Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appeared to cry on the House floor after the House passed funding for Israel’s Iron Dome.
AOC also changed her vote to “present.” Her office did not explain why she changed it.
I didn’t write about it because the video shows she’s upset, but it’s hard to tell if she’s actually crying.
But The New York Times piece on the vote sounded more like an editorial as writer Catie Edmondson inserted commentary that one can interpret as anti-Semitic.
The Jews and Rabbis made AOC change her vote to present.
The updated piece now says:
“The tableau underscored how wrenching the vote was for even outspoken progressives, who have been caught between their principles and the still powerful pro-Israel voices in their party.”
The NYT edited out the part Edmondson should have never put in the article.
Did the NYT even acknowledge the correction? No. It only noted the final total correction in the article.
Either Edmondson is ignorant to AOC’s views on Israel or..does Edmondson have something she wants to admit? She could have even left it at “influential lobbyists” because we all know they exist. But why on earth would she include rabbis?
Who on this planet would think rabbis and Jews could persuade AOC to do anything, especially something good for Israel?
