Ocasio-Cortez Fires Back at Cruz After He Criticizes Biden's Reference to Nazis


New York Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez responded to Texas Senator Ted Cruz's complaints about President-elect Joe Biden's references to Nazis in a pair of tweets Saturday, calling for Cruz to resign in the wake of the deadly Capitol riot.

Cruz quote-tweeted a Washington Post reporter who had written about a remark that Biden had made at a press conference on Saturday. Biden responded to a reporter who asked if Cruz or Senator Josh Hawley should resign. The president-elect said they should be beaten next time they run.

Both Cruz and Hawley have experienced backlash for their challenge to the certification of Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden's victory prior to the mob assault on the Capitol, which left five people dead. Cruz and Hawley condemned the riot as they are under scrutiny for trying to overturn the election results.
Biden said that the senators were "part of the big lie" and shared an anecdote about Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, exaggerating the number of people killed in the firebombing of Dresden and the papers printed it.
"They're part of the big lie," he said at the press conference. "We're told that Goebbels and the great lie: you keep repeating the lie, repeating the lie."
Biden then said that Republican politicians following Trump's lying are harmful, noting the president's attacks on the media. "If he's the only one saying it, that's one thing, but the acolytes that follow him, like Cruz and others, they are as responsible as he is. So, it's not about whether or not they get impeached—it's about whether or not they continue to to hold power, because of the disgust the American people have for their actions," he said.

In his tweets Friday evening, Cruz criticized Biden's mention of Goebbels, saying he was sowing division.
"At a time of deep national division, President-elect Biden's choice to call his political opponents literal Nazis does nothing to bring us together or promote healing," Cruz wrote. "This kind of vicious partisan rhetoric only tears our country apart."
Ocasio-Cortez quote-tweeted Cruz and noted anti-Semitic displays by protesters as well as gallows and calls to hang Vice President Mike Pence. In a second tweet, the New York congresswoman also mentioned Illinois freshman Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller's recent comments, in which she referenced Hitler when speaking about propaganda being targeted towards children.
"Hitler was right on one thing: He said, 'Whoever has the youth, has the future.' Our children are being propagandized," Miller said at a rally on Tuesday. She has since apologized for the comment, according to The New York Times.
"Your continued excusal and denial of Wednesday's Neo-Nazi presence is abhorrent and dangerous," Ocasio-Cortez addressed to Cruz in her tweet, before calling on the Texas senator to resign.

Your GOP colleague in the House praised Hitler this week. A Confederate flag was hung outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Yet you continue to deny this clear connection in the aftermath of Wednesday’s violence.
You disgrace yourself and your office further every day. Resign.

Cruz quote-tweeted the New York representative, saying her response was a display of "Epic hypocrisy." He then listed three "Facts" including: "1) Nazis are evil bigots. 2) You & your anti-Israel pals blocked a resolution condemning antisemitism-which I passed unanimously in the Senate... 3) Unless they are genocidal, calling your political opponents Nazis is atrocious."
He also included a link to a March 2019 USA Today article that noted that Ocasio-Cortez defended Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar regarding comments she'd made about Israel that were considered by some to be anti-Semitic.

Epic hypocrisy. Facts:
1) Nazis are evil bigots.
2) You & your anti-Israel pals blocked a resolution condemning antisemitism—which I passed unanimously in the Senate. https://t.co/kYQGO4zVVU
3) Unless they are genocidal, calling your political opponents Nazis is atrocious. https://t.co/ZV5dhUDRzD

Ocasio-Cortez responded to Cruz, noting that she did vote for the resolution against anti-Semitism that the senator had listed. In another tweet, she wrote that Cruz was lying, along with images to show that she voted in favor of the resolution.
"Your statements are growing increasingly erratic and unfounded in fact," she tweeted. "I do not call all my opponents Nazis. But rest assured, Neo-Nazis are my opponents."

Pull the Clerk record. I proudly voted for the resolution against antisemitism you cite.

Newsweek contacted Ocasio-Cortez's representatives for comment. When initially reached out, Cruz's press contacts deferred to the senator's response to Ocasio-Cortez. When asked to further remark about Ocasio-Cortez's follow-up response, Cruz's press contacts did not answer Newsweek's request in time for publication.


Radical marxist AOC makes her hypocirsy ( as usual) very clear - it is not all right for Senator Cruz to protest PE biden for referring to himself and other's of a non-DPST political persuasion as Nazi's.
that name-calling - is reserved for DPST radicals to smear those of a non=-liberal political persuasion.

The 'nazi" appellation is AOC's and the PE elect's and their party's personal province - and no conservative is permitted to use it - as all are nazi's under her Fascist , marxist POV!

[WTF]

Apparently cruzy is trying to step up his corrupt game and take the place of the unhinged disgraced former pos of Wtf will he say/do next

Cruzy wants to keep the stupid Americans stupid

[winn dixie]

Proves the dbl standard and hypocrisy of the left

Cruz should never have been elected to begin with. He is a disgrace to Texas, all Americans, the Republican Party and most major religions.

He should be removed from office by any means necessary. The blood is on his smarmy hands.

The OP is consumed by the hatred he yammers about day in and day out.

Do try and have a better day, oeb11. This will all be over soon.

The fact that Trump totally blew it after the election does not negate the voter fraud propagated by the Democrats.
It all started with that mail in ballot scheme.

The Democrats played it perfect. Send out millions of ballots that when returned, the only proof of where and who originated it was on an envelope, that was discarded.
Then you keep feeding the same phony ballot through the machine if there is a recount.
The Republicans got outplayed. People like that fat ugly bitch in Georgia turned out not to be so stupid.

I guess the solution is the Republicans need to cook up their own phony ballot mail in scheme.

But regardless of how any of this played out, it does not excuse the actions that resulted in the events that transpired this past week.

Could you please find a better picture of an American flag? That tattered American flag should not be flying.

The Code states, “The

flag

, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display,

should

be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” When your

flag

is

torn

and

worn out

beyond repair, it is time to retire it,” said Diane Stowe from

American

Legion Post #241.

The gop played it like the typical dumbasses they are known to be dah. It's all good if we win butt if we lose we start false rumors and crazy Rudy lawsuits to make stupid Americans revolt on the constitution of the USA. The gop will never bring up the massive voter corruption in Texas and Florida because the sore losers won those states

The gop stupid feeds the American stupid people

[Chung Tran]

Cruz is a fucking low-life, who helped instigate the Capitol mobsters.

I find it amusing that AOC, a Freshman Congresswoman, is so feared by the Right. They take everything she says with great fear. She is a pimple on the ass of Congress, and y'all rush for the Clearasil tube whenever she speaks.

[00 gauge]

Supporting Nazis, it's what biden voters do, they certainly don't see anything wrong with that .....

[matchingmole]

Fuck that Ted Cruz guy...what a disgrace to Texas

[oeb11]

mm - Why does your opinion of T4d Cruz matter????
