UK Daily Mail ^ | April 16, 2019 | Danyal Hussain

Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for being an authoritarian, 'Trump-like figure' while suggesting that US military and economic aid to Israel should be cut.

The Representative for New York, a rising star in her party, has insisted that the idea of cutting aid to Israel should 'definitely be on the table'.

The 29-year-old has been criticised by the Jewish Democratic Council of America for the comments, with the organisation saying that US-Israel ties 'must supersede politics'.

I’d rather cut her....out of Washington. She needs to go back to bartending where she can socialize the tip jar.

Her criticism makes her seem to say both Netanyahu and Trump are, are...….. men. There I said it. Shameful to be a man, feminists say.

She’s got the messaging right this time. All she has to do is go one step further and say we shouldn’t be funding other people’s militaries and she’s probably pick up some votes.

But she won’t because that’s not what she’s really saying here. She’s just anti-Semitic and arguing her religious zealotry as a US officer - which is against the constitution which is grounds for removal.

Ocasio Kotex can pound Soros up her rear and take her two sisters, Omar and Tlaib with her, IMO.

I am as big a supporter of Israel as they come, but I still want US to stop foreign aid to Israel and everybody else except in disaster situations. We’re trillions in debt. We literally don’t have the money. We borrow money from China to send to other countries in foreign aid. And our struggling taxpayers are stuck making the interest payments. Meanwhile, our own roads are filled with potholes and our bridges are falling down. Could you make up a better definition of insanity?

I support Israel, strongly. If we were to give ANY foreign aid that’s where it should go.

And we should start giving ANYONE foreign aid once EVERY vet has all the healthcare they could ever need, our infrastructure is modern and in perfect condition, the wall has been built, the budget balanced and national debt retired, and the income tax has been eliminated. Until those occur we shouldn’t be spending one CENT beyond our borders with the exception of maintaining the capability to whack anyone who intends to hurt us before they can do so.

We. Owe. No. One. Anything.

The lives of everyone outside our borders should matter less to the government than one homeless American Citizen.

Less aid to Israel = More money for butt plugs for cows.

Doesn’t Alexandria Ocrasio-Cortez realize what a “joke” she is? Doesn’t she realize that all the attention she is getting is just for our own amusement?

Doesn’t she realize what an utter embarrassment she is to her office, party, and country?

She’s a court jester without the costume. I can’t say whether she is stupid, but I can say with utter confidence that she is IGNORANT!

1) I have a theory that @IlhanMN is being used as a distraction from the upcoming release of the Mueller report.

“...My theory is that the Deep State is using a sitting member of Congress as bait.

They are disgusting.
2) They have done the same thing with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Tlaib, but they are taking it to new heights with Rep. Omar...”
