Ocasio-Cortez blasts Gorka: 'We’re on the right side of history if you’re my opposition'
Avery Anapo
Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) blasted former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka after he called her "an insult to intelligent ... humans everywhere."
Ocasio-Cortez drew backlash, mainly from some allies of President Trump, after comparing Central American migrants seeking asylum to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany.
"You were forced out of the Trump Admin for saying white supremacists were 'not the problem' days before Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville killed 3 people," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at Gorka. "Pretty sure we're on the right side of history if you're my opposition."
"This is not about atrocity. It's about how we get there," she added.

I hadn't heard about this row.

I see Lindsay Graham has addressed Ocasio-Cortez too.

They are only on the right side fo history if we let them write it. After all, the victors are the judges, the vanquished the accused.

The classic bandwagon retort: when anyone objects to the subversion, it's always "get with the times, it's (insert current year), we're on the right side of history, deal with it."
If you're going off a cliff, though, you can't just keep insisting you're going in the right direction and that we're not allowed to stop because "progress!"

A O-C has no knowledge of history- how can she be on the right side of it?
