With a 20 percent approval rating for Congress, there’d be a lot of prosecutions.
Democratic Florida Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, after inspecting an immigrant detention facility in Homestead, Florida Tuesday, announced that anyone critical of members of Congress online ought to be prosecuted.
Wilson’s comments come in the wake of a report exposing a vulgar Facebook page involving current and former border patrol agents who were highly critical of some pro-illegal immigrant lawmakers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Jail Those Who Mock Congress
She vowed to fight the private Facebook page and criminally charge those involved.
“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable,” said Wilson.
“We’re gonna shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted,” she announced. “You cannot intimidate members of Congress, frighten members of Congress. It is against the law, and it’s a shame in this United States of America.”
Those ‘intimidating’ efforts involved suggestions to hit “Ocasio-Cortez and Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar with burritos as they visit CBP facilities,” and they were made in a private Facebook group.

Wilson Mocks Trump
Does making fun of a sitting President count as a prosecutable offense?
In 2018, when Wilson publicized a private conversation between Trump and a Gold Star widow, she lashed out by calling him “crazy” and declared he had “a brain disorder.”

Previously she had asserted that “the president is desperate for attention and needs psychological help.”
What Else Did She Say
After suggesting citizens poking fun at members of Congress should be prosecuted, Wilson pivoted to attacking the Trump administration’s handling of illegal immigrants, something she failed to criticize when Barack Obama was in office and doing the same exact things.
“This administration has shown a blatant disregard for the mental and physical health of children in custody,” she whined. “They’re spending weeks, and even months, in detention conditions that are tantamount to living under house arrest. We are upset about it.”
Maybe they’re in facilities tantamount to house arrest because … well, they broke the law.
With stupid comments like that, she’ll need to prosecute a lot of people.

