Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cheers on Bodega Boycott of New York Post Over 9/11 Front Page
Mediaite ^ | APRIL 13, 2019 8:26pm | Aidan McLaughlin

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) applauded the boycott of The New York Post being organized by corner stores in the city following the tabloid’s front page cover calling out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her comments about 9/11.

Omar has faced criticism this week for comments she made at a speech in March, notably from colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and President Donald Trump.

“CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” she said, in comments that her critics said minimized the terror attacks.

The Post was scathing in its criticism of the congresswoman, slapping a photo of the attacks on its front page this week along with the headline: “Here’s your something… 2,977 people dead by terrorism.”

In response to the controversial cover, the Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA) announced a boycott of the Post, for what defenders of Omar decried as encouraging anti-Muslim sentiment.

The New York Post was founded by Alexander Hamilton. I think it’ll be OK.

I don’t think AOC waits for knowledge or authority before she
opens her trap and does something stupid. Just my observation of her.

It is obvious to me that this stupid (rhymes with runt) Occasionally Coherent knew nobody affected by the World Trade Center bombings. Further, I'd bet that the Somali Slut Omar knew at least one of the 19 bastards in the planes that day.

Listening to dipshits like them downplay the 9/11 attacks burns my ass faster than hearing someone attempt to justify 'dolfie's "doing something".

And no, I am not sorry for using profanity here. To quote President Trump:

WE WILL NOT FORGET!

CAIR doesn’t exist to preserve civil liberties but to intimidate people through our legal system until the Muslims, under Sharia Law, can take away all civil liberties.

It is simply another front for the Muslim Brotherhood.

I attribute her inability to keep her opinion to herself to Diarrhea of the mouth!

These stores are easy to spot. The Muslim bodegas are open 24 hours and sell pipes and bongs. The Hispanic bodegas close at around 10 or 11 p.m. and sell a lot of Hispanic food and drinks and usually not pipes and bongs.

Good cartoon!

Except:

1) Pelosi looks too good.

2) Giant meteor impacting erupting volcano should be visible in background.

3) Small intelligent mammals wearing MAGA hats should be visible in underbrush.

Regards,

The NY Post should sue that woman & the Yemeni group. There is nothing racist about that cover.
