Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., invited her colleague from across the aisle in Congress, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to educate Twitter users on the history of America's diametrically opposed political parties, and his answer is unlikely what she expected.
**SNIP**
AOC inserted herself into the dialog by saying, "Why don’t you go ahead and tell people what happened to the parties after that, Ted."
Cruz took her up on the offer and responded in a tweet thread, saying, "Sure. – First, the Dem party founded the KKK. – Then the Dem party wrote Jim Crow laws. – Then the Dem party filibustered the Civil Rights Act."
"Today, the Dem party filibusters school choice – trapping millions of Black kids in failing schools. – Today, the Dem party pushes abolishing the police, which results in many more Black lives murdered. – Today, every Dem senator voted against my bill to stop DC from throwing 40% of Black kids out of schools bc of vax mandate," Cruz continued.
"The Republican Party was founded to oppose slavery. Our first Republican President was Abraham Lincoln, who won the Civil War and ended slavery. It was Republicans who voted for the civil Rights Act in a much higher percentage than racist Dems," he added.
"Today, we produced the lowest African-American unemployment EVER, under the Trump economic boom. – Today, we produced the lowest African-American poverty levels EVER, under the Trump economic boom," Cruz continued.
"Today, (in 2017) I passed the largest expansion of federal school choice EVER (making 529 plans cover K-12), over the objection of ever single Senate Dem," he said.
"Also, just two years ago, the Dem governor of Virginia had put the photo of A MAN DRESSED AS A KKK KLANSMAN on his personal yearbook page."

I don’t think she’s ‘teachable’...or she wouldn’t BE a Liberal
How dare you confuse people with facts!
Every family has one.
Or, was your Dad really sure?
The usual line of this myth is that the racist Democrats were so pissed at Johnson for — begrudgingly — signing the Civil Rights act bill that they…
…switched sides to the party that supported and sponsored the bill.
Critical thinking is not a strong suit when the left tries to run from their history…
She is incapable of "reasoning".
The worst part of this is that there are people who swallow her tripe (and truly believe it).
The true pandemic (stupid).
It's virtually impossible to get through to younger people about how badly they have been miseducated - I fear two whole generations are going to have to find out the hard way.
What is baffling about that is that the blacks made their switch to the democrat party in 1936, a complete, total, and permanent reversal of their vote.
He probably knows Abe Lincoln was an avowed white supremacist; the important thing is that AOC doesn't.
And I'm not going to tell her. In our post-post modern America historical facts don't mean much. Unfortunately.
My folks and earlier kin were supporters of everything the Democrats did. Yet they never registered to vote as they did not want their names on a Jury Duty roster.
All have now died but every election day they rise from the dead, march to the polls after hours, and cast their votes for the Democrats, several times.
I am Republican and have been on Jury Duty several times.
does he name names?
who switched parties?
al gore sr?
richard russell?
william fulbright?
the only name i can come up with is strom thurmond
Democrats promise of utopia
Monarchism feudalism military socialism fascism national socialism economic socialism all the same species tyranny.
Thet keep spinning the wheel by the year where it lands that’s the 4 year plan.
He leads in this stuff. He is fighting it every day in the Senate. He knows first hand how this works. No offense at all, but this isn’t his first rodeo with the left.
Indeed a reminder of who screams racism is the guilty of it and calls all else white supremacist.
I’ve heard many Cruz speeches and have seen many of his TV appearances. I’ve never heard him (or any Republican) point out that the Democrat party was responsible for nearly every racist law and institution since the county was founded.
Seems Cruz got cause and effect mixed up there. It's so painfully obvious that no one dare say it.
Dinesh d'Souza researched this point quite a bit, and presented his rebuttal in one of his films and book by the same or similar name around the time Trump was running for President. I may be wrong, but I think the film was Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016) and the book would have been Stealing America: What My Experience with Criminal Gangs Taught Me about Obama, Hillary, and the Democratic Party (2015). You might try emailing him.
AOC: But what have you done since tuesday?
If you could reason with a democrat, there wouldn’t be any democrats.
One of the hardest thing to do in life is trying to reason with a liberal
To anger a conservative, lie to them.
To anger a liberal, tell them the truth
