Ocasio Cortez 911 Comment
Jun 23, 2019 Two holocaust survivors responded to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's concentration camp comments earlier this month, and their feelings were resoundingly negative. AOC, D-N.Y., faced backlash for. AOC TRIGGERED: Crenshaw RIPS AOC for ‘Hard Work’ Comments, She Says He Has ‘Disdain for the Poor’ Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flipped-out on Rep. Dan Crenshaw on social media this week after the Republican mocked her previous comments that members of the GOP never held real, working-class jobs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Politics 9/11 Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed a Republican colleague as a hypocrite on Thursday while defending fellow freshman Representative Ilhan Omar. Mar 05, 2019 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared Monday night that the United States was wrong to go to war after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The congresswoman from New York, who was until recently a bartender with no policy experience, issued the blanket condemnation of US foreign policy in defense of her fellow freshman Democrat Rep.
Earlier this week, Rep. Ilhan Omar spoke at a Muslim rights event where she trivialized the 9/11 tragedy by claiming “some people did something.” She immediately received backlash on the comment from conservatives. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who is a war hero and a retired Navy SEAL, called Omar out for her position on 9/11.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has become conservatives’ number one enemy as of late, came to the aid of Omar by trashing Crenshaw in a Twitter tirade Thursday afternoon.
“You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes,” the former bartender tweeted. “In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that?”
As if attacking a war hero wasn’t bad enough, Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on her stance by attacking the New York Post, a publication that didn’t take Omar’s stance lightly and used its front page as a platform to respond to Omar.
In response to Omar’s “some people did something,” the publication wrote: “Here’s your something … 2,977 people dead by terrorism.” This also angered Ocasio-Cortez, so she moved her focus from Crenshaw to the New York Post.
She started by calling the Post’s front page a “horrifying, hateful cover,” before stating: “Here’s 1 fact: @IlhanMN is a cosponsor of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “She‘s done more for 9/11 families than the GOP who won’t even support healthcare for 1st responders- yet are happy to weaponize her faith.”
What Ocasio-Cortez seems to not be aware of is most, if not all, of what she is using for an argument for Omar is simply not true. To start, Ocasio-Cortez claimed the New York Post used “completely out-of-context quotes,” even though they used a direct quote.
What the freshman Congresswoman didn’t mention was how Omar was one of 213 other cosponsors of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act, the Daily Wire reported.
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund was signed into law shortly after 9/11 by the president at the time, George W. Bush. This fund has been renewed years later for those who still need the assistance, The Blaze reported.
As for the attack on Crenshaw, the 29-year-old Congresswoman suggested the former Navy SEAL was not fighting for the families of 9/11. This couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything, he has done more than most in Congress on the matter.
Crenshaw lost one of his eyes while fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and was awarded the Purple Heart, the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor and 2 Bronze Stars, according to Combat Veterans For Congress.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex is giving Joe Biden a run for his money as queen of the political gaffe, but unlike Joe her latest blunder may have lasting consequences.
AOC is new at this so she was given a pass from the media in the beginning, but that is all gone now.
The media and the Democrats have turned on her and after her stunning comments about 911, New York City is sure to follow.
Imagine if she told the voters her real views on 911 during the election – believe me, New Yorkers would have rejected her outright. From The Daily Wire:
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made radical statements Monday night on Twitter, suggesting that the United States should not have authorized the use of force against those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks — the deadliest terrorist attack in world history.

“I remember a time when it was ‘unacceptable’ to question the Iraq War. All of Congress was wrong, including both GOP & Dem Party, and led my generation into a disastrous + wrong war that virtually all would come to regret, except for the one member who stood up: Barbara Lee.”
After being called out for the tweet’s inaccuracies, Ocasio-Cortez clarified that she meant the Afghanistan war, and added: “(But honestly we shouldn’t have been in either, and we should end the AUMF now while we’re at it)”
Ocasio-Cortez plainly stated that “all of Congress was wrong” to vote in favor of the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) and that Barbara Lee was correct for not voting for it.
“The AUMF was passed with Lee’s lone dissenting vote on Sept. 14, 2001, three days after terrorists from Osama Bin Laden’s al Qaeda organization crashed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania killing more than 3,000 people,” The Huffington Post reported.
The Hill noted that the AUMF “authorizes the president ‘to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons’— in other words, al Qaeda and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.”

“On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States,” History.com reported. “Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.”

A recent bombshell report said that the Marines have to actually have a training course on what 911 was and who attacked us and it seems like maybe we need to do the same in Congress.