mock, mock,mock, come and get me, you old bag.
That damn Fredineedsome dick don’t have enough scents to do nothing but wear some kind of cowboy costume and act stupid and do nothing then run them monkey lips
When Congress Socialist do their job, that is; up holding the laws of the Constitution, not trying to replace it with Socialism/Communism Stop the crimes against American citizens; taking their God given rights away, like FREE SPEECH & FREEDOM. Putting law breaking, Illegal Aliens above the law & FIRST! before American Citizens, & purposely dividing American Citizens to civil unrest, to weaken us for their move to over throw the Republic. Stop stealing & spending tax payers $$ for vacations & extravagant Air Force plane parties & sending Billions to support other countries that are either terrorist & one’s that are not are allies. You can’t & will not have any respect for people in the House that commit TREASON!. They have to earn it & Congress sure hasn’t done ANYTHING to deserve any respect. But have succeeded in destroying the peoples Faith, Trust, Confidence & Admiration, that should be given to a well operating Govt. system. Along with setting a respected & positive example for us, our children & other countries, who see us (while laughing at us) a weakened, failing nation, thats ready to take over, by another power nation or the Globalist. Wilson demands arrest for stating a opinion, or free speech, then she should be one of the 1st to be handcuffed, “OH” but her & the rest of congress believe, they are above the law. But they display treasonous against a sitting President & still walk free!
If they are mocking the President and getting away with it,you don’t stand a chance with those ridiculous hats that you wear!
She is a bit confused. But that is a normal state of mind for her. It is illegal for someone to threaten a member of congress with bodily harm. It is not illegal to mock or make fun of them. That is free speech and protected under the Constitution. Some of our officials in Congress make it very easy for us to mock or make fun of them. And some are a mockery of congressional representation.
This broom jockey can dish it out but she can’t take it.. I have got an idea ,stop saying ridiculous and totally false statements, and maybe we will stop laughing at you all. Just a thought. Try it for a while and see if it works . You can always go back to being a jerk, if it does not work out.
“Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable,” said Wilson. She also said “anyone critical of members of Congress online ought to be PROSECUTED“. Then why isn’t she and many other Democrats in jail because they are constantly making fun of and are very critical of President Trump.
Wilson is a clown and if she were smart she would get a lot more attention…how do you elect these imposters Florida?
Everybody laughs at the clowns that comprise “ Congress”. They provide us so much cannon fodder without really trying.
She’s amazing. It’s okay to mock our President and attack conservatives both physically and verbally but people who mock Congress should be in jail. What a piece of work. This woman has no clue.
Frederica Wilson should be prosecuted for falsely claiming to be an American. She is a fraud ! Hispanic hoe !
There goes democracy. You can understand the attraction held by socialism/ totalitarianism. But in these days of “open borders, why don’t people who hate freedom move somewhere more compatible with their beliefs ?
And WHY do we pay for Presidents and Vice Presidents for the rest of their lives? These people are multi-millionaires, they do NOT deserve a pension for 4 or 8 years in office, and they need to pay for their own extravagant lifestyles! And that goes for these BULLSHIITE presidential libraries too.
When the Founders setup Congress there were two things they never wanted to happen. First to serve in Congress was not to be a career but a service to the nation. Second it’s membership was never to become an American Aristocracy. What is going on today with Congress begs for either an Article 5 Convention of the States or a National Referendum to revamp Congress. There are people who have held the same seat for so long they actually think they own it. And why does an elected position that is not really a career deserve a retirement plan and one that is wayyy better than that of the military and Federal Law Enforcement. Time for term limits and time to rein Congress in and remind them whose the Bosses around here.
Sorry Frederick, but the Congress represents the poeple,yet where have they been when Obamba was busy trampling on citizens Rights, Wrecking our country for ,..as we now know ,..for his One World Order Scheme. All to enslave the World , using Islamic Muslims, illegals to Invade our country,besides Europe. Ask the Europeons how thats working out?
No secret, some in Congress are Anti-America, support illegals into our Country. They’ve been passing Laws giving illegals benefits, Welfare,Medical,Education,right up to Fully Paid College for illegals over Citizens to the best Universities and golleges in our Country. Many in Congress should be in Prison. Thats NO secret.
CRAZY OLD BAT. go buy a hat.
Damn pinko commie trash should be drawn and quartered on general principle.
Congress needs to remember they are employees not the damn boss.
Oh to be queen for the day. Dearie get over yourself. You work for the American people not the other way around.
I’ll stop making fun of them when they stop giving us so much material to make fun of.
Frederica Wilson who cares what you think. Maybe we should just arrest you for hell of it…what do you think sounds good right?
Arresting those who speak out against and/or mock government officials in Communist countries get arrested and prosecuted. So, Representative Wilson (who thinks she’s a ‘cowgirl’) is showing her true colors — she’s a communist like her buddy Maxine Waters.
Frederica Wilson should be prosecuted for being stupid and impersonating a smart Clown
Another socialist sponge. The scariest part is that some people supposedly voted for her!
Ha ha ha ha ha! If Fredericka “Talk to the Hat” Wilson is going to arrest everybody who has contempt for and makes fun of our USELESS CONGRESS, then she better start building some new jails, because there are MILLIONS of us! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Take your ugly hats and crawl back in the hole you came out of
Wilson is so funny. Why would anyone mock such an elegant and stylish man?
She needs to remember that she works for US, not the opposite!!!!!
they should be required to pass a brain test, to see if they have one, also a civility test, to see if they care for the country.
To quote Miz Wilson: “What’s a Constitution? and who is this “Bill of Rights”, is he in my district?”
Yes, but every one of those tests you mentioned, although by passing them, they showed that you were proficient, are all a violation of your rights that government has turned into privileges and makes you pay for! If government did their job and established laws that punish people who abuse those rights by creating a victim, then they would have no reason to regulate those rights. But it is all about MONEY! Permits mean money, lots of money, it’s that simple.
Very, very, very true. I had to pass a test to drive a car, had to pass a test to ride my motorcycle, pass a test to become a ham radio operator, to sell insurance and to sell property. I had to write a huge paper to get my MBA. They should have to show some proficiency. (And in Ilhan Omar’s case not be married to her brother and file taxes with her live-in friend).
Someone needs to remind her that we have a little provision in our Constitution and Bill of Rights called the First Amendment that guarantees our right to free speech. So sad that this is what gets elected to our government! They should be required to pass a civics test before being allowed to take office!!
Let’s add Wilson’s buddy Maxine Waters to the lock-up for her attacks on Trump and calling for ‘in your face’ attacks on Republicans.
then omar and the rest of them should be locked, they are always going on about trump, to me, that sounds like treason.
She simply shows that she has never read the Constitution, wherein it says, in addition to free speech, that we have the right to protest and address grievances.
Arresting those who speak out against government officials is what they do in communist countries not republics with free speech rights. She is showing where her true alliance lies.
What ever happened to our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS? I guess that she forgot that part.
There is nothing, in my opinion, more ignorant than a lifetime politician that has no clue about the constitution. Maybe if the Demoncrapic controlled Congress would do their job and stop trashing the President the people wouldn’t criticize them as we do. Get a clue, lassie. If anyone other than you politicians did our jobs like you people do, NOT ONE DAMNED THING WOULD GET DONE. End of rant.
The only ones needing to be prosecuted are the delaying/denying DamNoRats. They throw temper tantrums any time they don’t get their way and then threaten to prosecute/attack anyone who is doing the job they were elected to do. Grow up & stop being a snowflake, it’s definitely not an attractive look…
I have a ‘Get Out of Jail’ card. I’ll use it. I suppose it’s OK with her to have her friend Mad Maxine Waters to call for riots, but I can’t use my freedom of speech right.
Wow! Lock up those who make fun of Congress? What happened to free speech? Who put them above the American citizens? Oh, yeah–THEY put themselves above the citizens. This woman is a crackpot and that right there should be enough to have her removed from office. Can you spell TYRANNY!!!
Donna Brazile gave a cheat sheet to Killery, and probably would for this
mushroom.
NONE of them do THE job because none of them know what congress does! They all spend all of their time trying to screw over the people and fill their pockets to overflowing! I’d be willing to bet that if you gave that mudpuppy a 5th grade exam, she couldn’t get a passing grade, even if she was given a cheat sheet with all of the answers!
very well said
The old fool needs to wake up and do her job then and only then will people respect her and other so called law makers.
