Radical Leftist “progressive” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not the sharpest tool in the shed. In fact, she might be the dullest of them all.
Because AOC went full moron with this incredibly brainless comment.
The Democrat Party took a lot of heat recently when one of their House Congressmembers, Pramila Jayapal, quite literally said that Israel is a racist state.
Israel is one of the few allies that America has in the Middle Eastern region and it would be smart to keep them close to our side.
No, we don’t have to bend over backward for them and hand them billions more in taxpayer dollars as some RINOs have in the past, but maintaining a close relationship with Israel is important. Anyone with half of a brain in politics can understand that.
Well, apparently the radical Leftist Democrats in Congress do not understand that one bit.
And who else other than the annoying radicals known as the “Squad” in the House chamber who are back at it with some truly mind-numbing takes.
The U.S. House overwhelmingly passed a resolution to condemn Pramila Jayapal for her comments calling Israel a racist state.
They voted 412-9-1 to assert that Israel “is not a racist or apartheid state” and said that they reject any and all forms of anti-semitism no matter where it comes from.
That shouldn’t be a controversial thing to agree with right? Apparently, there were nine Democrats who disagree. And of course, it’s the “Squad.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Andre Carson, Delia Ramirez, and Ayanna Presley all voted against the resolution to defend Isreal and condemn Jayapal.
Republican Presidential candidate Nikki Haley took this as an opportunity to criticize AOC and the rest of the “Squad” for their insane radicalism.
“The Democratic Party is the definition of extreme,” Nikki Haley said in a speech. “It’s time to censure the Squad and get antisemitism out of America for good!”
Nikki Haley also took to Twitter to say that they are “taking names” and listed all nine Democrats who voted against the resolution in defense of Israel.
We’re taking names.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s response? She said she and her fellow “Squad” members were simply not ignoring “human rights abuses against Palestinians.”
She doubled down and argued that Israel is a racist state who just wants to hurt Palestinians.

How truly thick-skulled can one person be? Does she really not understand that Israel is not an apartheid state?
Anyone with the most remote amount of knowledge on the issue of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict knows it is way more complicated than just saying that Israel is an apartheid state who wants to watch all Palestinians suffer.
In fact, the truth is usually the opposite. The Israelis have compromised on major geo-political issues with the Palestinians than the Palestinians have.
And again, how do you think our ally in Israel feels that major Democrats in Congress are calling them a racist and apartheid state? She doesn’t think about these things because she doesn’t think at all.
