Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka Hillary 2.0, is just as formidable if not more so. Also formidable is Peter Schwastika. Another spot-on book by one of the genre’s best writers!” – Robert Bork “Who would think this pretty young hard body with large, firm breasts and sexy legs would be such a dastardly toady of HRC and the Deep State? The DSA endorsed Ocasio-Cortez, and young, enthusiastic volunteers stormed her district in the weeks leading up to the election. In the end, she beat Crowley by about 4,000 votes.

Origin On 2 April 2019, U.S. President Donald Trump referred to U.S. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a “young bartender” during a fundraising dinner for the National Republican Congressional.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday once again called on Sen. Ted Cruz to resign, while taking the Texan to task for his role in inciting the January 6 attack by supporters of former President Donald Trump on the U.S. Capitol that the congresswoman says nearly ended her life.

Her suggestion followed Democrats' call for a congressional investigation of Robinhood, the free securities trading app at the center of the GameStop controversy, and what Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called its 'decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.'

'Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren't trying to get me killed.'
—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

As Common Dreamsreported earlier Thursday, the retail video game store GameStop 'is now at the center of an explosive fiasco on Wall Street in which major investment firms and hedge funds got taken to the cleaners by users of an online message board, namely the Reddit sub-page r/WallStreetBets, who mobilized collectively to drive up the company's stock price at a moment when many large, institutional investors had placed large bets for it to go down.'

Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted that he agreed with Ocasio-Cortez's assessment, but she rejected the fleeting display of bipartisanship in light of the events of January 6.

As Mother Jones' Inae Oh put it, 'After Ted Cruz attempted to get cute and show some rare agreement with the New York congresswoman by joining her criticism of the trading app Robinhood for blocking certain GameStop trades, Ocasio-Cortez promptly told Cruz to fuck off.'

Here's what it looked like:

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

You haven’t even apologized for the serious physical + mental harm you contributed to from Capitol Police & custodial workers to your own fellow members of Congress.

In the meantime, you can get off my timeline & stop clout-chasing. Thanks.

Happy to work with other GOP on this.

That wasn't the end of it. After Cruz reportedly fumed about 'partisan rage and anger on the Democratic side,' Ocasio-Cortez shot back: 'Now why would there be anger that Cruz amplified known lies about our election that fueled an insurrection that cost [people's] lives? What does he think the logical response to his lies should be? A hug?'

“We need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable. But if you’re mad at that you’re divisive.” - GOP

Ocasio-Cortez described the seriousness of the events of January 6 in a poignant Instagram Live video earlier this month in which she called the Capitol attack 'a pretty traumatizing event.'

Ocasio-Cortez and other lawmakers were inside the Capitol and in the process of certifying the Electoral College vote for President Joe Biden when a massive mob, inflamed by Trump's lies and conspiracy theories about a 'stolen election' also spread by Cruz and other Republicans, overran the complex.

Five people died in the ensuing mayhem as lawmakers—including numerous maskless coronavirus-spreading Republicans and at least one GOP member who has menaced Squad members before—scrambled for the security of a safe room.

'I can tell you that I had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die,' Ocasio-Cortez said in the video. 'I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of that day alive.'

Ocasio-Cortez subsequently called on Cruz, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and other GOP inciters to resign.

'Sen. Cruz, you must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of four people yesterday,' she tweeted on January 7, hours before United States Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from injuries caused by the mob.

Ocasio-Cortez has since repeated calls for Cruz, Hawley, and other insurrectionist Republicans to be expelled from Congress.

(Bloomberg) -- Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said young people today are “realistic and pragmatic” with their votes, and they will support Joe Biden even if they don’t regard him as a perfect candidate.

“Young people right now have a very disciplined activist mindset. And they are not here with the intent of voting for their favorite person or voting for someone that they think is perfect as president,” the New York congresswoman said in an interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“They want to vote for a president that is at least going to be receptive to their advocacy, activism and protest,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “There’s no question that Joe Biden is a much better person in that position.”

Ocasio-Cortez said she supports Joe Biden as president, despite disagreeing with the Democratic candidate on fracking issues. Unlike the progressive New York Democrat, Biden is opposed to banning fracking, despite supporting a transition to renewable energy.

“We need to focus on winning the White House first,” Ocasio-Cortez said. If Biden becomes the president, “it will be a privilege to lobby him” on fracking issues, she added.

Earlier this week, the outspoken Democrat hosted a livestream of her playing the popular video game “Among Us” in an effort to encourage young people to vote. She said it was an “effective” strategy as five million people have viewed it since.

“We were the highest driver to iwillvote.com ever during the cast of a livestream,” Ocasio-Cortez said, citing information from the Democratic National Committee. The website, backed by DNC, provides voting information and helps users check their registration status.
