“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”

    I invite you to reflect on the words I’m saying instead of just focusing on the high you’re getting from what you perceive as owning me or whatever.

    Your responses and this baseless rejection of my identity is so aggressive and weird that it’s not triggering any emotional response in me, I’m just confused.

    I don’t think I said anything to justify your hostility, I even agreed with your irrelevant point.

      I’ll take my words back when you start complaining about all of the other countries too.

        Why do you want me to complain about other countries in a thread specifically about US domestic politics?

        That’s so weird.

        All of the countries are guilty, especially the Arab puppet rulers, starting with the tomato king Abdullah of Jordan and khara Sisi of Egypt who allow the transport of commercial goods to Israel while blocking aid to Gaza and intercepting Iranian rockets on the heads of Jordanians. None of that is relevant when discussing American politics.
