What's this?

I don't agree with all of it. I could have a very lengthy discussion

on her statements, but I know you either don't care about it or don't have the intellectual capacity for nuance.

However, I don't see what justifies painting her as a terrorist sympathizer, and I ADMIT that I haven't analyzed it or all of her other statements to know. Please point me to the specific thing(s) which justifies painting her as a terrorist.

And even if she does sympathize with terrorists, why not open a dialogue with her to understand her? She is after all, an elected official.

Trump was given multiple occasions to refute his racism, and he has refused. If you give her the same opportunities and she refuses, I am with you - but show me where she is a terrorist sympathizer and where she has been given opportunities to refute that and has refused.
