Once again, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) won't let Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) get away with hoodwinking the public.
Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday continued her streak of headline-worthy dunks on Cruz — even after the Trump-target-turned-loyalist unexpectedly found common ground with the New York Democrat over their criticism of stock trading platform Robinhood.

Welp. Cruz once again found himself in familiar territory: getting called out by the social media savvy lawmaker.
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. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

Ocasio-Cortez still wasn't having it after Cruz accused the New York Democrat of inciting 'partisan anger' in remarks to Capitol Hill reporters on Thursday — a rich assertion given Cruz's vote to challenge election results just hours after the deadly insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month. For months leading up to the Capitol riot, Cruz egged on former President Trump's baseless claims of widespread election fraud.
'You know, there's a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side,' Cruz said, in response to Ocasio-Cortez's tweet, before going onto repeat the GOP's laughable calls for unity. 'It's, it's not healthy for our country, it's certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others.'
Ocasio-Cortez refused to let Cruz get away with his attempt at singing kumbaya …

'We need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable. But if you're mad at that you're divisive.' – GOP

… which Ocasio-Cortez had done before in tweets posted days after the Capitol riots Trump and his Republican allies, like Cruz, incited.
Your GOP colleague in the House praised Hitler this week. A Confederate flag was hung outside the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Yet you continue to deny this clear connection in the aftermath of Wednesday's violence.
You disgrace yourself and your office further every day. Resign.

Ocasio-Cortez even found a way to call out Cruz's 'unity' gambit by pointing out the Texas senator's campaign fundraising messaging that still pushed for challenging the election results amid the mob of Trump supporters breaching the Capitol.
Your complete refusal to acknowledge any of the above harm, wrongdoing, or even misjudgement; & your lack of any self-reflection in how these acts contributed to yesterday's chaos is alarming. It is unbecoming of any elected official and makes you unfit for the office you occupy.

There was also that time a week ago when Ocasio-Cortez had to school Cruz — who, let's be honest, certainly knows better — on the Paris climate accord.

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva?
Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States https://t.co/mMf8iDo72G

And reminding Cruz last year that she was qualified to blast then-Vice President Mike Pence for heading up the White House coronavirus task force, citing Pence's science denial that fed into one of the worst HIV outbreaks during his time serving as Indiana's governor.
Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people's intelligence by the lowest income they've had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.
Secondly, I'm surprised you're asking about chromosomes given that you don't even believe in evolution. https://t.co/vOIwJhpl7q
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez 2020 Election

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she and other elected officials 'narrowly escaped death' last week when a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed into the U.S. Capitol, noting that she had additional concerns her own colleagues would put her at risk.
In an Instagram Live video on Tuesday night, the Democrat said she personally had an encounter, the details of which she said she couldn't disclose due to security concerns, 'where I thought I was going to die.'
She said there was 'a sense that something was wrong from the inside' and that she remained fearful even after she was taken to a secure location with other elected officials.
Ocasio-Cortez, who is Hispanic, noted that her fears were heightened because there were white supremacists and other extremists taking part in the mostly white mob.
The second-term representative, whose New York district covers part of Queens and the Bronx, is among the most high-profile elected officials on the political left and a lightning rod for the right and extreme right.
She had strong condemnation for Trump for inciting the riots, as well as members of his administration who have not invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, as well as those who voted to overturn the election results.
Ocasio-Cortez said those who have resigned in the wake of Wednesday were 'cowards.'
'They think that resigning is going to clean that blood of their hands,' she said. 'It is always on them.'
