‘UGLY RACIST TWEET’: Ocasio-Cortez Slammed for Promoting Bigotry
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced backlash this week after she came to the defense of fellow far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Twitter following racial remarks that Tlaib made during a House Oversight Committee hearing. . .
“Just because someone has a person of color, a black person, working for them does not mean they aren’t racist and … the fact someone would actually use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee is alone racist in itself,” Tlaib said as she took aim at Meadows.
Ocasio-Cortez responded by tweeting: “Total bravery from @RashidaTlaib as she reminds the nation that tokenism *is* racism.”

The Reagan Battalion: “This is an ugly racist tweet. Assuming that a woman of color is too stupid to know what she wants and she is being used as a ‘token’ is racist.”

Actually @RashidaTlaib displayed her racism for the world to see. She said a black woman wasn't intelligent enough to be there of her own free will and instead was there only because the white man told her to be there. Antisemitic and says black women don't think for themselves

The only racism here was from her! It’s a standard practice from you guys to create racism where there is none and it’s getting old!

For someone who represents themselves as a supposed champion for minorities, do you have any idea how RACIST and disrepectful what you just said was? You owe Lynne an apology.

You and your colleague Rep Tlaib are treating an individual as nothing more than her skin color, without agency or belief. Shame on you. Not only a socialist, but utterly deplorable and ignorant to boot https://t.co/usz7kNKQps
