Examples of dishonorable speech by Alexandria Ocasio-cortez:
Apr. 13, 2021:
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Apr. 13, 2021 tweet:
“Daunte Wright’s killing was not a random, disconnected ‘accident’ – it was the repeated outcome of an indefensible system that grants impunity for state violence, rewards it w/ endlessly growing budgets at the cost of community investment, & targets those who question that order.”
Dishonorable speech categories:
#12 (level 1) implying bad intent (“indefensible system”), #13 offering opinion as fact (“not a[n]… accident,” “indefensible,” “rewards”), #11 misrepresenting reality – over-simplification (“impunity for state violence”), #11 misrepresenting reality – cherry picking (“at the cost of community investment”)
Suggested more honorable version:
Daunte Wright’s killing was not a random, disconnected “accident,” in my opinion. I believe contributing factors include officials & laws that grant impunity for certain state violence, police budget increases that I believe reward such violence and would be better spent investing in communities, & people who are critical of those who question the situation. [I’ve assumed that Ocasio-Cortez believes the things I’m suggesting she does.]
