Green Beret Congressman Sets Record Straight After AOC Claims Lawmakers Effectively ‘Served in War’

Hannah Bleau 25 May 2021

Florida Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), the first Green Beret to serve in Congress, set the record straight after far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) concluded that members of Congress effectively “served in war” due to their scare during the January 6 Capitol riot.

The Florida Republican and combat-decorated veteran addressed Ocasio-Cortez’s comparison, deeming it both “sad and ignorant” and adding a dose of reality to her “false” equivalency by pointing out the New York Democrat “hasn’t lost fellow soldiers on the battlefield or seen friends permanently disfigured by Taliban attacks.”

“January 6 was a terrible day for sure and those involved will be brought to justice but this is a sad and ignorant comparison to make…and a disservice to those who actually served,” Waltz said Tuesday.

“AOC doesn’t know what it’s like to come under attack by machine gun fire, mortars or RPGs. She hasn’t seen the horror of roadside IED explosions on bystanders & children,” he continued.

“She hasn’t lost fellow soldiers on the battlefield or seen friends permanently disfigured by Taliban attacks,” Waltz added.

“Don’t use false equivalencies to make a point. Especially as it relates to war,” he concluded:

Was Congress pretending to be the French or Italian army?

She was mentally ill before getting to congress.  I think she will eventually have a psychotic episode before the year is out.  She needs to be in a rubber room so she doesn't become a danger to herself or others.
