AOC calls out ‘white men’ who voted against Juneteenth

Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out her House GOP colleagues who voted against establishing “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday.
“They were all men and they were all white. Like all white men. There weren’t even women. Like no diversity in it,” AOC told TMZ in an on-the-street interview on Capitol Hill.
“It just goes to show that there is a lot of denialism and that also kind of ties into why they don’t want us to teach the history of racism in our school either,” she added, taking a shot at statewide GOP efforts to curb critical race theory being taught in public schools.
Juneteenth marks the formal end of slavery in the United States and is the first new federal holiday in 40 years. Though there were 14 GOP defectors, the holiday vote unanimously passed the Senate and had overwhelming bipartisan support.
“Our federal holidays are purposely few in number and recognize the most important milestones,” Manhattan Rep. Carolyn Maloney said in a statement. “I cannot think of a more important milestone to commemorate than the end of slavery in the United States.”

Not everything needs to be a National Holiday. But one more day a year the government isn't doing anything right now is a plus.

Somebody tell AOC that upon electing and re-electing Obama, that would end all race card playing of democrats, After all, democrats swore it would be so. Suckers bought it hook, line, and sinker!
Doobie Bros; What a FOOL believes!

The KKK and similar groups HAVE to be loving this!
I'm guessing they will be sending her birthday and Christmas Presents.
She has to be one of the best recruiters the white power loons have ever seen.
I know there is no way in HELL the mainstream press is going to report this until maybe a month or so before the election to try to scare people in to voting Dim,but I am guessing that the KKK and similar groups are setting enrollment records.

Remember back when Dims only spoke their minds with each other,and sometimes tidbits would slip out?
Boy,are THOSE days gone!
