AOC Weeps on House Floor [semi-satire]

A House of Representatives decision by a 420 to 9 majority to appropriate $1 billion for Israel's "Iron Dome" missile defense system led to an outburst of tears from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY). Last week, her "squad" of socialist firebrands had convinced a House committee to remove this funding from the budget.

"It's just not fair," AOC complained. "This air-defense system makes Israel virtually impregnable to the crude rockets the Palestinians launch from Gaza. It gives Palestinians no real chance of inflicting damage on their oppressors."

Palestinian rockets are typically aimed at targets in which a lot of innocent women and children are present, not military targets—a phenomenon that AOC described as "crucial to the kind of asymmetric warfare practiced in the region. These rockets are ineffectual against military targets protected by armor and fortifications. It's the same reason why al Qaeda attacked the World Trade center 20 years ago. US and Israeli military targets are too hard for the feeble weapons their adversaries possess. By refunding Iron Dome we are favoring Goliath over David."

A great philosopher with an affinity for boxed chocolates once said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who along with fellow Squad members Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, attempted to kill funding of Israel’s Iron Dome weapon system. Iron Dome is a purely defensive system that intercepts and destroys incoming missiles launched toward Israel from the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. The elimination of funding would essentially bring a gradual end to the system and make thousands of Israeli citizens – Jews, Christians, and Muslims – vulnerable to being killed.

The New York lawmaker became emotional after the vote passed 420-9 to approve Iron Dome funding.

Good. I’m glad she cried.

I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look from the wings at the play you are staging.
While AOC gently weeps
Look at you all
As I’m sitting here doing nothing but aging
Still AOC gently weeps

AOC. I hate that spokeshole for stupidity.

[Allegra]

The writer certainly had fun penning this one. 😄

Are we seeing a new (and disgusting) trend of millennials/GenZ Congresscritters crying because votes don’t go their way? Good grief.

She should save her acting for the stage.

[Telepathic Intruder]

She's very practiced at crying for the plight of the oppressed. Such as this time she cried over an oppressed empty parking lot for the cameras.
