“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”

      Just forget it. Us Americans are too comfortable/scared/tired to do jack shit. We should’ve been out striking and rioting like the French day after day when ICE first started to make their move. At this point we pretty much deserve what’s coming to us because of the election results and us not objecting loud enough.

        You should have revolted as a society when you started committing a live steamed genocide. If no one cares about children being literally shredded to pieces with their taxes, why would they care that someone 20 minutes away is “getting deported”.

        They’re not scared, they’re amoral. People voted for this, you forget.

          Yawn. Germany sells a fuck ton of weapons to Israel but you give them a free pass because you don’t care about dead Palestinians, you care about crushing the US. You’re a hypocrite ML.

            Wtf? We’re discussing US politics. Of course genocide loving Germany is guilty as well, how the fuck did I give them a free pass?

              Laughing my fucking ass off. Next time you want to pretend to be a Palestinian, remember they speak Arabic, not “Palestinian.”

              And you give them ALL a free pass by thinking the US is the only country at fault. There are dozens, and they are smart to keep their mouths shut.

              If you care about Palestine more than you care about condemning the US, you’ll start blaming more countries— But you and I both know you are only here to complain about the US, And you do not give a shit about Palestine.

                I invite you to reflect on the words I’m saying instead of just focusing on the high you’re getting from what you perceive as owning me or whatever.

                Your responses and this baseless rejection of my identity is so aggressive and weird that it’s not triggering any emotional response in me, I’m just confused.

                I don’t think I said anything to justify your hostility, I even agreed with your irrelevant point.

                  I’ll take my words back when you start complaining about all of the other countries too.
