AOC Makes Insanely Stupid “Demand”, Calls For Resignations Of Republicans Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, And Kevin McCarthy

Self-proclaimed Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is drumming up her calls for Republican Senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Rep. Kevin McCarthy to resign in the wake of the January 6 chaos in Capitol Hill.

The Democratic superstar is now “demanding” that the GOP lawmaker step down from office claiming that exercising their right to challenge the Electoral College votes is “abandonment of our sworn oath.”

“What we saw last week was not just a violent coup attempt, but we also saw a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of our country and a betrayal of the oath that we swear. And that is why I have demanded the resignations of senators (sic) Ted Cruz, senators (sic) Josh Hawley, Majority Leader, Republican Major— rather, Republican Minority Leader in the House McCarthy, Kevon McCarthy, along with many others,” the New York lawmaker said.

“This is not just about political opinion or partisanship. This was about the abandonment of our sworn oath.”

“For what? For personal ambition? For greater loyalty to a base?”

AOC’s posturing to exert control over Congress follows her comments last week against the Republican lawmakers who backed President Donald Trump and challenged the election results telling them to “get out” of Congress.

“I want to be clear to Senator Ted Cruz, you do not belong in the United States Senate. I want to be clear to Senator Josh Hawley, you do not belong in the United States Senate,” Ocasio-Cortez ranted.

“You do not belong in any democratically elected seat when you do not believe that that election was even legitimate, according to your self-serving claims. So get out,” the Democrat superstar pointed out in what could only be seen as a clear contrast to their efforts to delegitimize Donald Trump as US President in the past four years.

“If they had any shred of integrity, any shred of integrity about their claims, their lies really, but their claims about this election, they would take off their pin and turn it in,” she added.

AOC tells GOP lawmakers: You will never be president

“But this isn’t about the truth to them. This is about if they want to be president in 2024. Let me give you a sneak peak. You will never be president. You will never command the respect of this country. Ever. Ever. And you should resign. So should every member of Congress that voted to overturn the results of our election,” she demanded.

Earlier, she also said she wants to “rein in our media” environment.

Ocasio-Cortez responded to a question whether there are “any discussions in Congress about federal truth and reconciliation or media literacy initiatives to help with healing.”

“What I can say is that there’s absolutely a commission that’s being discussed, but it seems to be more investigatory in style rather than truth and reconciliation and so I think that’s an interesting concept for us to explore,”she said.

“And I do think that several members of Congress in some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here and we’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.”

“It’s one thing to have differing opinions but it’s another thing entirely to just say things that are false and so that’s something that we’re looking into,” she continued.
