AOC Says Something Ignorant
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., responded on Twitter after Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley put the Democrat’s name on a list alongside other Democratic lawmakers who voted against a House resolution expressing America’s support for Israel.
"Oooh, a list!" Ocasio-Cortez responded as her name joined Reps. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.; Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Summer Lee, D-Pa.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; Cori Bush, D-Mo.; Andre Carson, D-Ind.; and Delia Ramirez, D-Ill.
The nine Democrats voted against the resolution, which ultimately passed 412-9. One other Democrat, Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., voted "present."
Ocasio-Cortez added, "Remember to call it ‘People in Congress who think apartheid is wrong’ or alternatively, ‘People in Congress who don’t ignore human rights abuses against Palestinians.’"

Is AOC just a regular Democrat now?
You may have heard that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently endorsed Joe Biden’s reelection campaign. That’s not exactly a surprise since he’s running as an incumbent with no serious opposition. In other words, Bernie isn’t in the race this time around. Still, Freddie deBoer argues it’s not just the endorsement it’s how she did it that felt like a concession to the moderate party she—the revolutionary outsider— has bucked many times in the past.
From there deBoer is off, making a whole bunch of comparisons between the Democratic Socialist AOC and the much more muted and careful politician she is today. For instance, remember these images? This was AOC in 2018 when she was a leftist unknown.
Here’s how deBoer frames it:
She hasn’t completely given up on saying no to the party but her decisions about when to do so seem almost random. She voted for the American Rescue Plan even though it didn’t have the increased minimum wage she wanted. And when it came to her opposition to the Iron Dome funding bill, she voted present rather than opposing it (it won by an overwhelming margin so it didn’t matter either way).
As deBoer goes on to say, if there are no results to show for all of this then it’s fair to ask where all the money has gone and why the left keep sending more. His theory is that the disinclination to question AOC’s usefulness in the scheme of things is really backstopped by a greater unwillingness to question Bernie’s role. If you start asking what she’s accomplished you might next have to ask what he’s accomplished and in both cases the answer is not much.
Bernie does buy houses so he has real estate investments. Is AOC still crying about her rent .?
AOC's campaign keeps paying Chinese foreign agent, FEC filings show
The New York Democrat's campaign paid $442 to Sing Tao Newspapers May 25 for print advertisements, according to her campaign's records.
While a small expense, Ocasio-Cortez's committee appears to be the only one to place advertisements in the paper during the second quarter. Her campaign previously sent $5,000 to the company for the same purpose.
Sing Tao U.S. is a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Sing Tao News Corporation Ltd. In August 2021, the Justice Department required the Chinese-owned entity to register as a Chinese foreign agent as tensions rose between Washington and Beijing.
After the DOJ determined Sing Tao U.S. constituted foreign political activity, Ocasio-Cortez's campaign dropped nearly $1,500 on advertisements with the company before her most recent payment.
Sing Tao's United States operations include Chinese language publications in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. It also has a radio station in Burlingame, California.
"Suncreens in Europe and Asia are better than in the United States because more ingredients are allowed and these create more effective and more pleasing suncreens," he writes.
This is no accident, but rather the deliberate result of regulatory policy. The European Union, for instance, has approved 27 different compounds for use in sunscreen, whereas the FDA has only approved 17.
"The number of approved ingredients matters because not all filters can seamlessly be formulated into sunscreens or other suitable products for skin application," writes the Cato Institute's Gabriella Beaumont-Smith. "Moreover, some of the ingredients approved in the EU and Japan but not the US are more effective and long‐lasting."
If the FDA won't clear more sunscreen ingredients for use in the U.S., the agency should at the very least allow reciprocity: Foreign sunscreens could be made available with warning labels noting that they were approved by European health officials but not by the FDA. Of course, the best option would be for U.S. regulators to simply get out of the way and acknowledge that these products are obviously safe for human use. Indeed, not approving them is the greater danger, since using sunscreen is one of the best ways to prevent skin cancer.
AOC slams the FDA's harmful overregulation of sunscreen
In a recent TikTok video, AOC interviewed esthetician Charlotte Palermino about the abysmally limited sunscreen options in the United States.

I'm not watching the video, but who got called a media whore today? I was listening from the other room and didn't see it.
