AOC says US Senate founded on Jim Crow – which came 174 years later
July 18, 2026 | Sierra Marlee

Did Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claim that the United States Senate was “founded on Jim Crow?”

The internet was baffled by what was either an incredibly poorly worded sentence or the most historically ignorant take that mankind has ever been forced to endure.

Watch:

“I don’t support the filibuster, I don’t support elements of this institution that we know were founded on Jim Crow,” she said.

Because the mindboggling sentence was so badly constructed, social media users have to decide whether she is claiming the United States Senate was “founded on Jim Crow,” or if she was incorrectly referring to the filibuster as an “institution.”

Whatever the case may be, X users had a lot to say about her comment:

Abolishing the Senate is the latest Communist cause du jour.

Democrats sure as heck supported the filibuster when Republicans were pushing anti-lynching legislation in the 1930s or Civil Rights bills in the 50s and 60s.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Jim Jones was a socialist Democrat.

With all the bat crap crazy liberals out there, I think unfortunately she may very well be the DEM nominee.

Sadly, many will have the desired emotional response without once thinking about the nonsensical substance of her statement.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
