Ocasio-Cortez blasts ‘racist tropes’ and ‘white supremacy’ in tweetstorm
NY Post ^ | March 5 2019 | Ben Feuerherd

Posted on 03/05/2019 11:29:03 PM PST by knighthawk

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed the recent controversy about anti-Semitic tropes in a series of tweets early Wednesday morning, arguing that all forms of racism and bigotry serve classism and “white supremacy.”

The freshman congresswoman did not directly address the controversy over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s statements about Israel — instead she pivoted to a criticism of Trump’s border wall and condemned bigotry in broad terms.

“If we’re so concerned about implied tropes, why aren’t we concerned about this one?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in her first tweet at midnight.

Did I mention she breaths better than she thinks. Of course breathing is an involuntary reflex, thinking on the other hand requires some effort and a little bit of life’s knowledge. The only thing she should have access to are paper and crayons.

So how do black and other minority racists that hate whites, supposedly help whites?

accusing people of ‘white supremacy’ is racist.

Is she even aware that the US is a majority-white country?

No, she’s just the product of pampered parenting and slavish spoiling by an affirmative action culture. The brat in her has been allowed to mutate and grow from her earliest days.

"...She continued to write that the entire argument for a wall on the southern border is not rooted in fact, but “based in a racist + non-evidence based trope that immigrants are dangerous.” Ocasio-Cortez then accused Dems of being “willing to ‘compromise’ & spend BILLIONS on a trope because we’ve accepted some kinds of racism as realpolitik in America.” She then defended her stance, arguing that she was not pivoting to anti-immigrant rhetoric in an effort to undermine criticism of Omar. “None of this is whataboutism,” she wrote, adding that all racism and bigotry are “inextricably linked.”

==============

She keeps leaving out the important fact that they are "criminal illegal aliens". Immigrants go through the turnstile and navigate the established legal channels.

Woman is devoid of logic and dangerous to our country.

So what is a "whataboutism"? Oh, never mind . She makes this cow pukey up as she goes.

Does she even know what the word "trope" even means?

Trope definition - a word or expression used in a figurative sense : figure of speech

So now, according to the Queen of All Interpretations, anything and everything is now a "trope"

You're just not 'getting it', Sa-teef ... she's way more important than you or I are, and so she's allowed to use any monies that she can grab for her own use. You and I are just mere peasants in her world ...

While this little pipsqueak and her democrat partners in crime focus on taking down Trump and Conservatism, the situation in North Korea that they dismissed last week, in order to insult Trump and do as much as they could to prevent him from making headway, is melting down.

She’s so narcissistic that she can’t see anyone or anything other than her self assessed perfect self.

Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and others who hate Trump so much they can’t see straight, are missing in action, when our nation needs to present a unified face to North Korea’s leadership.

They have done everything they could to cast Trump as the insane one, as they exhibited enough symptoms to be ordered in for a three day observation time and again.

AOC, as this situation melts down, which it may do in short order, you may not be able to grasp what part you and your fellow travelers have played in it.

Some of us will though. Someone upstairs will also. He will know what part you played in this, so far in over your head that you had no clue whatsoever.

YOU, are the racist, AOC. I am white, and have a white child. Are you claiming that my child is a ‘supremacist’, or that he has ‘privilege’? You are a sick, sick, hateful person. I hope and pray you will somehow find your way. As it is now, you are hollow.

Wrong. There are many kinds of bigotry in this world serving many forms of racial, sectarian, religious, ethnic, tribal, political, ideological and other forms of supremacy.

“We have black staff” has spoken about owning black people and her anger now at not quite owning white people.
