Ocasio-Cortez Blames Cruz & Hawley for Capitol Riot, Demands They Resign or Be Removed

The following article, Ocasio-Cortez Blames Cruz & Hawley for Capitol Riot, Demands They Resign or Be Removed, was first published on Flag And Cross.

Democrats now have control of the House, Senate, and Executive Branch. In other words, America is royally screwed for at least two solid years – and that isn’t hyperbole.

It is fact.

People like AOC will now be free to push their far-left agenda, virtually unchecked. Also, say goodbye to the filibuster.

LOOK:

The attack at the Capitol was a despicable act of terrorism and a shocking assault on our democratic system. We must come together and put this anger and division behind us. We must, and I am confident we will, have a peaceful and orderly transition of power. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/84HHQdpMZd

AOC’s ignorant reply…

Sen. Cruz, you must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of four people yesterday. And how you fundraised off this riot.

Both you and Senator Hawley must resign. If you do not, the Senate should move for your expulsion. https://t.co/O2m6T59LYP

Cruz’s response…

1/2 @AOC You are a liar.

Leading a debate in the Senate on ensuring election integrity is doing our jobs, and it’s in no way responsible for the despicable terrorists who attacked the Capitol yesterday.

And sorry, I ain’t going anywhere. When you and your socialist buddies… https://t.co/UoKBOC8ZU7

2/2 …try to massively raise taxes, when you try to pass the green new deal & destroy millions of jobs, when you push for amnesty, when you try to pack the Supreme Court w/ activists to undermine our Constitutional rights…

I will fight that every step & stand with the People.

Here are a few other tweets from the ignorant commie…

What if activists aren’t PR firms for politicians & their demands are bc police budgets are exploding, community resources are shrinking to bankroll it, & ppl brought this up for ages but it wasn’t until they said “defund” that comfortable people started paying attn to brutality

The thing that critics of activists don’t get is that they tried playing the “polite language” policy game and all it did was make them easier to ignore.

It wasn’t until they made folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do ANYTHING even if it wasn’t their full demands.

The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable… that’s the point.

Hawley had his book contract canceled…
