AOC Asks Cruz to Give History of Political Parties. The Republican Senator 'Happily Complied.'

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ended up giving Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) a history of her own party after the progressive responded to his criticism of the NAACP's recent travel advisory in Florida.

“This is bizarre. And utterly dishonest,” Cruz commented on the NAACP’s claim that Florida is “hostile to Black Americans.” 

“In the 1950s & 1960s, the NAACP did extraordinary good helping lead the civil rights movement. Today, Dr. King would be ashamed of how profoundly they’ve lost their way," Cruz added. 

AOC followed up, encouraging Cruz to "tell people what happened to the parties after that," referring to the debunked theory that the parties switched. 

Many, including Elon Musk, sat back for what would no doubt be an entertaining exchange.

In the 1960's, when Democrat George C. Wallace was fighting against desegregation, the labor unions gave almost all of their campaign contributions to Democrats.

They do the same today.

Some party switch that is.

Twitter IS a lot of fun these days now that conservatives are allowed to speak their minds without fear of leftist political censorship.

AOC thinks everyone’s lying but her, which is quite a crackup and tells you how screwed up the democrats are these days.

Do Republicans own Blacks on plantations? Have Republicans passed laws segregating the races? No and No. The parties have not switched.

It’s apparent AOC the tough grrrrl from daBronx doesn’t know that nobody burned crosses in the Bronx. Only real estate offices on Pelham Parkway, Riverdale, Baychester or other “good” neighborhoods that dared show co-ops and townhouses to those “g**damned n****rs” and “filthy sp**s”, that’s what limo liberals call them when they think nobody’s paying attention. And this was when the Bronx was already hopelessly Dem.

The Democrat Party has embraced Marxist socialism (a form of slavery) at least since the early 1900s, and continues to do so today.

The Republican Party was founded to promote the liberty of the individual, and continues to do so today.

Fundamentally, nothing has changed.

Let’s not forget internment of Japanese usa citizens in WW2. They were also the party in charge for Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea, and Viet Nam.

By whom? The ballot boxes in army camps? I also forgot Tammany Hall and the 1863 New York draft rioters.
