Ocasio Cortez Twitter Aoc
Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez has spent the days following Wednesday’s attempted coup criticizing Senator Josh Hawley for whining about losing a book deal after helping incite the violence. She’s also supported a second impeachment of Donald Trump if he does not resign, which looks increasingly unlikely as the days pass. But on Sunday she called out Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Twitter for complaining about Twitter follower counts and apparent censorship, noting first and foremost that she’s likely telling on herself in the process.
Conservatives have spent the days following the coup attempt complaining online about dwindling follower counts on social media and sites like Parler getting booted from mobile app stores due to a lack of moderation of hate speech.
On Sunday, AOC retweeted a Huckabee Sanders tweet about her plummeting Twitter follower count and pointed out several things, starting with the fact that those followers disappearing is likely because countless QAnon and conspiracy-filled accounts, like Donald Trump’s, have been suspended.

Five people died and we just learned another officer lost his life.
Yet GOP’s central focus right now are their Twitter counts. I bet many don’t even follow their community’s COVID numbers as closely.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 28, 2021 Six people, including a Capitol police officer, died during the riot. Two other officers have since died by suicide, including one on Wednesday. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez / oʊ ˌ k ɑː s i oʊ k ɔːr ˈ t ɛ z / (Spanish: oˈkasjo koɾˈtes; born October 13, 1989), also known by her initials AOC, is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district since 2019. The district includes the eastern part of the Bronx, portions of north-central Queens, and Rikers Island in New York City.
Ocasio-Cortez also stood her ground on Twitter, saying that what is morally right at any given time is not always popular. “The idea that politicians can control activist messaging doesn’t. Jan 28, 2021 The feud between New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, continues to play out on Twitter, with the latest blow coming from the left Thursday.
This narcissism and nihilism succinctly captures the “leadership” they offer.

More than that, though, she tried to point out that Republicans seem far more concerned about an intentionally misleading first amendment argument than actual threats of harm to the nation. Not to mention there’s still an ongoing pandemic that’s killing record numbers of people in the United States every day.
Ocasio-Cortez was far from the only person to call out Sanders and other conservatives tracking follower counts more closely than coronavirus infections, hospitalizations or vaccinations over the weekend, but few politicians can do so more eloquently and succinctly than the Representative from New York.
Yesterday WallStreetBets subreddit caused mass panic in the markets and sent Hedge fund managers crying with huge losses by destroying their short plays on GameStop.
These Reddit users have been using the Robinhood app to make their trades because there are no commissions involved for transactions as well as basically no restrictions on what types of trades you can make.
But after the brouhaha that was caused on The Street and in the business media, apparently, Robinhood blocked their retail investors from trading while leaving those hedge funders alone.
AOC then tweeted this:
This is unacceptable.
We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.
As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary. https://t.co/4Qyrolgzyt

Enter Ted Cruz, who helped inspire and gave aid and comfort to the January 6 seditionists.
Cruz thought he'd hide in plain sight by agreeing with AOC, hoping for a little sugar in return.
Fully agree. 👇 https://t.co/rW38zfLYGh

Instead, AOC reminded Ted Cruz that his rhetoric inspired an assassination plot against her.
I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

Dayum! That's the way to talk to seditionists.
UPDATED: Ted Cruz is a monster.
Cruz response to @AOC tweet: 'You know, there's a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side. It's, it's not healthy for our country, it's certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others.' via hill pool

Sen. Cruz actually claimed all the anger in our country is coming from the left. Did he see what the MAGA mob did on January 6?
This is beyond sycophantic or deluded.
It's totally batsh*t, crazy, insane. Kellyanne Conway needs to come up with a new word to explain his behavior.
Of course AOC and every member of Congress that was in the US Capitol is furious after it was stormed by extremist right wing Trump supporting traitors who had violent intent in their hearts against mostly Democrats.
I'd be angry too if my congressional colleagues aided and abetted the MAGA mob that either tried to murder or attack me.
Cruz needs to resign.
