Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a surprise appearance in a Memorial Day tribute video at the Washington Nationals’ AAA affiliate Fresno Grizzlies game on Monday where her image was shown on the screen with fellow socialists, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong Un:
I was just watching a really moving #MemorialDay tribute video at the @FresnoGrizzlies game until they got to a part about America’s adversaries and showed a photo of the @AOC between images of Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-un. That was some seriously offensive editing.

LOL. Here’s the clip. Fast-forward to the 3:03 mark to see the montage including AOC while Ronald Reagan says in the voiceover, “As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people”
Here’s the #video shown by the @FresnoGrizzlies tonight, found on @YouTube: https://t.co/LioDjXNya0

And the Grizzlies have apologized for the error:

We're embarrassed we allowed this video to play without seeing it in its entirety first. We unconditionally apologize to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) in addition to our fans, community and those we hurt. It was a mistake and we will ensure that nothing like it ever happens again.
