Ocasio-Cortez blasts ‘racist tropes’ and ‘white supremacy’ in tweetstorm

By Ben Feuerherd

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed the recent controversy about anti-Semitic tropes in a series of tweets early Wednesday, arguing that all forms of racism and bigotry serve classism and “white supremacy.”

The freshman congresswoman did not directly address the controversy over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s statements about Israel — instead pivoting to a criticism of President Trump’s border wall and condemning bigotry in broad terms.

“If we’re so concerned about implied tropes, why aren’t we concerned about this one?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in her first tweet at midnight.

“Where was the concern last week when 26 Dems voted for a GOP amendment to expand ICE powers rooted in the racist + false trope that Latino immigrants are more dangerous than US born citizens?”

Amazing how she can pack a single tweet with so many lies.
Principles matter. Words matter.

It amuses me that racists like this fail to see their own projection.  :whistle:
