AOC Claps Back Hard At Trump’s Border Czar When He Threatens Her With ‘Trouble’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) masterfully clapped back at the Trump administration’s so-called “border czar,” Tom Homan, after he issued a veiled threat to her, and her comments have gone viral on social media.

During an appearance on Fox News Thursday evening, Homan was asked by host Laura Ingraham about a webinar Ocasio-Cortez had posted online about migrant’s rights and how they can avoid being deported. According to Ingraham, the congresswoman was showing migrants how to “game the system.”

“And I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general,” Homan warned. “At what level is that impedement [sic]? Is that impedement [sic]? I’m not an attorney, I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impedement [sic]? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? And if so, what are we gonna do about it? Is she crossing the line? So, I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross? So, maybe AOC’s gonna be in trouble now.”

Tom Homan says he sent an email to the Deputy AG asking if AOC is crossing the line by providing webinars to undocumented immigrants: I’m not an attorney… maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now

Ocasio-Cortez responded with a brilliant clapback.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw”Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

As if the actions of the Trump administration regarding immigration weren’t disgusting enough, now they’re issuing threats to members of Congress who dare to pass along information to those who could be targeted by the White House. Since when is that a crime? And if it becomes a crime, what’s next? Criminalizing thoughts the way Big Brother did in Orwell’s 1984?

“Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you.”

Tom Homan and his ilk need to take a long look at themselves and decide if they want to be charged with crimes against humanity when the Trump administration fades into history. They may have presidential protection at the moment, but they won’t have it forever, and karma can be a nasty son of a bitch.

AOC Claps Back HARD After Elon Musk Says She ‘Isn’t That Smart’

Twitter CEO Elon Musk found out the hard way that if you’re going to attack New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you’d better bring more than some pathetic snarky putdown or else be prepared to suffer the consequences.

It seems that Musk saw a video from AOC in which she noted the stark difference in the number of immigrants being allowed into the United States these days versus the much reduced number of immigrants currently being accepted as potential citizens.

Ashely St. Clair of the right-wing Babylon Bee lamely called Ocasio-Cortez out.


That led Musk to join the debate, completely uninvited.

Not that smart? That’s laughable coming from a man who purchased Twitter for $44 billion and has almost driven it into the ground, watching the social media platform lose two-thirds of its total value in just a year’s time.

The Guardian reports:

Fidelity, an asset manager that held a stake in Twitter worth about $20m after Musk acquired the business for $44bn, said in a corporate filing that its stake was now worth just under $6.6m. That would value the overall company, now officially called X Holdings Corp after Musk’s early venture X.com, at just $14.75bn.

Ocasio-Cortez was only too happy to fire back at Musk.


When Musk attempted a retort, his response fell far short, much like his failing career in the business world.

Sorry, Elon, but no one is impressed by your massive failures. In fact, we kind of wish you’d buy a deserted island, move there, and never return.

Oh, and don’t take a cell phone or computer with you when you leave. No one wants to read your juvenile rantings.

AOC Has the Perfect Clapback To Marjorie Taylor Greene Calling NYC ‘Disgusting’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) masterfully trolled Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Twitter after Greene called New York City “disgusting.”

Greene traveled to Manhattan on Tuesday for the arraignment of failed former president Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to hide hush money payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump allegedly had an extramarital affair with Daniels, though he denies doing so.

The Georgia Republican was downright rude when she discussed her time in New York, where she led a protest rally and hightailed it after five minutes when people began hurling verbal barbs at her.

Asked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson about how New York City looked, Greene replied:

“No, his home is disgusting. I compare it to what I call Gotham City. The streets are filthy, they’re covered with people basically dying on drugs. They can’t even stand up; they’re falling over. There’s so much crime in the city, I can’t comprehend how people live there. It was repulsive, it smells bad. I think it’s a terrible place.”


That didn’t sit well with Ocasio-Cortez, who took to Twitter and destroyed Greene.

