AOC slams ‘Ku Klux Klan caucus’ within House GOP

AOC attacked Republicans in the House like Lauren Boebert, calling them part of the ‘Ku Klux Klan’ caucus.

She said “People truly don’t understand the scale, intensity, & volume of threats targeting Ilhan Omar. Kevin McCarthy is so desperate to be speaker that he is working with his Ku Klux Klan caucus to look aside & allow violent targeting of woc members of Congress. This cannot be ignored.”

So it’s not ok for Boebert to make bad jokes about Ilhan Omar and her ‘Jihad Squad’, but it’s OK for AOC to refer to Republicans as the ‘Ku Klux Klan’ caucus??

Double standards galore.

Also, I would expect that Ilhan Omar gets death threats all the time because she’s an anti-Semitic Muslim who supports radical policies like getting rid of police. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if she gets these death threats every week and she just chose one to use to blame on Boebert so she could make more political hay out of this.

I have absolutely no trust that Omar is acting in any good faith here. In fact I’m sure it’s the opposite.
