AOC shared on Instagram Live about her experience protesting at Standing Rock in 2016.
She’s gone from woke to “awakened.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims she experienced an “awakening” and got in touch with her indigenous ancestry in 2016, while demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
During a lengthy Instagram story Q&A session Saturday, the left-wing lawmaker spoke for roughly three minutes about people native to the Caribbean, known as Taíno, and the Americas, stressing that many Taíno ways are still alive and have not been entirely wiped out by European colonization.
“I really, really feel you, and understand you on this,” AOC says in the video, in response to an unnamed self-identified Boricua, or Puerto Rican, Bronx resident who said they “want to learn more” about their Taino ancestral traditions. “In fact, I feel like one of the things that first started awakening and connecting me deeply to my indigenous heritage was connecting with the Lakota Sioux at Standing Rock.”
Ocasio-Cortez — who has represented parts of the Bronx and Queens since 2019 — expressed gratitude toward various indigenous people for welcoming her when she protested against the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota.
“When I was at Standing Rock surrounded by Native people, Lakota Sioux, Cherokee, all people coming together, and I looked around, it really just clicked that this is us, and the grace that they extended to say, ‘No, you are a relative,’ was really formative for me,” she recalled.

“A very, very long time ago, generations and generations ago, my family consisted of Sephardic Jews,” the Catholic then-Congressional candidate told the audience at the Jackson Heights Jewish Center in December 2018.
Wonder what happens when she goes to the zoo.
Is she of the same tribe as that whack job from Massachusetts?
Her and Senator Fakeahontas will have to share a wigwam.
It’s apparent retardation runs in her family.
Took her 6 years to remember or make it up
I’d like to give her an awakening myself.
I guess this is what happens when you have 28 different fathers.
who cares
Looks like Warren’s Disease is more comtageous and virulent than we had thought.
she needs a tattoo on her forehead
space available
Its clear she spent time in front of the Howler monkey exhibit.
Hopeful that she will honor her pledge not to procreate.

Do what now?
Teddy Roosevelt had it right:
“There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all.”
AMEN!!!
Will she be writing a cook book?
Hey, AOC! Don’t forget your Vandal and Visigoth heritage that derives from their long presence in Spain. Awaken to those roots… you descend from conquerors and oppressors.
When folks get famous they always find some victim status roots
Jewish Latino Indian black
It’s like some psychosis to be anything but white pot roast mix and I assume born Catholic in her case
Look how many actors do this
I think if anyone goes back far enough they’ll find something
Nobody really tries to pretend to be part Japanese
Weird huh
The two holy grails though...are Jewish and chop chop Indian
Black is like another class by itself
“My dna test shows I’m 1% Bantu speaking descended ...what’s up brother”
Is that how it works ...
Do real genuine Jews get sort of resentful of fakirs trying to glom on
Man somebody better keep an eye on John Hagee..lol
Multiple levels of insanity here. The biggest one is thinking that people whose ancestry can be traced back to a specific place are better than those who can’t.
Every human can be traced back to a common ancestor on the mother’s side, and on the father’s side.
So none of that crap means anything.
I’m a Congress Critter and you must listen to every word I say because I’m smart now ,LOL
But, a white person awakening to his American heritage is a white supremacist.
This poor stupid girl is little more than a life support system for a vagina.
