“Dave Rubin from The Blaze played a clip from AOC’s interview with Don Lemon and quite frankly, she accused Republicans of everything Democrats are doing. "If one word of truth exited her mouth, I assure you it was quite accidental. “She accused Republicans of trying to ban books, ban speech, and fire professors. But, which party does all three things she mentioned?
“AOC said:“Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States? Why are Republicans trying to ban books in this country? Why are Republicans trying to ban speech? Why are they trying to fire certain professors? Why are they attacking the core roots of history in this country that strays anything beyond what two already know?” “In fact, you have folks like Kevin McCarthy making statements that sound like he’s never even read Martin Luther King in his life, trying to ban books that actually talk about the history of the civil rights movement and institutional racism of the United States. So, why don’t Republicans want us to learn how to not be racist? Why don’t Republicans want kids to know how to not be racist?” “The so-called books as she calls them are on Critical Race Theory and The 1619 Project, both of which do not fight racism but rather permanently ingrain it into our society. Blacks and whites are taught to hate one another and Martin Luther King would never have approved of such overt racism. And how can republicans censor Democrats? Democrats own the mainstream media and Big Tech.
Rubin replied to AOC’s charges:“Everyone knows schools teach about racism. Schools teach about slavery. Schools for the most part give an honest assessment of the history of America. Did any of you not learn about the Civil War? Did you not learn about slavery? Did you not learn about [native] Americans being here before the founding of the United States? Of course, we learn all of these things.” “I have no doubt though that AOC would like to ban some books. And who are the very people trying to ban books? Whether it’s Abigail Shrier’s book on young girls transitioning to become boys that people keep trying to kick off Amazon … these are the people who want to do all those things. So this is one of those cases where … every single thing AOC said there was a lie, and much more of it is applicable to her and the progressives than anyone on the conservative side.”
“At the rally for Turner, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I want to abolish our carceral system.” The system is “designed to trap Black and Brown men,” she added. "In the end, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I want justice. I want peace. And I want prosperity.”White men, be grateful that AOC doesn’t see you as “carceral system” trapped!
"I want to abolish our carceral system that's design to trap Black and Brown men. I want justice. I want peace. And I want prosperity." - @AOC

“Mike Berg, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement, “Every vulnerable Democrat who refused to return AOC’s campaign cash should tell voters whether they agree with her proposal to abolish prisons and release convicted criminals into our communities.”(Breitbart) “Berg’s statement comes as the NRCC is looking to tie vulnerable Democrats to the far-left side of the party. “In April, the campaign for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wired $5,000 directly into the campaign accounts for many of the vulnerable Democrats to help them boost their fundraising. “Ocasio-Cortez obtained the wire transfer information and account numbers from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), who allegedly did not check with the members themselves. Several Democrats began giving the money back, fearing that Ocasio-Cortez’s financial support could be more politically damaging to them than the money is worth.” “Those who oppose Ocasio-Cortez and the far-left are using it to slam the members during campaigning and accuse them of accepting the far-left. The NRCC launched a “socialist give back” website after news of the money went public, which was aimed towards vulnerable Democrats who were wired money.Meanwhile, according to celebrating CFP cartoonist, Dag Barkley, Democrats who are sending AOC’s money back are basically telling her to stick it where the proverbial sun don’t shine.
