The liberal actor declared, 'In all honesty, I have educated myself so much since 2016' --------------------------------------------- Comedian and pro-Israel advocate Michael Rapaport shredded what the modern Democratic Party has become and explained why he is increasingly considering voting for Trump in a new interview. As part of a series about the Israel-Hamas conflict that rages in the Middle East, an interviewer from Visegrad24 spoke to Rapaport on the shores of an Israeli beach and asked, "Have your political views shifted?

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Israel had “crossed the threshold of intent” and was causing genocide in Gaza. On the House floor, Ocasio-Cortez said, “If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the force famine of 1.1 million in a sense. We must write our story in this moment of what it means and who we are as Americans and our story must be not that we were good men who did nothing now.”

Ever known for her hyperbole, far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has falsely accused Donald Trump of ordering a “terrorist attack” against the Capitol during the January 6th protests. In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Ocasio-Cortez made the case that the current lawfare campaign against Trump is not political but instead about prosecuting terrorist activity: Has there ever been a president, Republican or Democrat, that has been subject to this level of criminal charges, indictments and investigations? This is not about party. This is not about politics. This is about corruption and criminality. We’re talking about an individual who...

In an effort to excuse Joe Biden's participation in the dubious business activities of his son Hunter, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to rebut Hunter's former business associate Tony Bobulinski's testimony at a House Oversight Committee by asking him "to name a single crime he witnessed Joe Biden commit." Bobulinski cited "corruption statutes, RICO, conspiracy, and FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) offenses" when he was interrupted by the Congresswoman's assertion that "RICO is not a crime, it is a category of crimes." Jason Galanis, another former business associate of Hunter, recounted "Hunter got his father on the phone during a...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was mocked online after she claimed “RICO is not a crime” during a heated exchange Wednesday with President Biden impeachment hearing witness Tony Bobulinski. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asked Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, whether he witnessed “the president commit a crime,” seeking to rebuff GOP narratives about the Biden family during the second public impeachment probe hearing. “How much time do I have to go through it,” Bobulinski shot back before listing off several items such as “corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, [Foreign Agents Registration Act].” “What is the crime sir, specifically,” the progressive darling...

During Wednesday's House Oversight Committee hearing on "Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office," witness Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden was bombarded with questions by Democratic witnesses. Even before that, he had been interrupted by Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) in his opening statements, after Bobulinski called him out for lying. Bobulinski faced another interruption from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), despite how the congresswoman asked the witness a direct question. As she ranted against the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden from House Republicans, AOC asked Bobulinski what crimes he had seen Biden commit....

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) pressured the GOP to name the crime they are accusing President Biden of as they proceed with their impeachment inquiry. Ocasio Cortez noted the recent arrest of a former FBI informant for lying to the agency, fabricating the claim that Biden accepted a bribe while vice president to take actions to benefit the Ukrainian energy company where his son served on the board. “At this point, the story isn't the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is why it is proceeding anyway?” she asked, saying Republicans have “no charges.”

An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens. The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by Fox News Digital shows. Meanwhile, the neighborhood’s main strip along...

Apparently AOC isn't anti-Israel enough for the two crazy Pallyweid [Pally Weid] demanding she just "says" the G word. AOC has a long record of anti-Israel outbursts and activities. But she has some idea how Gaza death regime uses its own people and how the Oct 7 war started. Yet, even this radical liberal's stand isn't enough. But they shout: say the G word. Say it. __ Anti-Israel protestors accost AOC outside theater, demand she accuse Israel of (so-called) genocide[sic] despite her anti-Israel record. Gary Willig, Mar 5, 2024, 4:00 PM * Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez harassed by anti-Israel protestors. The...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at protesters who accosted her at a Brooklyn movie theater and demanded the lefty lawmaker call Israel’s military campaign in Gaza a “genocide,” new video shows.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defended Hunter Biden while he was behind closed doors testifying before the House impeachment inquiry on Wednesday.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that Republicans want to control recreational sex and create a “patriarchal theocracy.” ... She added, “And going beyond that, they also want to control what they call recreational sex. Recreational sex! This is so clearly a patriarchal theocracy that has embodied itself in the DNA of an entire political party in the United States of America. And as women, and as any nonbinary and queer person in this country, they must be defeated. There should never be room for this kind of control by force over another person’s body...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, wants the Biden administration to reverse course and "restore" humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war. On October 7, 2023, Hamas led the deadliest Palestinian militant attack on Israel in history.

Oh, hey… you’re gonna condemn Hamas and the terrorist attacks here or what?” “Do you know the three branches of government yet?” they yelled. “It’s executive, judicial, and legislative branches,” he said sarcastically. “You’re doing a great job,” he added with sarcasm.

A former top aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., funneled six figures in donor funds from his political action committee into his own pockets for reported consulting work, all while spending minimal amounts on the PAC's actual mission.
