She’s infuriating enough on her own, but here Breitbart is editing what she said to make her appear even more infuriating.

She said:

“In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that?”

Although (1) the first part of that sentence is a left-wing talking point that is widely criticized/debunked and (2) Rep Crenshaw is a national hero and certainly does not deserve criticism from AOC about anything related to terrorism, he was not involved in fighting “domestic” “right-wing” terrorists, so the correct (and still infuriating) headline should be:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Faces Backlash for Scoffing that Veteran Dan Crenshaw Should ‘Go Do Something’ About Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism

She is infuriating enough. Breitbart should report instead of snip to further inflame. Let the left-wing new networks keep the copyright on that behavior.

The left is trying so hard to deflect attention from ubiquitous muzzie terrorism by pointing at and screaming about negligible “right-wing” terrorism. It’s the same as when they ignore the multitude of black-on-black crime while rioting over “police brutality”.

That is a completely false statement.

But if the right wing were behind “almost all” terrorism then the only terrorism to “do something about” would be right wing terrorism. Therefore, right wing terrorism is essentially the same as terrorism.

I think you are splitting hairs. The headline was fine.
