AOC Lied To Support Genocide
We already knew this, but it's been confirmed
This is not actual news, since anyone who was following the news at the time knew that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was lying, but it is nice to have some confirmation.
As reported by Drop Site News, Channel 13 in Israel just released a report detailing how Joe Biden and Kamala Harris never asked for a ceasefire. The full article can be found at the Times of Israel. Also see this thread from Drop Site on Twitter. Here are a few choice quotes:
“God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.” - Former Israeli Ambassador under Joe Biden, Michael Herzog
“I will always stand firm behind the idea that Israel has a right to defend itself and that the United States has a responsibility to help Israel, and I’ll do that no matter who the prime minister is, no matter what they say about me or the US or the president that I work for.” - Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser under Joe Biden
“You’re just killing and destroying for the sake of killing and destroying. But you’re not building an alternative.” - Ilan Goldberg, Senior National Security Advisor under Joe Biden
“This was the most significant political peril of Joe Biden’s political career. The easiest thing for Joe Biden… to do if he was worried about the votes in Michigan, is to basically get a little soft. He refused to do it,” Former US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides
“There was an enormous pressure on [Biden] inside the White House to change his position. So, when I hear comments about [how] he wasn’t good enough, or he didn’t have Israel’s back, am I disgusted by it? 100%. Is it true? 100% no.” Former US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides
Even under pressure from inside the White House, it is clear that Biden chose genocide. And Kamala Harris was with him every step of the way. In an interview with The View, she was asked if there was anything she would have done differently from Biden and she answered, “There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of – and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact, the work that we have done.” She would also say, “You asked me, what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me? Well, that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my cabinet, because I don’t, I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea.” This is who AOC was providing “left” cover for during the Democratic National Convention when she lied to the nation.
The simple fact of the matter is that AOC is looking out for her own political gain. She is not interested in the class struggle or ending the genocide. She pays lip service to progressive values but turns around and betrays them first chance she gets if it benefits her. No principled human being would lie to the country to support a genocidal candidate.
AOC has yet to comment on the recent story showing without a doubt that she was lying. No apologies, just crickets.
AOC has a public history. It's not good.
Her congessional voting record is only the trailer to her movie. Public statements and public appearances also tell a story, but the most dramatic part of her history are the public statements and appearances she *didn't* make, and the people and issues she didnt support. Campaign funding and fundraising that most people arent aware of are also publicly accessible, but people conditioned to believe a particular narrative will not look up anything critical of that narrative.
MSM is the main, and worse, source of political information, imo. It is the primary source of propaganda by design. That is what most of the conditioned electorate, the majority on both sides, watches, reads, and hears about from their trusted co-workers, friends, and even their warm and fuzzy millionaire TV comics with a desk and a political platform.
The only thing that is important is someone's actual record and their donors.
Regarding Donors: people talk about bribery but the average person cant wrap their heads around coercion and how that part of politics actually works. Once you cash their big campaign check, you never speak out against them. Either way, Once you are famous, you are told to stay in line...and you do.
You are up against blind genocidal party apparatchiks who reside on the same American capitalist political spectrum as the Orange guy, and it is just killing them because they don’t know how to get off their merry-go-round. After all rhey are carefully trained to do as they are told.
You are correct, neither AOC nor Kamala opposed genocide and arming Israel. They were not fooled, they are complicit.
