Thanks for articulating what a stupid air head AOC is and has always been. She is worse than a typical politician. She is grotesquely mediocre at best. I can't understand why anyone would vote for her but then people also vote for a pathetic slime ball like Lindsey Graham. When it comes to American politicians it is hard to find anything to like.
Not sure how that works but I don't vote anyway so it doesn't matter to me. I quit voting after Obama and the Bernie sham. There is more integrity in not voting than in voting for someone you know is lying or is the lesser of two evils. I do vote on local referendums.
I agree completely. It became apparent to me decades ago that vote tallies are simply invented. My last vote was in 1996. I liked what Clyde Wilson said about voting, something on the order of: While voting may not be evil, it's an act of general cluelessness, like chewing gum.
About a month after she was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mentioned for the first time in public that she was of Sephardic Jewish ancestry.
Her name is on the Wikipedia list of "Puerto Rican people of Jewish descent."
''No, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is not Jewish; she is a Catholic.
In December 2018, during a Hanukkah event in Queens, New York, Ocasio-Cortez revealed that she has Sephardic Jewish ancestry. She explained that her ancestors were Jews who fled Spain during the Spanish Inquisition over 500 years ago, some of whom were forced to convert to Catholicism while secretly maintaining their faith. These descendants eventually settled in Puerto Rico, where her family lineage originates.
While she identifies with her Puerto Rican heritage—which she describes as an amalgamation of African, Indigenous, Spanish, and Jewish roots—she has explicitly stated that she is not claiming to be Jewish herself, but rather acknowledging her distant ancestral background. She has also written about her Catholic faith, noting that her religious background influences her views on social justice and criminal justice reform. "
NEVERTHELESS...SOUNDS LIKE SHE REACHED DEEP INTO THE ZIONIST NARRATIVE TO ALIGN HERSELF WITH MURDEROUS GENOCIDAL MANIACS. That would also make her a lying sack of shit.
BTW: I am a Puerto Rican raised in Brooklyn N.Y. so she is especially despicable and sleazy to me.
Wilrodx, your skepticism about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems justified to me.
The whole point of Nino's excellent post was that AOC can't be trusted on foreign policy.
Since AOC admits that the Catholic part of her religious background "influences her views on social justice and criminal justice reform," it seems fair to wonder whether the Jewish part of her religious background might influence her views on foreign policy.
Of course, realistic people do not expect candor from a politician who makes sure that her ethnic constituency hears that she is Catholic but lets exclusively Jewish audiences know that she comes from a family of crypto Jews.
Yes, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has spoken out about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which she and others have described as genocide.
In March 2024, during a speech on the U.S. House floor, Ocasio-Cortez stated:
“If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes.”
She cited the Israeli government’s blockade of food and humanitarian aid, leading to mass starvation, with over 1 million people in Gaza “at famine’s door.”
She has accused unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel of enabling what she calls a genocide, and has repeatedly called for a permanent ceasefire, the release of hostages, and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza.
In a statement on the first anniversary of the October 7 attacks (October 7, 2024), she condemned Hamas’s violence as a “crime against humanity” but also criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu’s response, saying it led to the killing of over 40,000 Palestinians and pushed Gaza to the brink of famine.
Ocasio-Cortez continues to advocate for U.S. policy changes, including conditioning or halting military support to Israel unless humanitarian and legal standards are upheld.
SHE IS STILL A SLEAZY SCUMBAG POLITICIAN TO ME. THOUGH MAYBE NOT AS BAD AS Lindsey Graham.
Imagine someone telling you 5 years ago that MTG would become more anti-Zionist than AOC.

Holding a seat in Congress isn't proof of having received the most votes in an election.

AOC's Level of Idiocy Has No Bounds and is Frightfully Discomforting to Watch.
