It is hard to believe how many times Alexandria Ocaseo Cortez has been elected to the House. She’s like a rash that won’t go away. She spends an inordinate amount of time on X/Twitter and and other social media spewing half-truths and lies then, lies about the lie.
Back in 2019, she lied while sitting in a committee discussing, ironically, social media lies.
In February 2023, I noted the following:
Alexandria Ocazio-Cortez (“AOC” to the masses) is is a petulant, imbecilic fibber and has repeatedly demonstrated that she is not just an unrepentant posing clown, but also one of the dumbest members in the House. Since her election in 2018, she has spent more time fire-branding than legislating and seems to spend the majority of her days preening on social media instead of doing anything useful. Her most oft-used tool is her ability to fabricate and act for the camera. And, when she speaks, she is protected by the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause and federal legislation.
Remember the stunt she pulled with the fake handcuffs? Nick Arama wrote:
We saw Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) pretending to be handcuffed during a protest outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday. They were not handcuffed despite their playacting which they both proved when they were able to raise their fists in the air.
I drew a cartoon to document AOC’s pain
She lies about policy. She lies about life. She even fibbed about her grandmother living in squalor. She got massively trolled by Matt Walsh for her stunt.
That was “pre-Community Notes.”
Now the Queen of Gaslighting, the Princess of Misinformation, went to X/Twitter, again, for a new and fanciful lie and claimed a rally in Puerto Rico was about bashing Trump for… something Trump never said.
You’ll note that the Community Note is now…gone. Why?
After Musk bought X/Twitter, “Community Notes” became an added feature. It is often interesting but also can be swarmed and shut down by Democrat bots. Jennifer Oliver O’Connell wrote about how Harris’ team has attacked Community Notes in a coordinated effort to suppress their own lies.
With the election today, apparently, AOC has Harris hacks helping her. Their job is to swarm Community Notes. The result is when AOC presents a blatant lie on X/Twitter, a Community Note might appear calling her out…then disappear.
AOC always has a Baghdad Bob-worthy explanation for all her fibbing — from her acting job at a detention center to a rally in Puerto Rico, she is a professional fibber. When confronted, she just lies with…a lie.
What is amazing? It isn’t that people like AOC lie on X/Twitter. It’s that she is a member of Congress, and her district keeps sending her back to Congress.
