Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was roasted after she attempted to shame Republicans “who voted NO” on the Democrats’ sham anti-hate resolution.
The Democratic socialist sneered at GOP lawmakers who didn’t condemn bigotry, as she saw it, by supporting their Democratic colleagues in passing the watered-down bill condemning all forms of hate rather than target anti-Semitic remarks from Rep. Ilhan Omar.
“Did they get called out, raked over, ambushed in halls and relentlessly asked why not?” the freshman congresswoman from New York asked in a tweet Thursday, calling out the lack of “outrage” over the Republicans who essentially voted against the broadened language of the bill.
Where’s the outrage over the 23 GOP members who voted NO on a resolution condemning bigotry today?
Oh, there’s none?
Did they get called out, raked over, ambushed in halls and relentlessly asked why not?
No? Okay. Got it.

It didn’t take long for the truth-bombs to descend.
You’ve defended anti-Semitism from Rep. Omar repeatedly, you helped force Democratic leadership not to condemn her, and then you condemn Republicans for not voting for a sham resolution designed to obscure her anti-Semitism. You should be ashamed. https://t.co/TChRGblCDi

The farcical resolution that failed to condemn Omar for her repeated anti-Semitic smears that you all are now gaslighting America over? Why hasn’t she been stripped of her committees as King was? Because you all endorse this. https://t.co/hTDCH1rTCK

They didn’t condone hate you moron. They condemned your hate for Israel and Jews.

Even Jewish members of Congress voted against it because it did not condemn your anti-Semitic colleague, Ilhan Omarhttps://t.co/9O6ta4wfnI

President Trump slammed the vote as a “disgrace” and described Democrats as the “anti-Israel party.”

Ocasio-Cortez ignorantly blasted Republicans for condoning hate when even Jewish members of Congress would not vote yes on the weak-worded measure that only served to defend Omar’s smears. Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York condemned the bill citing Omar’s multiple apologies after repeatedly coming under fire for controversial anti-Semitic remarks.

Ocasio-Cortez’s defense of her friend and colleague was blasted on social media as Twitter users rebuked the congresswoman for her snide swipe at Republicans.
Those 23 GOP members voted “NO” on that resolution because it was a sham and it did not condemn anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) https://t.co/10TzZhGcv8

You’re only fooling the fools.

Yeah they voted against a watered-down, catch-all sham designed to deflect from the real instigating issue: Anti-semitism. People who pretend this was a “pro-hate” vote or whatever are laughable hacks.

The Democrats’ America sucks resolution. They’d rather condemn all Americans than condemn a single Jew-hater in their party. Truly sickening & perverse. https://t.co/Urg2oZxw1N

You are a terrible, miserable person and unworthy of my clever trolls. I regret the time I’ve spent thinking of retorts to you when you’re nothing but a disgusting liar. https://t.co/4oXpYNqITy

Republicans voted against the sham resolution, because it was an embarrassing document constructed to shield their infamous anti-Semite. Make no mistake, @IlhanMN is the new face of the Democratic Party.
2020 will be woke with the @TheDemocrats as the party of Farrakhan.

Where is the outrage that Congress is wasting time and taxpayer money to pass meaningless resolutions that will have zero impact on anything.
How about you do your job and legislate?
— Sean OBrien (@Leprakon76) March 8, 2019
Your party shields Anti-Semites with bogus legislation and you ask his. Clueless dumbass. You need to worry about staying out of jail.

You already know the answer to your disingenuous question. Besides, we still haven’t recovered from the outrage of @IlhanMN anti-Semitic remarks with no consequences.

How about calling out your buddy? That resolution was crap and you know it you dumb twit.
