Why AOC went mute about Sri Lanka
Flopping Aces ^ | 04-30-19 | DrJohn

When two mosques in New Zealand were attacked last month and 50 worshipers were murdered, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez went on a twitter rampage firing off 14 tweets about the shootings. She mocked "thoughts and prayers" offered to the victims and attacked the NRA.

Following the shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue she again went ballistic, not waiting for the bodies to cool before politicizing the tragedy

There was another tragedy which left AOC uncharacteristically mute- the carnage in Sri Lanka.

Ocasio-Cortez’s reaction differs starkly compared with the aftermath of the terror attack in New Zealand last month, where 50 Muslims were brutally gunned down by a white supremacist.

Following the attack in New Zealand, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted numerous times, seizing on the terror attack to criticize the Trump administration and propose tougher gun control measures in the U.S.

“At 1st I thought of saying, ‘Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t safe anymore.’ But I couldn’t say ‘imagine.’ Because of Charleston. Pittsburgh. Sutherland Springs. What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?” one of her tweets read.

What do the attacks in New Zealand and Pittsburgh have in common?

White supremacists.

They're an easy target for AOC. The perpetrators in Sri Lanka? ISIS has taken credit for the attacks.

Muslims.

No. We cannot give an inch. Her cell of anti-American Democrats in Congress need to be called out at every opportunity.

No security whatsoever at the church and the bomber carrying a backpack like a Sherpa climbing Everest. The government knew it was coming and did nothing- that’s the question.

“Can we stop with AOC stories for a while.”

Can we add Ann Coulter to the list?

The difference is, of course, that Christians are of no account and the more that get offed the better the world is and Moslems are Allah’s holy people.

She’s just an actress. She doesn’t write or think of anything she says. I thought everyone knew this.
