Once again, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) won’t let Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) get away with hoodwinking the public.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday accused Sen. Ted Cruz of ’trying to get me killed’ during the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol and called for his resignation from the. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat, and U.S. Ted Cruz, a Republican, likely don’t agree on much. So when they found themselves on the same side of a hot-button issue.
Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday continued her streak of headline-worthy dunks on Cruz — even after the Trump-target-turned-loyalist unexpectedly found common ground with the New York Democrat over their criticism of stock trading platform Robinhood.
Robinhood had blocked users from buying or trading certain stocks in light of the unexpected and entertaining run on GameStop.
Shortly after Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, decried Robinhood’s decision as “unacceptable” and called for a hearing on the issue, Cruz chimed in by tweeting that he “fully agrees.”
Welp. Cruz once again found himself in familiar territory: getting called out by the social media savvy lawmaker.
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

Ocasio-Cortez still wasn’t having it after Cruz accused the New York Democrat of inciting “partisan anger” in remarks to Capitol Hill reporters on Thursday — a rich assertion given Cruz’s vote to challenge election results just hours after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month. For months leading up to the Capitol riot, Cruz egged on former President Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud.
“You know, there’s a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side,” Cruz said, in response to Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet, before going onto repeat the GOP’s laughable calls for unity. “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.”
Ocasio-Cortez refused to let Cruz get away with his attempt at singing kumbaya …
“We need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable. But if you’re mad at that you’re divisive.” – GOP

… which Ocasio-Cortez had done before in tweets posted days after the Capitol riots Trump and his Republican allies, like Cruz, incited.
Your GOP colleague in the House praised Hitler this week. A Confederate flag was hung outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Yet you continue to deny this clear connection in the aftermath of Wednesday’s violence.
You disgrace yourself and your office further every day. Resign.

Ocasio-Cortez even found a way to call out Cruz’s “unity” gambit by pointing out the Texas senator’s campaign fundraising messaging that still pushed for challenging the election results amid the mob of Trump supporters breaching the Capitol.
Your complete refusal to acknowledge any of the above harm, wrongdoing, or even misjudgement; & your lack of any self-reflection in how these acts contributed to yesterday’s chaos is alarming. It is unbecoming of any elected official and makes you unfit for the office you occupy.

There was also that time a week ago when Ocasio-Cortez had to school Cruz — who, let’s be honest, certainly knows better — on the Paris climate accord.
Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva?
Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States https://t.co/mMf8iDo72G

Jpas loss of jurisdiction. And reminding Cruz last year that she was qualified to blast then-Vice President Mike Pence for heading up the White House coronavirus task force, citing Pence’s science denial that fed into one of the worst HIV outbreaks during his time serving as Indiana’s governor.
Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.
Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. https://t.co/vOIwJhpl7q

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) on Thursday demanded an apology from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for Twitter comments she made holding Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) accountable for a history of dangerous rhetoric that had deadly consequences at the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.
“It has come to my attention that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a tweet a few hours ago in which she accused Senator Ted Cruz, in essence, of attempted murder,” Roy, who previously served as Cruz’s chief of staff, wrote in a letter addressed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
“It is completely unacceptable behavior for a Member of Congress to make this kind of scurrilous charge against another member in the House or Senate for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding electors as they interpreted the Constitution. I ask you to call on her to immediately apologize and retract her comments,” Roy wrote.
Roy was among a minority of GOP House members who did not join an effort to object to President Biden’s electoral victory in Arizona and Pennsylvania earlier this month, but appears to have decided Ocasio-Cortez’s expression of fear is inappropriate.
The thinly-veiled comments appeared to defend Cruz as a warrior of freedom “simply engaging in speech,” when he acted as a ring leader in falsehood and advanced an effort to object to President Biden’s win on Jan. 6 that sparked a deadly insurrection.
While rejecting that his rhetoric played a role in provoking the riot, Cruz, who rode former President Trump’s coattails in a months-long effort to refuse his party’s defeat in the presidential election suggested in a Fox News interview earlier this week that it was “time to move on.”
Ocasio-Cortez, refusing to allow the Texas senator to brush his antidemocratic charade under the proverbial carpet, rebuked Cruz after chimed in support as she condemned the stock-trading app Robinhood for blocking the trade of GameStop stocks.Aoc Hiding In Congress
“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,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response. “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.”
In the wake of the deadly riot on the U.S. Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez has been outspoken about her concerns during the riot that a number of GOP colleagues might jeopardize her safety and even “create opportunities” for her to be hurt.
Roy concluded his letter both calling on Congress to “move forward,” while awkwardly refusing to do so himself — warning that if Ocasio-Cortez did not apologize for he would “be forced to find alternative means” to condemn her “regrettable statement.” Ocasio Cortez Cruz Have a tip? Send it Here!
