Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-Texas) on Tuesday for quoting Benito Mussolini in a tweet.
Ocasio-Cortez criticized the former Senate GOP whip for linking fascism to socialism with the tweet, saying it was part and parcel for a party that she said called paying a living wage "socialism."
"In case you missed it, while the GOP is calling paying a living wage 'socialism,' a Republican Senator full-on quoted National Fascist Party leader and Hitler ally Benito Mussolini like it’s a Hallmark card," the first-year lawmaker tweeted.
Cornyn on Sunday had tweeted a quotation from the Italian fascist dictator.
“We were the first to assert that the more complicated the forms assumed by civilization, the more restricted the freedom of the individual must become.”

I hate to break it to AOC, but Mussolini was an orthodox Marxist at the time that he formulated the concept of national socialism.
She not only moved out of the Bronx, but she switched party too?
“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-Texas) on Tuesday for quoting Benito Mussolini in a tweet.”
Wut??
Cornyn asked for this. If you quote Mussolini, never leave it up as an exercise to the reader to guess why you did it.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-Texas)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
‘Cherry-picking’ historic quotes??
Maybe they’ll someday realize that’s NOT the same as actually reading original texts and getting themselves educated and informed.
There is an enormous practical and intellectual difference there.
He did spend the next decade or so murdering all Communists though. There was a bit of a break between the two ideologies.
it took one read of Cornyn’s quote and I got it with no explanation needed. She’s really a piece of work.

AOC is too ignorant to understand the subtlety of Cornyn's remark.
Just yesterday the preening little puke lectured in her kitchen about the time we Americans stopped having children.
Living wage is socialism. The pay rate is set by the government not the market.
AOC is denying the obvious. She does that a lot.
Just part of a long, rich heritage of Marxists killing each other for political supremacy.
Poor job of cut and paste. First sentence reads:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) lashed out at Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Tuesday for quoting Benito Mussolini in a tweet.
he started a conversation... any informed person would know he didn’t suddenly become a proponent of Mussolini.
You may wish to have this thread pulled and try again.
The fascists viewed the communist more as competition that foes.

Now that she’s a Republican, how will we be able to tell her apart from the other RINOs?
This woman is a damn idiot.
