Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made it clear that she doesn’t need a co-sign from her Republican colleague Sen. Ted Cruz, and that Cruz isn’t off the hook for the role she believes he played in the Capitol insurrection.
Ocasio-Cortez was
tweeting her displeasure about Robinhood, the stock trading app which earlier this week prevented its users from purchasing stocks in GameStop, AMC and Nokia after the stocks were driven to record levels based on recommendations on Reddit’s WallStreetBets board.The move drew ire from politicians on both sides of the aisle. But in jumping into the fray, Cruz inadvertently put himself in the path of AOC’s social media fire.
After Ocasio-Cortez posted on Twitter that the company should be probed for those actions,
Cruz responded with a simple Tweet: “Fully Agree.” That response unleashed a barrage from Ocasio-Cortez as she responded to Cruz, “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.”The Tweets listed below detail the anger Ocasio-Cortez has for Cruz and his part in the Pro-Trump riot that took place on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol.
