AOC Facing SEVERE Backlash From Leftists Over “Indefensible” Vote
9,120Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being criticized by leftists after she voted against an amendment to a defense appropriations bill that would’ve stripped funding from Israel for its iron dome missile defense system. She later put out a response to explain—and justify—her vote, and it did not go well. Unfortunately, Ocasio-Cortez isn’t the only one who voted this way. In this video, we’ll talk about why AOC’s vote was indefensible and react to the criticism she’s receiving.
