ICYMI| Let me start by saying that any professor who claims they taught AOC everything she knows, deserves to be fired and possibly neutered as well.
Dave Rubin from The Blaze played a clip from AOC’s interview with Don Lemon and quite frankly, she accused Republicans of everything Democrats are doing.
If one word of truth exited her mouth, I assure you it was quite accidental.
She accused Republicans of trying to ban books, ban speech, and fire professors. But, which party does all three things she mentioned?
AOC said:
“Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States? Why are Republicans trying to ban books in this country? Why are Republicans trying to ban speech? Why are they trying to fire certain professors? Why are they attacking the core roots of history in this country that strays anything beyond what two already know?”
“In fact, you have folks like Kevin McCarthy making statements that sound like he’s never even read Martin Luther King in his life, trying to ban books that actually talk about the history of the civil rights movement and institutional racism of the United States. So, why don’t Republicans want us to learn how to not be racist? Why don’t Republicans want kids to know how to not be racist?”
The so-called books as she calls them are on Critical Race Theory and The 1619 Project, both of which do not fight racism but rather permanently ingrain it into our society. Blacks and whites are taught to hate one another and Martin Luthor King would never have approved of such overt racism. And how can republicans censor Democrats? Democrats own the mainstream media and Big Tech.
Rubin replied to AOC’s charges:
“Everyone knows schools teach about racism. Schools teach about slavery. Schools for the most part give an honest assessment of the history of America. Did any of you not learn about the Civil War? Did you not learn about slavery? Did you not learn about [native] Americans being here before the founding of the United States? Of course, we learn all of these things.”
“I have no doubt though that AOC would like to ban some books. And who are the very people trying to ban books? Whether it’s Abigail Shrier’s book on young girls transitioning to become boys that people keep trying to kick off Amazon … these are the people who want to do all those things. So this is one of those cases where … every single thing AOC said there was a lie, and much more of it is applicable to her and the progressives than anyone on the conservative side.”
