'Epic fail': Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is slammed for claiming the GOP changed the Constitution to prevent FDR being re-elected - when the 22nd Amendment was drafted two years after he died

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Constitution of the United States was altered to make sure Roosevelt did not get re-elected
    FDR was elected president four times and died in April 1945, less than three months into his fourth term
    But the Constitution was not amended to prevent FDR from winning re-election
    The 22nd Amendment which sets a two-term limit for presidents was only approved by Congress in 1947  two years after FDR's death

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has incorrectly asserted that Republicans in Congress amended the Constitution to kick President Franklin Delano Roosevelt out of office.

'They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected,' Ocasio-Cortez said Friday during a night hall event with MSNBC with Chris Hayes.

Ocasio-Cortez was referring to the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution which passed in 1947.

  • Cruz 2016- a Constitutional Conservative at last!
I wonder how many likes she got on Twitter for this. I don't think she cares when she is caught in a lie or stupidity it's important to get the misinformation out to the idiots who follow her.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Actually she might have a point. No one wanted a dead man in the highest office.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Who's she gonna blame when she discovers the U.S. doesn't have "57 states"?
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
