Ted Cruz Grades AOC's History Paper on Who the American Revolution Was Fought Against

As we wrote about earlier, Mehdi Hasan said that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's superpower is convincing Republicans she's dumb and extreme.

AOC is doing a great job of doing that.

One example this week came in the form of the congresswoman from New York rewriting the American Revolution as a communist struggle against billionaires. 

This is just special:

Really?

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has provided a grade for AOC's history paper on the American Revolution, and she doesn't get a passing grade: 

If a 9th grader writes this on her history test, she gets an F.

It was literally a revolution against oppressive GOVERNMENT…the very thing @aoc wants to inflict on all of us.

And the Revolution was financed by American free enterprise…the “billionaires” of that time. https://t.co/S8sg8vwSIP

As usual, a FAILING grade for AOC.

The richest man in America literally spent almost all of his own fortune funding it...

He died broke in debtors prison. https://t.co/ijihY8xKvm

George Washington wasn't exactly poverty stricken at the time either.

She does not, will not, and cannot possibly understand the powerful truth of your words.

AOC as usual falls into that "always wrong but never in doubt" category.
