As Twitchy told you earlier, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leapt to Ilhan Omar’s defense over the latter’s despicable remarks about the 9/11 terrorists. AOC seemed particularly upset with Dan Crenshaw, who had fought back after Omar accused him of “dangerous incitement.”
You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes.
In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that? https://t.co/rkb92IxkKX

Yeah, why doesn’t Crenshaw get off his butt and “go do something about” terrorism?
"Why don't you go do something about terrorism?" AOC asked Dan Crenshaw. https://t.co/VBG2kAjB8n

Rep. Crenshaw is a Navy SEAL who:
• Served in Afghanistan
• Lost his eye in an IED attack
• Was awarded two Bronze Stars and a Purple HeartIn short, he's a hero.
And here's AOC tone-deafly asking what he's done to fight terrorism. https://t.co/vkkLn3vDxN

AOC is attacking Dan Crenshaw for not fighting for 9/11 victims

Dan Crenshaw fought in Afghanistan after 9/11, leaving blood — and an eye — on the battlefield, and here @AOC is lecturing him about not caring about 9/11 b/c he isn’t cosponsoring a spending bill. https://t.co/QzvIRXcExZ

AOC implying @DanCrenshawTX, who served combat tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan (where he lost an EYE) in the wake of 9/11, hasn’t done enough for the victims of September 11 terrorist attack is astounding, though not shocking. pic.twitter.com/iWAn1v4FiJ

Speaking of “not shocking,” you probably won’t be shocked to learn that AOC’s dishonest swipe at Crenshaw actually gets worse:
This is Linda. She stopped by my office yesterday and reminded me that we had met years ago.
In 2012, she was serving in Afghanistan as a nurse. I learned she was part of the incredible medical team who treated me after an IED blast ripped through my body and nearly blinded me. pic.twitter.com/RAHsICKZHZ

I’m so grateful for her and her team every day. They made my recovery possible. So glad she decided to stop by while in DC!

Did AOC own him or what?
Pretty bold for AOC to say Omar has done more on 9/11 than anyone in the GOP when Crenshaw posted this less than 24 hours ago: pic.twitter.com/TLR2MUMeCe

Pretty damn stunning and brave.
