Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday fired back at Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) for disputing the New York lawmaker’s harrowing experience during the violent insurrection at the Capitol last month that left five dead.
Before the election there were numerous stories about how many Republican women were running for office and how’d they would change the party going forward.
Mace also brushed off Ocasio-Cortez’s rebuke by slamming her for “making this political.”
Pretty sure “this” was the riot, in which a mob of the former executive’s followers stormed the legislature, on his instructions, with murderous intent and a goal to erase the votes of the majority of the country.
That’s an explicitly political action. Oh, and someone ziptied or worse is far more “cancelled” than any of these crybaby conservatives ever will be.
This is nobody-Mace free-riding AOC’s national presence to create a bigger profile for herself. It seems that these type of Congresspeople are working harder at self-marketing and emotional warfare (all in the interest of raising money for re-election) than they are legislating and constituent service.
“i was told that a Biden win meant that i didn’t have to look for these stories anymore, free ice cream for life and certain Bullet Club members that i like/can tolerate, being on my teevee.”
I too hate it when people politicize a tragedy like an attack on government offices instigated by a sitting president. Let’s keep the partisanship out of it, folks.
