My phone seems to take me to Fox News a lot and that is as problem for me. They seem to focus a lot on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and in fact they seem obsessed with her. Then they seem to like to create controversial issue where they really don’t exist at all.
Last week, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn for saying she said something outrageous about 9/11. He claimed Omar was characterizing the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something.” She was addressing a crowd over discrimination that Moslems go through here in the US
AOC came to Omar’s defense and that immediately causedFoxNews to pull out all the stops:
“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., faced mounting criticism Thursday for feuding with freshman colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, over his response to domestic terrorism.”
They act like people all over the country are up in arms about this, but the reality is that they are focusing on criticism from conservatives only. If anything, the reaction to Omar’s comments prove just how prejudice some Americans are over Moslems. This whole controversy would have never come to light if Omar was not a Moslem and a Democrat.
From Yahoo News:
Beright

Who Dat?Very good point.
She didnt even become a naturalized citizen until the year 2000.
Up until 1998 she was a Somali refugee living in a refugee tent city inNigeria
With that unfortunate background theres no way she can see ANYTHING from an "average American" point of view….

Can you imagine the mainstream media reaction if a white congressman or congress woman described the assasination of MLK as someone did something to some man...?

Or if a non-white person lied and said thousands were dancing in the streets celebrating the Pearl Harbor bombing?

Traitors both to the oath they swore To protect and defend the US Constitution.
It doesn’t take long to see by these comments how prejudice and narrow minded these conservatives, who left these remarks, are. They have written comments that only could apply to a Moslem and there is no respect for Omar at all. These are probably the people that Fox News claims that AOC has “faced mounting criticism.”
Fox then said of AOC:
“That prompted Ocasio-Cortez to defend her Minnesota ally, going after the Texas
“In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US
….That sparked an avalanche of outrage, many pointing to Crenshaw’s service as a Navy SEAL in the war in Afghanistan
Then Fox News provides their own examples of tweets in defense of Crenshaw. For the most part, it seems that Crenshaw was a Navy Seal and fought in Afghanistan Afghanistan
AOC implying @DanCrenshawTX, who served combat tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan
AOC is attacking Dan Crenshaw for not fighting for 9/11 victims
Crenshaw is a decorated war hero, who, as a Navy SEAL, lost his eye fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and earned 2 Bronze Stars (one with Valor), the Purple Heart, and the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor

Crenshaw maybe brave on the battle field, but here at home, in his political niche, he is a big cry baby who is easily offended by non-issues. He needs to get over himself. The right-wing trolls who follow him not only need to get over themselves, but they need to lose their narrow minded prejudices.
