Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not at all happy that Dem Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is a “no” on the “Build Back Better” bill. During AOC’s interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” her rant about Sen. Manchin contained this claim:
Rep. @AOC (D-NY) on Sen. Manchin's no on BBB Act:
“The idea that Joe Manchin says he can’t explain this back home to his people is a farce … I represent just as many or more people than Joe Manchin does.” pic.twitter.com/F9W1Ex8epU— The Recount (@therecount) December 20, 2021
As it turns out, AOC was just a little off (we’re sure you’re totally surprised):
AOC said she thought her district had as many residents as West Virginia, on “Morning Joe” today.

You mean AOC was spreading incorrect information again? Color us shocked!
Plus or minus one million.

Oddly enough no one ever complains that Bernie Sanders is elected in a state with roughly the same population as Staten Island

The Dems would rather not use that one as an example.
You didn't exactly expect @AOC to be informed about anything, did you? https://t.co/8GkGTiyxNH

Um, she represents about a third of the number of people @Sen_JoeManchin represents, as if that bogus point meant anything anyway.

Perhaps she meant to say “Biden voters”? https://t.co/m9RrT3zBQO

More AOC math: 49 > 51 🤔

Thank god I never learned this new math where 600k > 1800k. 🤷♂️

Is AOC using the same math technique that makes spending a few trillion dollars cost “zero” dollars?
