Progressive “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whined about the pager attack targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists — and accused Israel of “unequivocally” violating international law. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) demanded a “full accounting of the attack” Wednesday, including a probe into whether the US was involved, after a highly-coordinated operation detonated thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. The blasts killed at least 12 people, including two young children, and wounded nearly 3,000, according to Lebanese authorities. The majority of those hit were members or linked to members of Hezbollah. “Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across...

Jonathan Turley, a liberal constitutional scholar at George Washington University, wrote Saturday that some Democrats were using the coronavirus pandemic to demand China-style restrictions on free speech. In the op-ed, published in The Hill, Turley criticized “the politicians and academics who have called for the censorship of social media and the internet,” including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Hillary Clinton, and others: The only thing spreading faster than the coronavirus has been censorship and the loud calls for greater restrictions on free speech. The Atlantic published an article last week by Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith and University of Arizona...

In an Instagram story posted on Sunday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, blasted Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein as "predatory" due to her multiple runs for the White House while struggling to grow the third party at the grassroots level. In 2016, Stein played kingmaker in several key battleground states. Her vote total was higher than Donald Trump's margin of victory in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan—prompting intense backlash from Democrats and political pundits. Not only was Stein widely condemned as a spoiler, but former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was the Democratic nominee during the 2016...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — have been hit with a class-action lawsuit for “inciting and encouraging” the anti-Israeli protests and chaos at Columbia University, the New York Post reported on Saturday.

Talk about a mask-off moment. On Wednesday, the Democratic Socialists of America yanked their endorsement of progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, bestowed just a week prior, for the sin of . . . acknowledging the reality of antisemitism within the pro-Palestine movement. The DSA’s national apparatus had tentatively given the endorsement June 23, on the condition that AOC completely toe the group’s line on Israel, which apparently means staying dead silent on the issue of rampant leftist Jew-hate. The group listed several supposed indiscretions in their indictment of AOC, including her vote affirming the Jewish state’s right to exist last...
