On Mondy, while speaking at an event on Martin Luther King Day called “MLK NOW,” socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) falsely claimed that pro-Second Amendment rallygoers in Richmond, Virginia were “flying confederate flags with semi-automatic weapons, and there’s almost no police officers.”
In the same speech, AOC claimed the Democrat Party is not a “left party in the United States. The Democratic Party is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center or a center-conservative party”
By examining footage of the rally, it is hard to find a single token Confederate flag in the crowd, with the exception of one or two, it is by no means what AOC is describing. Also, there were plenty of police officers on the scene, contrary to the freshman representative’s claims.
Despite the thousands of photographs of the event, it appears AOC may have been reading the Qatari state-run media site Al-Jazeera, which cherry-picked, what may have been the only two Confederate flags in the crowd if you can even call them that. One flag shown was a hybrid of the Confederate and American flag. The other was a tiny, possibly 3-inch-tall flag glued to a bright yellow sign, hardly distinguishable by the human eye.
Despite the liberal media claiming “thousands of white supremacists” gathered in Richmond, there is no proof whatsoever of that and actually more proof of the opposite.
People of color could be seen all throughout the crowd to defend their rights, some even holding signs reading things such as “Armed Minorities are Harder to Oppress.”
This latest stunt from AOC shows just how out-of-touch she is with reality, and reveals her hatred for gun-owning Americans of all colors.
AOC would rather see the ” hammer&sickle”. The stars & bars is a symbol of Freedom
