SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM AOC

 By Howie Katz


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised $1.4million in funding in the third quarter of this year, which political analysts called 'unprecedented' for a first-year representative

AOC has warned the public about false information

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has warned the public: "If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources,"

Good advice!

But less than a week later, Ilhan Omar posted a picture of dead children she claimed were killed by the Israeli bombings of Gaza.

 

The awful image that was reposted by Omar was published by National Geographic and showed the children after a chemical gas attack

The image that was reposted by Ilhan Omar showed children killed 10 years ago after a sarin gas attack by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. Omar claimed they were children in Gaza killed by the Israeli bombings.

She appeared at a press conference outside Capitol Hill alongside other members of the 'Squad' including Representatives Ayanna Pressley (left) and Summer Lee (right)

Omar appeared at a press conference outside Capitol Hill where she accused Israel of committing a war crime alongside other members of the 'Squad' including Representatives Ayanna Pressley (left) and Summer Lee (right) 

 

Actually, the picture Omar posted was not of children killed in Gaza. It was a picture of children killed 10 years ago in Syria after a sarin gas attack by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. 

Omar labeled her false post "Child Genocide in Palestine."

After it became known that the image was actually taken 10 years ago ... guess what ... Omar removed the picture. 

Omar has not apologized or made any comment about posting the false information.

I expect that somebody else gave her the photo and told her the story and rather than doing any sort of fact checking or checking on the image itself she just bought the bullshit and released the story and photo believing them to be the real deal. Then when she found she allowed herself to be used (useful idiot) she just pretended it didn't happen.
