AOC calls out ‘white men’ who voted against Juneteenth

Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out her House GOP colleagues who voted against establishing “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday.

“They were all men and they were all white. Like all white men. There weren’t even women. Like no diversity in it,” AOC told TMZ in an on-the-street interview on Capitol Hill.

“It just goes to show that there is a lot of denialism and that also kind of ties into why they don’t want us to teach the history of racism in our school either,” she added, taking a shot at statewide GOP efforts to curb critical race theory being taught in public schools.

Juneteenth marks the formal end of slavery in the United States and is the first new federal holiday in 40 years. Though there were 14 GOP defectors, the holiday vote unanimously passed the Senate and had overwhelming bipartisan support.

Next year it falls on Father’s Day. So from now on, Father’s Day is replaced by a holiday for the culture that trashes fatherhood.

AOC is proof that a degree from Boston University isn’t worth the price of the paper it was printed on...

Does this moron know that those “white Republican men” are the ones responsible for freeing the slaves?

AOC couldn’t place the Civil War within a hundred years of then it occurred.

the Democratic Party that tried to vote down the 1964 Civil Rights Act

Could you provide some documentation for that? I've been looking but mainly find the Dems supported that bill. Thank you.

>>...the culture that trashes fatherhood.<<

Yes. Africa remains tribal, and in many areas the culture is that the man does not live with his wife/wives after marriage. They have only conjugal visits. The woman lives with the other females in her family, and they collectively care for any offspring among them.

Sound familiar? The one difference here is that the welfare state substitutes for the female family grouping.

In 1960, family formation among blacks was stronger than for whites. America was de-tribalizing the descendants of the Negro slaves. Blacks had switched from the Republican party of Lincoln to the Democrat party of chattel slavery because of the New Deal policies of FDR. With Johnson and his Great Society programs, the Democrats busted up the black family and made women and children wards of government, many living in urban plantations (inner cities) run by Democrat political machines. Husbands/fathers were once again freed from family responsibilities and could abandon their wives for the irresponsible baby-daddy lifestyle.

The Senate version:

Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[29]

Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)

This, after a Democrat-led filibuster and a lot of arm twisting by LBJ. Democrat support was underwhelming and lukewarm…

Not always,only every seven or eight days. Father’s Day stays on Sunday while a fixed date holiday rotates through the week.

Good catch:

“On June 19, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining.”

We can celebrate it as “Commie Execution Day.”

Yep. That’s how I verify if she said something, there’s a lot of “like” and “totally” in her sentences. I wrote her a message on Facebook, an account I still have solely to confront idiots like her, asking her to start speaking like an adult. “Try to speak more like an adult. You come across as a child and you embarrass a lot of people” She does, she sounds like a 12 year old when she talks, it’s cringe inducing, the baby voice and the “likes”...Or another one of her favorite phrases “Tippy top”... Gaah!

Yep. I say that a lot to people who screech about Native American land being stolen in the USA. Would they have preferred the Spanish over the English? Because last time I checked, all those countries south of the border that were taken over by the Spaniards ain’t doing too good lately. I don’t see a mass of people fleeing to those countries from the USA.

And that filibuster was led by none other than Robert “Sheets” Byrd, the guy democrats built a 20 foot statue to honor that they placed in the Capitol building. They also named THIRTY TWO buildings after him. And of course the immense praise he was given by the likes of Hillary and incredibly Obama.

How many of the people who voted for it have ever celebrated Juneteenth?

At Houston’s Juneteenth celebration yesterday neither the Mayor nor Sheila Jackson Lee were in attendence.

Apart from tweets just how DID the woman who sponsored the Juneteenth bill celebrate?
