As Twitchy readers know, AOC recently spoke with Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki about using government regulation to stifle the speech of people like Tucker Carlson, who she claims clearly engages in ‘incitement of violence’. What does this incitement to violence look like? Telling the public what liberals are doing. That’s it. That’s why she hates Tucker Carlson. Unsurprisingly, AOC was quite pleased to hear that Tucker and Fox News were parting ways, and the congresswoman turned the camera on herself to spread her speech-squashing satisfaction on the perfect platform for such pronouncements: Chinese-owned TikTok. She summarized her thoughts by saying...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the lawmaker leading the House Republican caucus is congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene — not House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. AOC delivered the diss on MSNBC Sunday to former White House press secretary-turned-anchor Jen Psaki, who had asked the lefty pol if she thought McCarthy (R-Calif.) was running the caucus. “He’s not,” Ocasio-Cortez said, prompting Psaki to ask who was in charge. “I think you’ve got Marjorie Taylor Greene running the caucus. I mean, and she makes very common public statements to that effect,” Ocasio-Cortez insisted on Inside with Jen Psaki. “Every time something irks her...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that the Republican Party is attempting to “roll back” the civil liberties of women and LGBTQ Americans. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “I think we are in a extremely serious moment. I believe that the Republican Party is not starting at Roe. They will not stop at Roe. They will not stop at women’s rights.” She added, “I believe what we are seeing is a concerted roll back of civil liberties in general. Our right to privacy, our right to bodily autonomy, all right to marry whomever we wish to marry, all of...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson and others on the network are “very clearly” inciting violence. Psaki said, “This week, Fox News settled their defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million, a lot of money. It is now the largest defamation settlement in history. Do you think Dominion’s lawyers made a mistake not requiring Fox to acknowledge on air that it lied to its viewers?”

A Queens woman who lost an eye in a horrifying caught-on-camera attack this past September blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday after the lawmaker suggested funding for much-needed NYPD raises instead be given to the Big Apple’s public schools, pools, parks and libraries. Elizabeth Gomes, 33, who was dragged across the Howard Beach-JFK Airport subway station by a homeless ex-con last year, decried the “Squad” member’s calls to reduce police funding in an interview with “Fox & Friends.” “Once you put safety first, everything else will go right after it,” Gomes said. “I cannot call a teacher if I need...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) thinks Mayor Eric Adams should fund community violence prevention programs without law enforcement rather than increase police wages. In an interview with “The Daily Show,” Ocasio-Cortez discussed the “Stand Up to Violence” program at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, which addresses violence as a public health issue and allows social workers to investigate shootings without law enforcement. When the show’s host, Jordan Klepper, asked if Mayor Adams misplaced funding that bumps rookie NYPD cop’s annual salary by 28%, Ocasio-Cortez said she “thinks so.” “We are now at a point where officially, most officers are paid...

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Mayor Eric Adams gave away the store this month when he greenlit raises for cops under City Hall’s recent agreement with the Big Apple’s largest police union – after the thin blue line went seven years without a raise. “We are in New York City, and you’re talking about funding violence prevention outside of the police and yet Eric Adams has just increased police wages by 28%. Is that misplaced?” “The Daily Show” host Jordan Klepper asked the “Squad” member Monday. “I think so,” the pol agreed while touring Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx....

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez concealed thousands of dollars in campaign spending, an ethics complaint exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation alleges. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint cites more than $9,600 in reported campaign credit card expenditures that lacked information on the purpose of the charges. Dan Backer filed the complaint on behalf of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a nonprofit organization that’s levied similar complaints. “This Complaint arises from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s repeated, blatant violations of federal campaign finance law to conceal how she spent thousands of dollars of campaign funds. On numerous occasions throughout 2022,...

AOC Needs to GO: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is a Marxist revolutionary masquerading as a “defender” of “our democracy”. Of course, AOC’s definition of “democracy” is not inclusive at all. It is highly restrictive. Democracy, according to AOC and her fellow Democrats, is reserved only for the anointed few who believe in the same insanity that she (and her donors) do. That is why AOC’s recent tirades against the Supreme Court are so troubling. Up until recently, AOC could be ignored as an ignorant backbencher in Congress who got the perks of having a safe seat in Congress with no...

