Ocasio-Cortez Endorses Reported Jew-Hater In British Elections, But Conservatives Win (Watch)
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) constantly finds herself between a rock and a hard place but always manages to finagle her way out of any situation. It must be AWESOME having the mainstream media on your side.
On Thursday, the freshman lawmaker officially endorsed a far-left candidate over Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Britain’s elections. What American Democrats will overlook is the fact that Jeremy Corbyn is a noted anti-Semite. Nobody on the left seems to care about that, for some reason.
From Daily Wire:
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) meddled in a foreign election on Thursday when she shared a video promoting far-left British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and encouraged people to turn out and vote in the election.
WATCH:
This video is about the UK, but it might as well have been produced about the United States.
The hoarding of wealth by the few is coming at the cost of peoples’ lives.
The only way we change is with a massive surge of *new* voters at the polls. UK, Vote!

About Corbyn being an anti-Semite, via National Review:
When it comes to anti-Semitism in the Labour party, the media have fallen for Corbyn’s deception too. Corbyn’s longstanding support for radical causes includes a penchant for Islamist anti-Semites. He invited members of Hamas and Hezbollah to the British Parliament as “friends” and was paid perhaps as much as £20,000 (about $27,000 at the time) to appear on Iranian Press TV — the same network that was banned in the U.K. for its broadcast of a forced confession by a tortured Iranian journalist. In one appearance Corbyn mused that “the hand of Israel” was involved in a terror attack in Egypt. He traveled to Tunisia in 2014 and participated in a ceremony honoring terrorists who murdered eleven Israelis at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Corbyn also hosted an event at the British Parliament in 2010 comparing Israel to Nazi Germany (part of a U.K. tour called “Never Again for Anyone — Auschwitz to Gaza”) and attended events by Deir Yassin Remembered, a group chaired by Holocaust denier Paul Eisen.

This #exitpoll projection from the UK is fantastic. Socialism fails again. The hard left destroyed again. You love to see it.

Ocasio-Cortez changed her Twitter handle to “AOC.”
The media calls her AOC. Heck, her own chief of staff refers to her as AOC and she doesn’t have a problem with it.
But when House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) calls Ocasio-Cortez by her nickname, she’s not a fan.
LOOK:
.@GOPLeader keeps calling her @AOC “Congresswoman AOC.”

Your Twitter handle used to be “Ocasio2018” but you changed it to “AOC” and your own chief of staff calls you “AOC” in interviews.

You’re on record saying it’s ok to call you “AOC.” Your own staff uses this moniker. What changed?
