Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic candidate running for a House seat from New York's 14th District, challenged the Trump administration "caravan" narrative and asked supporters to push back against white supremacy in the wake of the Pittsburgh hate crime attack.
The 29-year-old Democratic Socialist has repeatedly challenged the talking points of both President Donald Trump and established members of the Democratic Party. But her recent move to refocus her efforts on white supremacist violence rather than "undocumented immigrants" prompted vicious right-wing criticism. Using her social media platforms with hundreds of thousands of followers, Ocasio-Cortez compared how Trump supporters and Americans at large would treat Saturday's deadly synagogue shooting had it been conducted by Islamic terrorists rather than a white supremacist.
"Imagine if it was ISIS that sent bombs to US officials, started shooting in grocery stores, and invading places of worship. How do you think this administration would respond? & why is the response so different when those same terrorist acts are committed by white supremacists?" Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Sunday.
"White supremacists committed the largest share of domestic-extremist related killings in 2017. It’s time to call these bombings + targeted mass shootings what they are: terrorist attacks," she tweeted Saturday, sharing an Atlantic article about "The Resurgent Threat of White-Supremacist Violence."

why hasn’t the FakeNewsMSM ever challenged the Clintons about this claim by Patrick Healy of the NYT way back in Feb 2016???
Wikileaks Podesta emails: Re: Hi Angel and Tina — running stuff by you re Clinton/Trump story in tomorrow’s NYT
29 February 2016: From Patrick Healy, NYT
To: Angel Urena & Tina Flournoy
...Amy Chozick and I are doing a story about how the Clinton campaign and its supporters view Trump as a general election opponent and plan to run against him. The story will run in tomorrow’s paper...
President Clinton, like others, thinks that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the electorate’s mood and that only a well-financed, concerted campaign portrayed him as dangerous and ***bigoted will win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election...
He, Mrs. Clinton, and the campaign all agree that they will need to seize on opportunities to paint Trump as extremist and recklessly impulsive...
Happy to talk this over by email or phone before 6pm today...

29 Feb 2016: NYT: Inside the Clinton Team’s Plan to Defeat Donald Trump
by Patrick Healy & Amy Chozick; Gardiner Harris contributed reporting.
(A version of this article appears in print on March 1, 2016, on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Democrats Prepare a Trump Battle Plan)
Several Democrats argued that Mrs. Clinton, should she be her party’s nominee, would easily beat Mr. Trump. They were confident that his incendiary remarks about immigrants, women and Muslims would make him unacceptable to many Americans. They had faith that the growing electoral power of black, Hispanic and female voters would deliver a Clinton landslide if he were the Republican nominee...
This article is based on interviews with more than two dozen advisers, strategists and close allies of the Clintons, including several who have spoken directly with Mr. Clinton. Some spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss strategy publicly...
In South Carolina and Tennessee, Mrs. Clinton began to lay the groundwork for what advisers call “a campaign against bigotry,” in which she will present herself as the fair-minded foil to Mr. Trump...
While Mrs. Clinton radiates positive energy on the trail, Democratic groups are beginning to coalesce around a strategy to deliver sustained and brutal attacks on Mr. Trump...

FakeNewsMSM took the NYT lead:
1 Mar 2016: Christian Science Monitor: How worried are Democrats about Donald Trump?
Democrats laughed when the brash businessman upended the GOP primary race. But now some are starting to worry.
By Husna Haq
In fact, the Clinton camp is terrified enough it’s crafting a carefully-planned counter-offensive against Trump, according to a recent New York Times article...
That’s why, during last week’s GOP debate on Thursday, the Clinton campaign posted an image on Instagram that said, “These are not American values: Racism, sexism, bigotry, discrimination, inequality.”...

He’s a bigot, a misogynist, a fraud and a bully.

I saw someone somewhere on a talk show mention how whites get softer labels than “people of color” when it comes to horrifying actions. This is either a Dem talking point or someone beat this puppy to the punch.
If Alexandria had been born into the family of an ISIS or Al-Qaeda member, she would have volunteered to be used as a suicidal belt-bomb carrying “martyr”. She is that wild and crazy.
She needs to be committed. She’s as dangerous as a member of ISIS or Al-Qaeda.
Ms. Occasional Cortex doesn’t have the intellectual horsepower to challenge Donald Trump’s toenail clippings.
Babbling her grocery list of talking points.
Trump should tweet that he’s a huge fan of Cortez being in politics.
7 hot? Really?
I honestly think she’s ugly and I wouldn’t giver her the time of day. Those teeth are hideous and I’ve seen prettier eyes on canines.
She is simply wishing we could go back to calling on the killing of cops.
And object to Trump calling them the FAKE news!
CORRECTION: Ocasio-Perez = Ocasio-Cortez
I hope this district in NY votes Republican because she is a Mad Max wanna be.

Guess she’s been out of the news for a week or so...
Next I’m sure well we’ll be hearing from Stormy.
By Cortez’s definition, I suppose a messican kid killing other kids in an international student body school, and a cartel’s bullets killing kids, is a ‘Hispanic supremist’ event?
Sorry, Cortez, one would only call these acts, those of “white supremacy” if there is a refusal to acknowledge that America is a Caucasian/Caucasian majority country (in a world where Caucasians are the minority population). And with that refusal, an insistence on fomenting division instead of acceptance of the reality of the identity of America.
#13. Re “More like a 5 and a 15”. That adds up to her IQ. Didn’t know it was that high, or maybe it’s just that she’s high and doesn’t know how to count.
She’s getting crazier every day and I like that, esp. right before election time.
So is Sen. Nelson. I think he flew into space without his oxygen helmet one too many times.
Alexandria OcasioCortez and her ilk have a hate whitey agenda.
Dims will go along as long as it keeps them in power, until it doesn’t.
Ha!!
Great pic!
Thanks for posting :)
