Apparently, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Latinos are black.
Don’t make that face, we didn’t say it.
Watch this:
.@AOC: “Latinos are black … We have to have conversations around ‘colorism,’ and we have to have conversations around the African and indigenous roots from which we come and how that’s reflected in systems of power.” pic.twitter.com/ki1lDDNhKS

Yeah, pretty sure that’s not accurate, AOC. Just sayin’.
You can tell she had a few talking points she needed to get out there (ones someone else likely wrote for her) but then she went off-script … yikes.
LATINOS ENSLAVED AFRICANS.
In fact the slaves sent to South America were treated so badly they had to be constantly replaced because so many died there. She is such an idiot. It's astounding someone so ignorant of history and government is a member of a federal legislating body.— Someone Had to Say It (@MomAgnstSafeSpc) June 22, 2020
But she has a degree in Economics and stuff, man.
That's news to George Zimmerman.

So Zimmerman vs Trayvon Martin was black on black violence all these while & I’m just finding out?

Imagine someone like @marcorubio saying this… would be CNN breaking news for a week

If Marco Rubio said Latinos are black the Left would lose what’s left of their minds.
How about southern Italians and Spanish then?

Unless you’re Latino then you are?
Or no?
You know what, we don’t know.
