Mike Lee, Chip Roy SLAM AOC for Lie About Cruz in Tweet: ‘Retract’ and ‘Apologize’

Political News

Twitter slapped warning labels on tweets questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election all day long. But if a Democrat congressman falsely accuses a conservative senator of attempted murder, the platform turns a blind eye.

A sitting congressman and senator have called to condemn Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for falsely accusing Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) of attempted murder. Twitter has not taken any action against the tweet or against Ocasio-Cortez.

Cruz tweeted his agreement with Ocasio-Cortez’s call for an investigation into the Robinhood app. But, as is often the case, Ocasio-Cortez went completely off the rails in her response. “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,” she tweeted

Not everyone was just going to let Ocasio-Cortez get away with her wild lie. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said that Ocasio-Cortez’s accusation “is neither acceptable nor excusable. I believe that, as a conference, we should immediately and publicly call on her to retract her statement and apologize. If she refuses to do so — and perhaps even if she doesn’t — I think she should be admonished or censured by the House. This is not acceptable,” in a letter sent around the Senate and obtained by MRC TechWatch.

Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) similarly condemned Ocasio-Cortez’s lie. “It is completely unacceptable behavior for a Member of Congress to make this kind of scurrilous charge against another member in the House or Senate for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding electors as they interpreted the Constitution.  I ask you to call on her to immediately apologize and retract her comments,” said Roy in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “If Representative Ocasio-Cortez does not apologize immediately, we will be forced to find alternative means to condemn this regrettable statement.”

Twitter’s hypocrisy knows no end. The platform banned former President Donald Trump after he called for “peace” amid the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. After Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump were diagnosed with COVID-19 in October, Twitter allowed multiple tweets wishing harm or death upon the couple. The phrase “Hang Mike Pence” also trended on the platform following the suspension of Trump’s account.

Conservatives are under attack. Contact Twitter at (415) 222-9670 and demand that the platform provide clarity on “hate speech”: Today, hate speech means anything liberals don’t like. Silencing those you disagree with is dangerous. If companies can’t tell users clearly what it is, then they shouldn’t try to regulate it. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

  1. Who would want to murder AOC? Oh wait, I forgot about the cows! She wanted to exterminate them all because they caused global warming. Those cows can certainly hold a grudge! They are stealthily too, the only way to know where they are is to put a bell on their neck. Maybe AOC can get a law passed that all cows need to wear a bell. so she is safe! I guess her treatment of people who cause global warming would be extermination too.

  2. When Donald Trump was in office and had no drugs for covert 19 we lost 400,000 people .

    Now JOkE Biden is in office for 9 days we have 436,000 dead 36,000 on his watch so far.

    Trumps 400,000 div by 12 months =33333.33 every 4 weeks or 4,762 per day

    Biden’s 36,000 div by 9 days = 4,000 per day or in 100 days he will pass Trumps count 476,200

    So tell me again how we are going to stop this ?? just saying

  3. What happened to AOC’s accusation a week+ after the Capital incident that she needed security with her because the Conservatives are now threatening her life. She has a history of pushing propaganda to keep there small following under the dems socialist/communist thumb.

  4. These Lefties R no joke…People were laffing at them, up until the time they were being marched off to gulags & concentration camps… ;~(

  5. WHY can’t these people just work, do what they are hired to do? AOC is so enraged about 6 January. Has she forgotten when our legislatures were playing baseball and we’re shot at? Or after the RNC, when Paul Rand and his wife (and others) were attacked leaving? In both cases she never once came out to object, spouting her hate filled words.

  6. AOC, has been taking some kind(s) of drugs, which make her do/say “funny” things. OH, I forgot she is among the “elite” group, or think they are, such as the Left leaning media. Just a thought that seemed to pass thru………..

  7. Her actions demand at LEAST a censure, if not a removal from office. This shows how much bias there is in Twitter’s policies.

  8. With all the things AOC has said about conservatives, she does NOT belong in Congress or any form of government. She thinks she’s special, and she’s NOT. She has absolutely no brains, no logic, will NOT be able to work on both sides to come up with fair decisions, and she needs to go and she can take the rest of the The Squad with her. We can only hope people wake up to the fact that she is worthless. After all, the did NOT want Amazon setting up work in New York thereby killing jobs for her, so-called, constituents. That’s how she pays them back — WAKE UP NEW YORKERS!!!! OCA does NOT care about you except at election time then gives you NOTHING!

  9. AssOfCow is just a drama queen looking for attention.She better start her resume for the bar job.Oops forgot they want to pay 15$ per hr.No openings are available!

  10. She is only trying her ve a t to get recognized. Jumps from one thing to another hoping to get smiles from anyone so she can pat herself on the back and think to move one step up the ladder.. OAC or AOC whoever you are wipe the smile off your face and give up on the soft fake of a voice, and for gosh sakes— give us a break.

  11. a.o.c. is dumber than a 5lb. bag of hair.im glad im not in or from new york and have that idiot as my representative. sometimes i wonder if she goes home at night and practices what dumb statement she can make the next day. i find it hard to believe someone can be that stupid without practice.
