Ocasio Cortez Cries

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) cried “racism” on Thursday after a member of Congress accused her and her far-left cohorts of being Ayatollah sympathizers and spreading Iranian propaganda. John Rutherford (R-FL) called out far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) on Wednesday after Jayapal spread Iranian propaganda during a press conference, falsely calling the. Ocasio-Cortez’s very public support for the disastrous policy allowed Republicans to tag Democrats as the party of defunding the police. That led to the GOP picking up 14 seats in the House this past November when Nancy Pelosi predicted Democrats would pad their majority by netting an additional 15 or 20 seats.

Yesterday WallStreetBets subreddit caused mass panic in the markets and sent Hedge fund managers crying with huge losses by destroying their short plays on GameStop.

These Reddit users have been using the Robinhood app to make their trades because there are no commissions involved for transactions as well as basically no restrictions on what types of trades you can make.

But after the brouhaha that was caused on The Street and in the business media, apparently, Robinhood blocked their retail investors from trading while leaving those hedge funders alone.

AOC then tweeted this:

This is unacceptable.
We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.
As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary. https://t.co/4Qyrolgzyt

Enter Ted Cruz, who helped inspire and gave aid and comfort to the January 6 seditionists.

Cruz thought he'd hide in plain sight by agreeing with AOC, hoping for a little sugar in return.

Fully agree. 👇 https://t.co/rW38zfLYGh

Instead, AOC reminded Ted Cruz that his rhetoric inspired an assassination plot against her.

I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

Dayum! That's the way to talk to seditionists.

UPDATED: Ted Cruz is a monster.

Cruz response to @AOC tweet: 'You know, there's a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side. It's, it's not healthy for our country, it's certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others.' via hill pool

Sen. Cruz actually claimed all the anger in our country is coming from the left. Did he see what the MAGA mob did on January 6?

This is beyond sycophantic or deluded.

It's totally batsh*t, crazy, insane. Kellyanne Conway needs to come up with a new word to explain his behavior.

Of course AOC and every member of Congress that was in the US Capitol is furious after it was stormed by extremist right wing Trump supporting traitors who had violent intent in their hearts against mostly Democrats.

I'd be angry too if my congressional colleagues aided and abetted the MAGA mob that either tried to murder or attack me.

Cruz needs to resign.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to be expelled from Congress while blasting him for 'crying over a book deal' after his publisher cancelled the release of his book following riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Hawley objected to Pennsylvania's Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden when Congress met to certify his victory over President Donald Trump on Wednesday. A violent mob of Trump supporters, fueled by false claims that the election had been 'stolen,' stormed the building not long after the joint session began.

Publisher Simon & Schuster canceled Hawley's book deal the next day, prompting him to threaten legal action, which in turn prompted a sharp rebuke from Ocasio-Cortez.

'You fist-pumped insurrectionists and baselessly attacked our elections,' Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to Hawley threatening to sue the publisher. 'Your actions fueled a riot and you fundraised in the chaos. Five people are dead. Even your GOP colleagues have distanced from your acts. Yet here you are crying over a book deal. You should be expelled.'

You fist-pumped insurrectionists and baselessly attacked our elections. Your actions fueled a riot and you fundraised in the chaos. Five people are dead.

Even your GOP colleagues have distanced from your acts.

Yet here you are crying over a book deal. You should be expelled. https://t.co/9Xn8T9vol4

Ocasio-Cortez had tweeted earlier that Hawley and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the only senators to launch complaints during the certification process, should both resign or be expelled by the Senate. She said that Cruz 'must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of four people yesterday,' while also accusing him of using the violence for fundraising purposes.

What To Know About The Electoral College Certification Amid Riots At Capitol Hill

Simon and Schuster announced Thursday that they would no longer be publishing Hawley's book The Tyranny of Big Tech because they 'cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom.' Prior to the cancellation, the book had been set to be released in June.

Hawley responded to the news by releasing what he called 'a statement to the woke mob' at the publishing house, claiming that the decision was an assault on his First Amendment rights and had been made because he was trying to protect 'voter integrity' with his objection to Biden's win.

'This could not be more Orwellian,' Hawley wrote in the statement, which was posted to Twitter. 'Simon & Schuster is canceling my contract because I was representing my constituents, leading a debate on the Senate floor on voter integrity, which they have now decided to redefine as sedition. Let me be clear, this is not just a contract dispute. It's a direct assault on the First Amendment. Only approved speech can now be published. This is the Left looking to cancel everyone they don't approve of. I will fight this cancel culture with everything I have. We'll see you in court.'

The Senate overwhelmingly rejected the evidence-free claims of massive voter fraud that had been heavily promoted by Trump before finalizing Biden's win, voting 92-7 against the objection from Hawley and 93-6 against the Cruz objection.

Newsweek reached out to Hawley's office for comment.
