This is a link to a tweet by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
And this is a link to an archive of the tweet.
Here’s a screen capture of the tweet:
The tweet states (the bolding is mine):
You were forced out of the Trump Admin for saying white supremacists were “not the problem” days before Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville killed 3 people.
Pretty sure we’re on the right side of history if you’re my opposition.
This is not about atrocity. It’s about how we get there.
Three people?
Where did Ocasio-Cortez get the idea that three people were killed at that event?
The Washington Post, the New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, NPR, PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN all reported that the death toll was one, and that the name of that person is Heather Heyer.
Where exactly does Ocasio-Cortez get her news from?
Of course, this is not nearly first time that I have reported on Ocasio-Cortez being ignorant of commonly known, basic facts that have been widely reported in the news.
She doesn’t know that the judiciary is one of the three branches of the federal government.
She thinks the U.S. has 500 million people.
She thinks there is no upper-middle class in America.
She thinks you’ll never need a funeral if we adopt single payer health care.
She doesn’t know the difference between the defense budget and a one year increase in the defense budget.
She thinks the unemployment rate distinguishes between people who have one job and people who have two jobs.
She thinks the Constitutional requirement for the President to be at least 35 years old only applies to men.
Anyone who regularly reads mainstream news sources would know the true facts about all of those things.
So I really do wonder where it is that Ocasio-Cortez gets her news from.
As someone else said, I am no longer going to make fun of her or her father Mister Ed.
2 cops died in a helicopter crash that day, she’s tossing in those numbers.
I heard a Pundit on TV the other day predict that this Looney will challenge Chucky Schumer for his Senate seat in the future. One can only hope. Get the popcorn ready.>>>>
She will likely start in on Chuck the Schmuck by revealing that he is a faux Jew who is appropriating Jewish culture because he is not genuine, not circumcised you see! And he does NOT speak Cabron Spanish!
I can hardly wait. Super pop corn!