<p>Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) may be on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to abortion rights, but on the conflicting rulings about abortion pills they agree: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should "ignore" a Texas federal judge's decision to halt the approval of abortion medication.</p>

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued there is a crime wave within the Republican Party, citing former President Donald Trump’s indictment and controversy over Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. "I admit it is very difficult to see a path in the Republican Party that refuses to hold itself accountable, and in fact, breaches the law itself," Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said on CNN. "The crime wave is within the Republican Party. It is within all…. what we are seeing, we have seen, we are seeing, breaking of the law by conservative members of the court. We are seeing a former president of the United...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Donald Trump of siccing supporters “known to be violent” on the judge in his case and “publicly intimidating’’ the jurist himself. The lefty New York Democrat made the assertions in a tweet late Tuesday that included a clip of Trump’s remarks at Mar-a-Lago after his arraignment earlier in the day, in which the ex-prez called Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan “a Trump-hating judge with the Trump-hating wife and family whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris.” AOC fired back on Twitter, “[Trump] is publicly intimidating a judge and pointing a spotlight on their family to...

Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been served with an ethics complaint by an outside group that accuses her of 'defaming' the creator of the Libs of TikTok account on Twitter, with more than 2 million followers. The creator, Chaya Raichik delivered the legal papers herself. The conservative Heritage Foundation asked the Office of Congressional Ethics to open a probe into the matter. The step does not guarantee a probe by the House Ethics Committee, which has a bipartisan membership and decides which matters involving lawmakers to probe. The New York lawmaker asked asked Yoel Roth, the former head...

The Libs of TikTok creator then spotted the Democrat...

AOC storms away from ‘Libs of TikTok’ creator on Capitol Hill Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) angrily stormed away from “Libs of TikTok” creator Chaya Raichik after denouncing her as “super transphobic” in a tense Capitol Hill confrontation that was captured by amateur video last week. Raichik on Thursday posted a video that was filmed by the right-leaning Heritage Foundation.

The shooter who stormed a private Christian elementary school in Nashville on Monday, killing three students and three staffers, was identified as a 28-year-old white transgender woman named Audrey Hale who once attended the school, authorities said. The suspect — who was killed by police — was also a Nashville resident, police said. The shooter was later identified as Hale, NBC reported. Women make up just 2% of mass shooters across the country, according to the Violence Project database, and Monday’s shooter is just the fifth female mass shooter in US history. A car was located near the Covenant School,...

I know, I know. Most of them are imbeciles, but these stand out over the last week. Imbecile #1: AOC The House passed a Parental Rights Bill. Not one democrat voted for it. Among the highlights: The main component of the bill would require schools to publicly disclose the contents of their curriculum and library materials to parents. Currently, many schools teaching radical ideology do so without the parents’ knowledge. Additionally, the bill would establish the right of parents to see their kids’ schools’ expenditures. ... The bill would also ensure that parents are notified of, and give consent to,...

Recently, the House of Representatives held the first in a series of congressional hearings targeting TikTok and the social media giant’s subservience to communist China. That led to some rather interesting admissions, including the fact that engineers in China (and by proxy, the Chinese government) do have access to the personal information of millions and millions of Americans. Without a good answer for that massive security issue, TikTok’s CEO borrowed a favorite strategy from the left. Namely, he claimed that any criticism of his company and the Chinese government is xenophobia. He also refused to comment on the Uyghur genocide...

Davis was arrested on a public intoxication charge this week. During the arrest, Davis was heard asking the arresting officer, "are you really doing this?" The officer responded with, "no sir, you're doing this." Davis is currently serving in Oklahoma's current legislative session. The footage shows Davis cooperating with the arresting officers. He made a statement on the House floor the next day. “I understand that last night has become a story and that many of my colleagues in the House are being asked to comment on or to explain the events of last night. I dispute any wrongdoing. However...
