AOC Under Fire For Shocking Claim About America’s Military

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing backlash after claiming the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act would “merge parts of our military with the Israel Defense Forces,” a characterization critics say misrepresents what the legislation actually does.

At the center of the dispute is Section 219 of the House-approved FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which expands U.S.-Israel defense cooperation through military technology, supply chains, research, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and joint military exercises.

The House passed its version of the NDAA on Wednesday by a 219-206 vote, with Section 219 remaining in the legislation.

Before the vote, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., posted on X that the bill “includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.”

“This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy,” she wrote. “Every member of Congress must vote NO.”

The post quickly sparked criticism from Republican lawmakers and members of the Trump administration, who argued the measure strengthens military cooperation between the United States and Israel but does not combine the two armed forces.



Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin flatly rejected Ocasio-Cortez’s claim, calling it “FALSE” on X.

“Instead of merging the part of your brain that hates Jews with the part of your brain concocting your daily lies, you should try merging the part of your brain responsible for reading bill text with the part of your brain responsible for critical thinking,” Zeldin wrote.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., also took aim at the progressive lawmaker.

“Good grief, you are either obtuse or intentionally lying. We are not merging our military with the IDF,” Lawler wrote.

The more times she lies the more liberal bat crap crazies believe her.  It truly frightens me to think that she'll likely run  for the presidency in 2028.  IMO if she does, she'll be the DEM nominee or at least selected to be the VP.
