AOC Claims to be Target of Death Threats; Blames “Right Wing” Media

Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says there are people out there who want to kill her.

AOC, as she is commonly called in the media, said in an interview with the New York Daily News that she has been the target of death threats, which she says come as a result of “right-wing” news coverage.

The recently minted congress member said in the interview that she receives calls at her office “every day” from people who say they would like to see her dead.

“It’s very clear that when right-wing media starts to heat up, that’s directly correlated to the amount of violent targeted threats we get,” said Ocasio-Cortez in the interview. “There’s clearly a correlation between the intensity of Fox News and Breitbart and all those folks and the amount of threats that we get. It’s a pretty regular thing, so we just have to be super vigilant.”

Of course, she could be wrong, and it would be far from the first time. In fact, AOC has a history of running her mouth and saying brailess things. For example, she recently tweeted: “$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions ‘could not be traced, documented, or explained.’ $21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T. That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon. And that’s before our premiums.”

In fact, as some pointed out, she was off by roughly $21 trillion.

Other gaffes from the freshman congresswoman have included saying that “the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.” She suggested that “just last year we gave the military a $700 billion dollar budget increase, which they didn’t even ask for” — clearly not knowing that the whole Pentagon budget totals $716 billion. She also said, wrongly, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “is required to fill 34,000 beds with detainees every single night and that number has only been increasing since 2009.” In fact, ICE is required only to have that number of beds available, and the number has remained flat.

AOC also told the media that “unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs,” which is blatantly ridiculous. There are only six or seven million Americans have two jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Other concerns are, however, real. This week, the Daily Caller reported that Ocasio-Cortez might wind up in prison because she withheld information from the Federal Election Commission about her role vis-à-vis a left-wing advocacy group.