Ocasio-Cortez added:

“If anyone went on TV and talked about a rural area like this, it’d be gloves off – and deservedly so. This is no different,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “If she doesn’t like the greatest city in the United States, that’s her problem. I ♥️ NY.”

That’s how to take down a bully like Marjorie Greene, who hasn’t responded to Ocasio-Cortez yet.

Climate Change Congress GOP Viral Video

WATCH AOC Emasculate A GOP Congressman After He Tells Her To ‘Educate Herself’

Video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) laying a verbal smackdown on a condescending House Republican colleague has gone viral on social media.

During floor debate Thursday on a bill that would require the federal government “to approve a plan to increase drilling on federal lands and waters” before drawing fuel from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in non-emergency cases, Ocasio-Cortez proposed an amendment to the legislation, HuffPost reports.

(AOC) argued in a speech on the House floor Thursday that leasing more land to fossil fuel companies wouldn’t guarantee a drop in gas prices and added that companies making profits won’t “pass along” the savings to consumers.

“What leasing more land does do, however, is guarantee that we will accelerate the devastating impact of climate change,” Ocasio-Cortez argued.

That led Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) to rise and address Ocasio-Cortez:

“You care about the air quality, you care about climate change. Natural gas is what got America there. Educate yourself on that.”

In response, Ocasio-Cortez took a rhetorical flamethrower to Duncan, telling him:

“I understand in this body it’s not the first time that it seems as though the opposing side can’t seem to be able to debate the issue and so they must come after my character.

“While I cannot control the fact that the other side seems to have made the assumption that I am uneducated, one of the things I can say… is while I may not work for Wall Street, that is true. I may not be here with the mission to increase profits for corporations, that is true. My mission here is for the well-being and dignity of our family and our planet’s future, for our children’s ability to live on this planet.”

She also took Duncan to task later in the day on Twitter:

“Fewer things are more predictable than Republicans having a meltdown when I’m clearing them in a debate.”

“In case you’re curious about why this man is so angry with me, it may be because I introduced an amendment to a GOP bill that would prohibit oil and gas companies who engage in stock buybacks from leasing federal lands,” she wrote, adding “Seems as though I hit a nerve!”

Congress GOP WTF?!

AOC Has The Perfect Comeback When A GOP Rep. Says Democrats Are Drinking On The House Floor

Since Republicans in the House of Representatives continue to prove that they cannot manage to elect a Speaker, they’re now lashing out at their Democratic colleagues, but it turns out they’re no better at that than they are at picking a leader.

During debate on the House floor Wednesday, Mediaite reports, Rep.-elect Kat Cammack (R-FL) accused Democrats of drinking as they watched the GOP debacle continue for the second straight day.

Refusing to elect McCarthy as Speaker, said Cammack, was tantamount to “stifl[ing] the will of the American people.”

She credited McCarthy for having “done more than anyone in this chamber to secure a Republican majority,” and said they needed to “unify now” to oppose the “liberal Senate” and “Obama’s J.V. Team in the White House.”

“The American people sent a conservative majority to govern this body,” she continued, but “we cannot begin to govern because heck, we can’t even swear in as members of Congress.”

“Diversity of thought” was “a good thing,” and sets Republicans “apart from our friends on the other side of the aisle,” Cammack continued, who “want us divided” and “want us to fight each other.”

And then Cammack casually dropped in her specious accusation:

“That much has been made clear but the popcorn and blankets and alcohol that has come in over there.”

There were loud boos and jeers in response to Cammack’s cheap shot, but perhaps the best comeback came from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who replied on Twitter.

“If only! If Dems took a shot every time McCarthy lost a Republican, we’d all be unconscious by now”

At last count, McCarthy had lost FIVE votes to be Speaker, garnering fewer votes than Democratic House leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

If anyone needs a drink, it’s the House GOP caucus. Maybe if they got rip-roaring drunk they could actually manage to accomplish something. Then again, they’d probably argue over who got the last swig from the bottle.
