminiscent of 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables." The insult became a rallying cry for many in Trump's base, who proudly wore the label as a badge of honor.

White SUV reportedly driven by Biden-Harris staffer 'may be' at fault for collision with Trump supporter's truck during caravan, cops say



Dying-on-their-hills Democrats have been beside themselves since video surfaced over the weekend showing vehicles festooned with flags supporting President Donald Trump surrounding a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign bus on Interstate 35 in Texas.

The chairwoman of the Travis County Democratic Party claimed, "Today, @realDonaldTrump supporters followed the Biden bus throughout central Texas to intimidate Biden supporters. They ran into a person's car, yelling curse words and threats. Don't let bullies win, vote."

There was even video of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Trump supporter in a black pickup bashing into a white SUV, which some members of the Texas Democrats' campaign say was being driven by a Biden-Harris staffer, KXAN-TV reported:

FBI investigating alleged harassment of Biden campaign bus in Texas youtu.be

But it seems an honest look at the infamy-filled moment could possibly lead one to conclude that the white SUV maybe, just maybe, wasn't staying in his or her lane — as leftists are so fond of saying these days. After which the driver of the black pickup made sure the other driver didn't get any closer.

Conservative commentator Dana Loesch tweeted images of the incident that appear to show as much:

Was it distracted driving on the part of the person operating the white SUV? A big ol' Texas bug on the steering wheel? Or is said motorist simply a Dallas Cowboys fan?

Listen to what the man said

In regard to the collision in question, San Marcos police said they researched the crash and watched online video and said "the at-fault vehicle may be the white SUV, and the victim appears to be the black truck," KXAN reported.

Police added that "calls to the driver of the white SUV have gone unanswered, and SMPD has not been contacted by the driver of the black truck. Since SMPD has not spoken to either driver at this time, additional investigation would be required to fully ascertain who was at fault," the station noted.

The statement added that involved parties could contact San Marcos police if they wanted to file a report, KXAN said.

Anything else?

The incident led the Biden campaign to cancel three Texas events on Friday. Trump, as you might imagine, loved the show of support:

Far-left agitators call for death of 'Nazi' cops, scream at NYPD: 'Hope all of your children get raped and killed'



Deplorable demonstrators hurled vicious slurs and made heinous remarks to the faces of NYPD officers on Saturday. Malicious members of an anti-Trump and "anti-fascist" mob wished death upon the children of police officers.

There was an anti-Trump march in Manhattan on Saturday against "racism" and fascism, where the crowd chanted: "Black lives matter!" The march was organized by the United Against Racism and Fascism NYC, a self-proclaimed "broad-based coalition in NYC opposing racism & bigotry, and united in solidarity & action against fascism." The march was promoted by the "New York City Antifa" Twitter account.

At one point, the demonstration escalated, and the situation became physical. NYPD officers are seen detaining at least one person. The New York Post reported that three people were arrested as of 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Photos appear to show NFL wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins giving Trump supporters two middle fingers



Photos appear to show an NFL player giving Trump supporters the middle finger as he drove past in a sports car on Arizona's I-10 highway Sunday.

Multiple reports indicate that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, 28, appeared to flip off a miles-long caravan of Trump supporters as he drove past in his Ferrari on the way to State Farm Stadium for Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

According to KSAZ-TV, a caravan of people supporting President Donald Trump for re-election rallied that day on several Arizona highways, including I-17, Loop 101, 202, and I-10.

#NEW Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins seemingly gives the bird to Trump supporters on I-10 https://t.co/8AviD7xt6y
— FOX 10 Phoenix (@FOX 10 Phoenix)1603673100.0

Hopkins was reportedly seen driving past the caravan, making obscene gestures along the way, around 1:30 p.m. According to the Arizona Republic, Hopkins was wearing a distinctive shirt that he was seen wearing when he arrived at the stadium later that afternoon.

Members of the pro-Trump caravan accused Hopkins of driving recklessly, speeding and swerving in and out of the caravan line.

"It's scary when they are coming up fast and swerving into you," April Garcia, one of the drivers in the caravan, said. She also noted other "intolerant" people threw water and other objects at the Trump supporters.

Others on social media called out Hopkins for his behavior.

So far neither the Cardinals nor the Arizona Department of Public Safety have released a statement about the incident, KSAZ reported.

The Cardinals beat the formerly undefeated Seahawks Sunday night 37-34. Hopkins, one of the NFL's best wide receivers, ended the game with 10 receptions for 103 yards, scoring one touchdown.

Hopkins is a vocal Black Lives Matter supporter and critic of President Trump.

In June, Hopkins starred in a video along with other NFL stars including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Cleveland Browns receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, and others condemning police brutality after the death of George Floyd.

"How many times do we need to ask you to listen to your players? What will it take? For one of us to be murdered by police brutality?" the players asked the league.

"I am George Floyd," Hopkins and the others said.

Back in 2018, Hopkins, then playing for the Houston Texans, said Trump is too "closed-minded" to understand the NFL national anthem protests.

"I think Trump is more closed-minded and he thinks the reason that we're kneeling is because of the flag," Hopkins told TMZ Sports. "When that's like not at all the reason we're kneeling. I kneeled last year and one of my best friends is a Purple Heart veteran and my uncle is a Purple Heart veteran and they understand that it's not about the flag."

Massive 'Jews for Trump' rally in NYC, pro-Trump caravan attacked with rocks, eggs and paint



There was a massive pro-Trump car parade on Sunday in New York City. The parade was touted as the "largest Jewish car parade in history." Vehicles left from Coney Island to drive by Trump Tower in Manhattan and finish with a Trump rally in a park in Brooklyn.

The convoy of cars and trucks plastered with "Trump 2020" flags reportedly stretched for miles. Former NYC Mayor and President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani was also seen mixed in with the parade in Manhattan.
