But "Genocide Joe" Biden is. https://apnews.com/article/aoc-endorses-biden-2024-president-democrats-3c722f5ac1bc2c568b6d962d4fe4e2b7

Saying "Jewish Space Lasers" is worse than committing genocide in your book?

    “I think he’s done quite well, given the limitations that we have,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the “Pod Save America” podcast Thursday. “I do think that there are ebbs and flows.”

    First, endorsing the party incumbent who's the only one making a serious bid for the job is pretty well a given. Second, that doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement even as it is. At least with Biden he made some effort to say cut it out rather than Trump telling the to finish the job so he can build a casino strip and starting several more wars around them.

    She does not have to endorse MTG to work with MTG. She could have also ran opposition to Biden hijacking another election which was doomed to fail but decided to support him instead.

    Moreover as the video says she worked with Ted Cruz before to sanction China. Either Ted Cruz is somehow better than MTG, or China is worse than Israel.

    Of course neither are true. AOC has been very open to ally with dubious figures in the past. But for Israel she suddenly finds the standards she previously abandoned?
