Conservatives Believe They Discovered An Unhinged AOC Burner Twitter Account

Questions are being asked over the discovery of a Twitter account apparently belonging to Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, on which she wished death on a conservative journalist and used vile and threatening language against others.

It appears that AOC outed herself as one ‘Zaza Demon’ on the account in response to another Twitter user who commented on a video of the Rep. being confronted by Libs Of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik. 

This is how that went:

Libs Of TikTok Confronts AOC For Violating Committee Ethics Rules – Her Response Is Predictable

AOC zaza demon responded in the first person to the video, writing “Lol and what makes you think that i did anything to support nazis? You’re delusional. Seek help,” before then quickly deleting the response.

After that, scores of other tweets from the account began to disappear, before the entire account was nuked.

AOC Thinks Gas Stoves Cause Brain Damage — But She Still Uses One

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D., N.Y.) belief that exposure to gas stoves “is linked to reduced cognitive performance” hasn’t stopped her from using one regularly in her home.

Multiple videos and images recorded in the New York Democrat’s kitchen and posted to social media show that she has a standard gas range in her apartment.

In one video posted to Instagram, Ocasio-Cortez can be seen bending over to dunk her face in a bowl of ice water with a gas stove clearly visible behind her.

Ocasio-Cortez immediately endorsed the idea of doing away with gas stoves after a Consumer Safety Commissioner told Bloomberg News that a ban on the appliance was on the table due to its alleged health effects.

‘Squad’ Members Urge Biden to Extend Marijuana Pardons to Illegal Aliens, Allow Deported People to Come Back

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Jesús G. “Chuy” García have sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to include illegal aliens in his marijuana pardons.

The far-left lawmakers also called on Biden to “prioritize decriminalizing and rescheduling marijuana and reopening the immigration cases of those who were deported for marijuana-related offenses.”

“We write to commend you on your administration’s decision to pardon thousands of people convicted of marijuana possession under federal law and to review how marijuana is classified in the United States,” the letter began. “The decision is an essential step for our country’s promise of justice for all. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the Administration pardon all simple marijuana possession offenses – regardless of immigration status.”

The lawmakers continued, “Using the power of the pardon is a constitutional imperative and a critical tool in rectifying the compounding racial injustices of draconian drug policies.”

AOC goes NIMBY, says there’s a better solution than housing migrants in her district

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., who has moved to the radical end of her progressive agenda multiple times since she was elected to Congress, apparently has been struck with a serious case of NIMBYism.

That stands for “Not In My Backyard,” a sentiment that is attributed to those who definitely do not want various responses to social problems close to them.

In this case, it’s a tent city for migrants.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been working to deal with an influx of some 10,000 migrants who ended up in the city after crossing into the United States illegally from Mexico.

The pending proposal involves building a tent city in the district that elected Ocasio Cortez to house about 1,000.

Adams spokesman Fabien Levy defended plans for the tent city.

“No location is perfect, but we are confident in this decision. And we’re glad that so many local elected officials recognize we’re in an emergency and are willing to work with us towards a successful rollout,” Levy said.

In a report in the New York Daily News, Ocasio Cortez ripped the mayor’s ideas.

“I think we can get to a place with a better solution here,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC Claims ‘Inside’ Government Actors Helped January 6 Protesters, Building Is Still Unsafe

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Wednesday evening that U.S. Capitol Police officers or other actors working inside the Capitol building assisted protesters during the January 6 riot as they breached the facility in an effort to stop the certification of the Electoral College vote.

The congresswoman also said that, because the issue is unresolved, she has “never felt safe” at the Capitol. Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks came just hours after a comedian crudely trolled her while she was entering the building.

In a video posted by Pablo Manríquez, a correspondent for Latino Rebels, AOC is heard sounding off to the camera, “…And that there were actual officers working with this? And we never got to the bottom of that, and we never got any answers about that? And to this day, we’re just supposed to pretend that that never happened? I have no idea what happened to the people on the inside, who were very clearly sympathetic with what was going on and opening doors wide open for that, and I’m supposed to sit here and pretend like none of that ever happened?”

AOC Hit With Fines and Warrants for Dodging Taxes

Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 14th C.D., often talks the talk about taxing the rich but she seems unwilling to walk the walk personally.

According to a 2019 financial disclosure report Ocasio-Cortez filed with the House of Representatives, she declared herself founder of Brook Avenue Press. Her Bronx, N.Y., company, designed to publish books about NYC children, fell behind in paying NYS corporation tax.

The state’s Taxation and Finance Department dissolved her company, issuing a Proclamation of Dissolution on October 26, 2016. Involuntary dissolution is invoked by tax authorities on corporations that fail to pay taxes for two consecutive years. NYS tax authorities explain that involuntarily dissolved companies are still required to file returns and pay taxes owed until they comply with state tax law.

Brook Avenue Press was slapped with a $1,618 tax warrant by the state tax department on July 6, 2017. That was approximately two months after the former bartender announced her candidacy to oppose then-incumbent Joe Crowley, according to the New York Post report. The 14th congressional district represents constituents in parts of two city boroughs: Queens and The Bronx.

The unpaid tax obligation of the New York congresswoman has swollen to $2,471.68 from interest and fees applied by the state. An email request to the representative requesting comment was not immediately returned.

AOC claims to be re-traumatized by Jan 6 riot footage despite the fact she wasn’t there

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t in the Capitol building at the time it was breached by protestors and rioters on January 6, 2021. She was in the Cannon House Office Building, in her office.

Yet as her House colleagues perform the Select Committee Hearings on the events of that day, AOC has claimed to be re-traumatized by the recounts of the day, and has shared her feelings about being made to remember what it was like to hide out in her office and be far from the action.

“Good Lord,” AOC wrote on Twitter. “The way it all comes rushing back into the body. It’s like that day all over again.” She shared a jumbled video, a recording made using a cell phone to record video shown on a television screen, showing unarmed protestors outside the Capitol facing Capitol Police in riot gear. It cuts to footage of lawmakers and staff evacuating Congress through Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s office.

During the breach of the Capitol, AOC was in her office in an adjoining office building. Capitol police, who serve and protect the Capitol, came to check on her and make sure she was okay. In recounting her experience of that day, she said she felt scared of the officer, and later revealed that she had been the victim of a sexual assault in her past, and this is why she was scared, because she was reliving a previous trauma.

At the time, she likened her experience of being nowhere near the breach to that of veterans who had fought in a war, prompting #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett to trend on Twitter, linking her to another famous hoaxter.

AOC’s attempt to explain away crime is really an attack on parents

No argument – however insulting or illogical – deters some Democrats from promoting more welfare benefits.

Take Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a vocal promoter of defunding and even abolishing the police. Long dismissive of rising crime rates and the culpability of policies she supports, she finally admitted that crime is surging. But instead of acknowledging the real causes of the crime wave, she blamed a novel culprit: “the child-tax credit just ran out, on December 31st, and now people are stealing baby formula.”

The increased child tax credit included in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan expanded the benefit to include over 30 million households. For the first time, the policy also paid benefits to nonworking adults. As a result, the IRS turned into America’s leading welfare-benefit provider and effectively revived unconditional monthly federal welfare payments for the first time in a generation.

The Democrats’ trillion-dollar Build Back Better plan would have continued these monthly payments, despite public opposition to making them permanent. But the legislation collapsed, leaving AOC to argue that the expiration of these temporary welfare checks is the real driver behind rising crime in America.
