Ted Cruz reminds AOC her own Democrat Party founded KKK, wrote Jim Crow laws
Sen. Cruz says the Democratic Party is responsible for 'trapping millions of Black kids in failing schools'
By Brianna Herlihy | Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., invited her colleague from across the aisle in Congress, Sen. Tex Cruz, R-Texas., to educate Twitter users on the history of America's diametrically opposed political parties, and his answer is unlikely what she expected.
The impetus for the Twitter discussion stemmed form Cruz first commenting on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) issuing a travel advisory for Florida, saying the state "devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."
"This is bizarre. And utterly dishonest." Cruz stated in a tweet Sunday.
"In the 1950s & 1960s, the NAACP did extraordinary good helping lead the civil rights movement. Today, Dr. King would be ashamed of how profoundly they lost their way."

I would have paid to see that match up. AOC must have had a blonde moment to think she could go up against Cruz.
