Fellow Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar [as well as Democrats Al Green of Texas, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania and Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky - PL] had supported Taylor Greene’s amendment, which eventually lost in a 422-6 vote.
In a post on X on Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez claimed that Greene’s amendment did “nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza”.
You’re such a coward.
Couldn’t answer the very simple question of how restricting funding to Israel is endorsing a genocide or justifying murder.
I was entirely right in my prediction of your response in my last comment. This is an excellent example of a red herring fallacy and a great way to try and avoid answering the above question.
This yours? 🙄
I never said it did. There’s your answer.
Like I said, you missed literally the only point I was making. And you’re not interested in changing that.
Keep being angry at nothing.
Would you mind reading the username there?
Wow. Eptiome of honor here. I bow to your “holy” presence.
Definitely not a cowardly intellectually dishonest sophist.
Do you think all consequences of aggressors are justified?
Still not an answer to the question. One that you posed.
I see you’re dodging your own quotation.
Who cares how much support there is for a genocide? why even bring that up? I’m 100% sure you won’t answer this either.
I think imposing any consequences on the aggressors of a genocide would be a good start.
I care. I don’t want any support for genocide. Because then you get genocide.
Do you think all consequences for the aggressor are justified?
