'You almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago': Sorry, Ted Cruz, but it doesn't sound like AOC wants to work with you after all

Remember that time a few minutes ago when Ted Cruz agreed with AOC about Robinhood’s stock shenanigans?

Fully agree. ? https://t.co/rW38zfLYGh

Yeah, well, put the guitars away, because “Kumbaya” is apparently over:

I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.

Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.

In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

While you conveniently talk about “moving on,” a second Capitol police officer lost their life yesterday in the still-raging aftermath of the attacks you had a role in.

This isn’t a joke. We need accountability, and that includes a new Senator from Texas.https://t.co/IQ69aZIt3v

You haven’t even apologized for the serious physical + mental harm you contributed to from Capitol Police & custodial workers to your own fellow members of Congress.

In the meantime, you can get off my timeline & stop clout-chasing. Thanks.

Happy to work with other GOP on this.

Annnnd that’s why Republicans shouldn’t get too excited when AOC says something they like.

ohhhhh man https://t.co/Dy9ObBCu6y

AOC disabusing Republicans of any notion she’ll work across the aisle.

This is why AOC will never be a powerful figure.

She refuses to work with anyone to get anything done. https://t.co/UR9BqFYPbO

AOC gonna AOC.

She's always gotta take it one step too far and thus lose any credibility. Ted Cruz did not almost have you murdered, AOC. JFC. https://t.co/myDZatKBqw

so what you're saying is you actually aren't interested in doing anything but complaining on twitter https://t.co/mv41Zm1pn2

Correct.

Here’s a fun little thought exercise:

Imagine if Steve Scalise had tweeted this at Bernie Sanders. Democrats would have lost their marbles. https://t.co/t7pVAQyJop

— Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) January 28, 2021

Without a doubt. But we’ll never know for sure, as Steve Scalise didn’t do that.

Remember when Steve Scalise was shot by a Bernie bro and never pulled this shit? https://t.co/TRAbOdvqwG
