1. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York made a surprise revelation to a progressive Jewish group on the final night of Hannukah on Sunday: She.
2. Ocasio-Cortez is Nuyorican (a person of Puerto Rican-descent, born and raised in New York). In the interview, she talked about her heritage citing: “My identity is the descendant of many different identities. I am the descendant of African slaves. I am the descendant of Indigenous people. I am the descendant of Spanish colonizers.

Move over Elizabeth Warren, there’s a new culturally appropriating sheriff in town. Super dingbat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez waited until the last day of Hanukkah to announce she is of Jewish ancestry. Will have to wait for the DNA test, but if she more than 1/1024th Jewish she will take the BS heritage crown from Warren and start the rumors of 2020 presidential run nobody asked for. Then again, Ocasio-Cortez is very dumb so maybe she found out her great-grandfather was a jewel thief and this is what she interpreted that as.

Ocasio-Cortez is Nuyorican (a person of Puerto Rican-descent, born and raised in New York). In the interview, she talked about her heritage citing: “My identity is the descendant of many different identities. I am the descendant of African slaves. I am the descendant of Indigenous people. I am the descendant of Spanish colonizers.

This is from The Washington Post:

A temple in Queens got a small dose of surprise on Sunday — the final night of Hanukkah — when Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat with a knack for dramatic flourish, told those gathered to light the menorah that her ancestors were Jewish.

“One of the things that we discovered about ourselves is that a very, very long time ago, generations and generations ago, my family consisted of Sephardic Jews,” said Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez said she’s been, “doing a lot of family trees in the last couple of years.”

If her genealogy skills are as refined as her understanding of economics, chances are she’s not Jewish, or Spanish, or Puerto Rican and he name isn’t really Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez explained that she was descended from Jews who fled Spain during the Spanish Inquisition, when “many people were forced to convert on the exterior to Catholicism but on the interior continued to practice their faith.”

“And a strong group of people, strong-willed, that were determined to continue living life as they wanted to live it decided to get on a boat and leave Spain. Some of those people landed in Puerto Rico,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

If her Jewish ancestors were so strong-willed and wanted to continue practicing their faith, why is Ocasio-Cprtez and her entire family Catholic? No, seriously. She says her ancestors feld Spain because the church was trying to convert them to Catholicism and now her whole family is Catholic. What a waste of a boat trip, huh?

The unapologetically liberal WaPo tried to make this seem less like bullshit by dragging Paul Ryan into it:

The discussion of distant Jewish heritage is not an uncommon one. This summer, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), a practicing Catholic, found out that he was 3 percent Ashkenazi Jewish, based on findings from PBS’s “Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr.”

Yeah, but Paul Ryan doesn’t show up at Synagogues in a yarmulke claiming to be Jewish. Hillary Clinton shows up at Baptist churches pretending to be black, which would be a more appropriate comparison to what Ocasio-Cortez did.

Even the Wapo has their limits as to how far they will push a BS liberal story and called out some screaming hypocrisy with Ocasio-Cortez:

…it could still raise notable questions about her position on Israel and other topics dear to some American Jews, including those in her district, which includes sections of the Bronx and Queens.

This is actually quite devious on Ocasio-Cortez’s part. She can avoid any accusations of anti-Semitism by pretending to be Jewish. President Trump should just come out and say he found he’s part Muslim, black, Mexican, and his ancestors come from shithole countries so he can tell the liberals to STFU about his supposed racism.

Here’s what I think happened: Ocasio-Cortez caught an old episode of Welcome Back Kotter and identified with the Sweathog Juan Luis Pedro Felipo de Huevos Epstein who described himself as a “Puerto Rican Jew.” Hell, maybe her parents are Juan Epstein and Rosalie “Hotsy” Totsy, who knows?

Once again, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) won’t let Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) get away with hoodwinking the public.

Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday continued her streak of headline-worthy dunks on Cruz — even after the Trump-target-turned-loyalist unexpectedly found common ground with the New York Democrat over their criticism of stock trading platform Robinhood.

Robinhood had blocked users from buying or trading certain stocks in light of the unexpected and entertaining run on GameStop.

Shortly after Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, decried Robinhood’s decision as “unacceptable” and called for a hearing on the issue, Cruz chimed in by tweeting that he “fully agrees.”

Welp. Cruz once again found himself in familiar territory: getting called out by the social media savvy lawmaker.

I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.

Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.

In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

Ocasio-Cortez still wasn’t having it after Cruz accused the New York Democrat of inciting “partisan anger” in remarks to Capitol Hill reporters on Thursday — a rich assertion given Cruz’s vote to challenge election results just hours after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month. For months leading up to the Capitol riot, Cruz egged on former President Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud.

“You know, there’s a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side,” Cruz said, in response to Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet, before going onto repeat the GOP’s laughable calls for unity. “It’s, it’s not healthy for our country, it’s certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others.”

Ocasio-Cortez refused to let Cruz get away with his attempt at singing kumbaya …

“We need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable. But if you’re mad at that you’re divisive.” – GOP

… which Ocasio-Cortez had done before in tweets posted days after the Capitol riots Trump and his Republican allies, like Cruz, incited.

Your GOP colleague in the House praised Hitler this week. A Confederate flag was hung outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Yet you continue to deny this clear connection in the aftermath of Wednesday’s violence.

You disgrace yourself and your office further every day. Resign.

Ocasio-Cortez even found a way to call out Cruz’s “unity” gambit by pointing out the Texas senator’s campaign fundraising messaging that still pushed for challenging the election results amid the mob of Trump supporters breaching the Capitol.

Your complete refusal to acknowledge any of the above harm, wrongdoing, or even misjudgement; & your lack of any self-reflection in how these acts contributed to yesterday’s chaos is alarming. It is unbecoming of any elected official and makes you unfit for the office you occupy.

There was also that time a week ago when Ocasio-Cortez had to school Cruz — who, let’s be honest, certainly knows better — on the Paris climate accord.

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva?

And reminding Cruz last year that she was qualified to blast then-Vice President Mike Pence for heading up the White House coronavirus task force, citing Pence’s science denial that fed into one of the worst HIV outbreaks during his time serving as Indiana’s governor.

Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.

Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. https://t.co/vOIwJhpl7q
