Ted Cruz dared agree with AOC today on a tweet referring to what’s happening with Gamestop and other stocks, and she accuses him of trying to have her murdered or something. But first, here’s the quick backstory.
Since yesterday, when we explained how the peasants on Reddit figured out how to game the system and cause major Wall Street hedge fund firms to lose big money, the company controlling the buying and selling of these stocks have stopped allowing them to be purchased:
Robinhood has stopped allowing users to buy GameStop, AMC, BlackBerry, and Nokia stock. https://t.co/AORntdA7JV

More than half of all Robinhood users own at least some GameStop stock.
They are now unable to freely trade it; the app is only allowing users to close out their positions. https://t.co/DgN1H496wx

In other words they are trying to rig the game.
AOC responded to the report calling for a hearing on Robinhood’s decision to block these specific stock purchases while still allowing the big hedge funds to freely trade the stock. And Ted Cruz agreed with her:
Fully agree. 👇 https://t.co/rW38zfLYGh

That’s when AOC attacked Cruz and accused him of trying to have her murdered:
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

That’s completely unhinged and false. All Ted Cruz did was what other Democrats have done in the past, which was to object to the results of the electoral votes from states which illegally changed their laws to enable tons of voter fraud. Yet because there happened to be a riot, loathsome Democrats like AOC are now lying and smearing their Republican colleagues like Ted Cruz for inciting it.
And just for the record, there was NEVER any proof of a plot to murder anyone at the Capitol. Those were rumors dispelled by the DOJ. Everything in AOC’s tweet to Cruz is completely false.
