Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing backlash for hypocritically and obliviously accusing Republicans of engaging in fascism.
She made the accusation Thursday in defense of the veritable insurrectionists in Tennessee.
As previously reported, on March 30th a large band of veritable left-wing insurrectionists invaded the Tennessee Capitol to “protest” for tougher gun laws.
Below are scenes from the veritable insurrection:

Is there an insurrection happening in Tennessee? Will these kids be thrown into a gulag? Will the FBI arrest hundreds of people in a dragnet? Will we have a special committee on this? pic.twitter.com/TYX24M6oJp

The Tennessee insurgents attempted to trap some legislators in bathrooms to prevent their escape from the attack. As a result they clashed with police.

The illegal insurrection at the Tennessee Capitol not only put the lives of Capitol police and legislators at risk it also put the lives of hundreds of student bused in by Democrats for the attack at risk as well.

In response to the veritable insurrection, Tennessee Republicans expelled two of their Democrat colleagues who’d participated in it and also riled up the crowd.
This response prompted massive outrage from the oblivious left, with figures like President Joe Biden, former President Barack Hussein Obama, and of course Ocasio-Cortez all crying foul. However, only one of them went so far as to accuse Republicans of being fascists.
“Republicans may think they won today in Tennessee, but their fascism is only further radicalizing and awakening an earthquake of young people, both in the South and across the nation. If you thought youth organizing was strong, just wait for what’s coming. Gen Z don’t play,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday.

The tweet admittedly acquired over 100,000 likes from her leftist sycophants. However, the tweet also prompted heavy backlash from those who knew better.
“Voting is fascism? I thought you Marxists wanted to lock up any protestors that storm Capitals for life? What gives?” tech entrepreneur Todd Cefaratti tweeted, referencing the Democrats’ relentless prosecution of Jan. 6th participants.
“Are you advocating for violence, Alexandria?” conservative radio show host Kim Klacik added, referencing Ocasio-Cortez’s threat about “what’s coming.”

Do you have any idea what “fascism” means? You do know that it’s a LEFTIST ideology, right? You do know that it depends on big, centralized government, right? You do know that the “far right” actually wants very little government, right? You’re so dishonest. It’s disgusting.

Because demanding the expulsion of a political opponent from a legislative body is only an “assault on democracy” when the wrong side does it.
It’s (D)ifferent when they do it. https://t.co/7LYiHIs09F

The problem is that Democrats have no room to talk. They never do.
Recall that these same people portrayed the violent Black Lives Matter riots as “peaceful protests,” but then turned around and labeled peaceful anti-COVID vaccine protests as “threats to democracy.”
These same Democrats have also acted as if what happened on Jan. 6th — when Trump supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol — is the worst thing to ever occur in America. Worse even than the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks that killed thousands of Americans.
Yet when left-wing extremists invaded the Tennessee Capitol, suddenly the Democrats went into defense mode.
Meanwhile, when left-wing extremists assaulted a women’s rights activist this week, Democrats said nothing.

When violent left-wing extremists successfully hijacked and shut down a pro-life event late last month, Democrats said nothing.
And when left-wing high school students acted “unruly” and assaulted a vice principal during an “anti-racism” protest early last month, the Democrats said nothing.
The hypocrisy is hard to stomach. It’s like there are two standards — one for Democrats, and one for Republicans.
All Republicans did this time is try to hold some veritable insurrectionists accountable, and they’re the fascists?
