[image-1] An email sent by the Ohio College Republican Federation yesterday called a Democratic congresswoman a “domestic terrorist,” a label often used to describe mass shooters and perpetrators of other violent acts.
The fundraising missive signed by OCRF Chairman and University of Dayton student Tom Ferrall begins with the subject line “AOC is a Domestic Terrorist.”
The rest of the email isn’t quite as inflammatory and includes common conservative talking points that college students are being “brainwashed” by “Marxist professors.”
The email, first reported by a reporter with the nonprofit investigative news agency Center for Public Integrity, also contains two pleas for recipients to contribute “$25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or more today.”
Ferrall says the email came from an unnamed fundraising group that OCRF has since fired and that he never saw or approved the message.
The language of the email is nearly identical to previous fundraising messages the group has sent out recently, albeit with a new subject line.
Some of those previous emails also contained language critical of Ocasio-Cortez, a freshman New York representative with unabashedly left-leaning positions, though no others used the phrase “domestic terrorist” before yesterday’s.
“This puts me in danger every time,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted after the email spread on social media. “Almost every time this uncalled for rhetoric gets blasted by conserv. grps, we get a spike in death threats to refer to Capitol Police.”
In the same tweet, Ocasio-Cortez pins threats she has received on Republicans, asking, “GOP, what’s it going to take to stop?”
The college Republican group, which says it operates more than 30 chapters on campuses across the state, including ones at University of Cincinnati and Xavier University, has since disavowed the email and apologized.
“The OCRF does not condone the unauthorized email sent out in our name,” the group tweeted. “We apologize to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez for the use of unacceptable language in this email, and we do not approve of the message conveyed.”
The University of Dayton released a statement today saying that Ferrall improperly used a student email address to send the fundraising solicitations.
“Respect for others is a core value of the university and we emphasize the importance of civil discourse,” UD’s statement reads. “We do talk with students and offer numerous opportunities to explore issues of dialogue and professionalism in curricula and experiential learning opportunities.”

Really? Accurate, you say? Pray tell, who(m) has she threatened with bodily harm?
You really are a piece of work and should be vanished from your own mind.
College Republicans would love a visit to the Oval Orifice, because they have their heads up their own.
It’s so strange that right before this person blew up with Fame, she posted a pic of herself on Instagram where she is holding up the white power/illuminati/circle game signal.
She then was given millions in campaign donations which she funnelled into private companies. A sloppy “documentary” was hurriedly made and awarded at Sundance then Netflix gave her a check for 10 million dollars. Now she poses with fake poise and talks with fake intelligence.
So Ohio College Republicans are just as ignorant as regular Republicans. The entire party couldn’t locate two brain cells to rub together, how is this news?
Calling this monster a domestic terrorist falls short. AOC is a demonic entity.
Stop protecting these evil people from exposure.
Cleve scene deleted the comment informing you all that the group known as the Young Turks held a casting call for a candidate in that district in which this person formerly known as Sandy Ocasio won. The Young Turks openly admit they are doing this in primary elections all over the country to install radical leftists into more elected positions.
Why would scene want to hide this information from you?
Why would they delete comments about AOC pandering to an African American audience by changing her accent to one she thought sounded more black? They support corrupt people.
AOC looks like she stinks. I have not been close to her but she looks like someone who always has the odor of shit around them. Why do you think her boyfriend doesn’t live with her or never popped the question?
