In its explosive fury about a pro-Republican PAC televised ad, showing an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez photo on fire, so-called ‘Squad’ members prove that only a far left Progressive can be legitimately classified as a protected and privileged ‘Woman of Color’.
Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders-inspired ‘squadettes’ Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley are in a raging tizzy that a picture of their leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) set alight served as the opening for an ad, televised during Thursday’s Democrat presidential debate in Houston.“She went on to describe the ad as an appeal to white supremacists."Know that this wasn’t an ad for young conservatives of color - that was the pretense. What you just watched was a love letter to the GOP’s white supremacist case," she tweeted.”As an established media-created ‘woman of colour’, AOC gets to tell you what you REALLY saw on the ad.
“The ad, released by the Republican New Faces PAC on Thursday, showed the burning image giving way to a photo of skulls symbolizing the death and destruction wrought by the communist regime in Cambodia. (Fox News)
“Narrating the ad, a woman of apparently Cambodian descent described Ocasio-Cortez as the "face of socialism.” (Fox News) “The advert, played on ABC during a break during the debate in Houston and also once the event ended, describes the progressive Democrat as “the face of socialism” while warning against the economic model. “As the image of Ocasio-Cortez burns, the advert segues to scenes of the Cambodian genocide, including skulls. “The advert was promoting a new Republican-supporting Pac, New Faces GOP, based in California, which describes itself as helping to identify “the next generation” of GOP leaders. “Elizabeth Heng, of Fresno, California, who lost in a race to be a congresswoman last year, narrates the advert, saying: “Mine is the face of freedom … my skin is not white. I’m not outrageous, or racist, or a socialist. I’m a Republican.”
“Heng responded to Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter. “Are you really calling me a racist? … I’m calling all Democrats out for supporting an evil ideology. Or are you just in Congress to hang out with celebrities and tweet out ridiculous ideas like the green new deal?”Meanwhile, the Progressive world waits breathlessly for the ABC television network— facing criticism for allowing the advert to run—to apologize. First off the mark is Bend the Arc, a national Jewish organization,stating: “This is right out of the white nationalist playbook. No news network should be profiting off such hatred.” (Guardian, Sept. 12, 2019) AOC claims that Republicans are failing in their “Big Play” to scare people from Socialism. Millions thank God Almighty that they are succeeding.
