“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”

    Unfortunately we voted the Democrats out of all the positions that could have actually hold Republicans accountable. Republicans never hold each other accountable.

    I really understand the frustration, it’s not enough but that’s exactly why we need people like AOC in a position to hold Republicans accountable because at least we know they will, rather than establishment Democrats.

      As far as Democrats go, AOC is not one. Don’t vote Pelosi or motherfucking Schumer. Fuck those failed opportunities to abort. Vote AOC and vote progressive at every opportunity.
