In a recent twist of events, a claim suggesting that New York Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) labeled all viewers of Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin as white supremacists has begun circulating on social media. But hold your horses, folks, because this claim is as false as a two-headed unicorn!
Now, before we delve into the details, let’s take a moment to admire AOC’s ability to make outrageous statements. She recently defended President Joe Biden, hailing him as the most successful president in modern American history. Oh boy, Biden must be feeling as proud as a peacock right now!
But getting back to the accusation, the post on Facebook suggests that AOC launched an attack on anyone who dared to watch the Carlson-Putin interview, branding them as white supremacists. The text screams, “This is the kind of Liberal idiocy that our failing country has to deal with. She is in Congress. SHE’s in CONGRESS!” Calm down there, Facebook post, maybe take a deep breath and reconsider your dramatics.
Now, here’s the real kicker: the claim is utterly baseless! No official record of AOC ever making such a statement can be found on her verified social media accounts or the renowned deleted tweet tracker, PolitiTweet. It appears that this whole mess originated from a parody account pretending to be AOC, which clearly stated, “If you watch the Tucker Carlson interview today with Putin – you’re a white supremacist.” Cue the eye-rolls and facepalms.
In the world of conservative politics, we’ve become quite accustomed to encountering misinformation running rampant. The sacred art of fact-checking has been our saving grace time and time again. And remember folks, always fact-check before you hit that share button!
So, let’s set the record straight once and for all – AOC did NOT call all viewers of Tucker Carlson’s Putin interview white supremacists. This was just another attempt to paint conservatives as racists in the hope of discrediting them. Nice try, AOC and your internet trolls, but we’re onto your tricks!
In conclusion, it’s crucial to question the veracity of claims before allowing them to fuel our righteous anger. Misinformation like this only serves to deepen the political divide and hinder rational discourse. Let’s all strive for a higher standard of information integrity, even if that means giving AOC a pass on this outrageous accusation. Stay vigilant, conservative warriors!
