AOC firmly believes that “menstruating people” — a category that includes “trans, two-spirit, and non-binary people” — are effectively becoming prisoners of “rape culture” under the Texas heartbeat law.
Rep. @AOC: Texas’ pro-life law perpetuates “rape culture”
"What this is about is controlling women’s bodies, & controlling people who are not cisgender men. This is about making sure that someone like me .. or any menstruating person … cannot make decisions over their own body" pic.twitter.com/ttLc7Ow4PX

Sarah Palin, like many others, was not impressed by AOC’s argument.
Sarah Palin (remember her?) word salads her way through slamming Rep. @AOC (D-NY) and her criticism of Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) abortion law comments:
“She is such a fake feminist … She’s milking the whole female thing, and as a real feminist, I’m embarrassed for her.” pic.twitter.com/EvW9YJ8TQv

Palin’s condemnation of AOC’s remarks was certainly not the most articulate one we’ve run across, but AOC’s response to Palin definitely rates much higher on the cringe scale:
I’m so sorry Sarah Palin is mad at me! In fact, to address this I set up a special hotline just for her https://t.co/FGUWvdqt4T pic.twitter.com/Fcr8cYvEYT

Oh.
This made me spit coffee all over my desk just now. @AOC, I love you. #1800crynow https://t.co/AIOA7eaFIV

Yeah, so are we. But not for the same reason.
Like Sarah Palin, we, too, are embarrassed for AOC. Yeesh.
In fact, we also set up a corresponding website – proceeds go to abortion and reproductive health providers in Texas: https://t.co/16yiomTbyD

For AOC’s sake, we hope her team’s knowledge of URLs is better than her understanding of how phone numbers work in the U.S.
joke's on her, 1-800-cry-now isn't enough digits https://t.co/cSow0bGsbS

To be fair, neither is AOC’s IQ.
LOL!
The North American Numbering plan uses 11 digits for long distance/Toll Free numbers. If you notice, 1-800-CRY-NOW is 1-800-279-669.
She tries to dunk on Palin but doesn't have enough digits for her "Phone Number." 🤣
If you're upset with this tweet, try 1-800-CRY-MORE! https://t.co/jZiGW28ACf

See, now that’s a phone number.
If you're a champion for your district, why are you raising money for Texas and not those on your block, Jenny? https://t.co/zyLpVJUu0i

And AOC is one of the most unserious of them all.
