Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is going viral for all the wrong reasons after delivering a crazy, race-baiting speech in Alabama over the weekend.
As Al.com reported, AOC joined several of her left-wing comrades in Montgomery on Saturday to whine about redistricting changes in the South that would eliminate heavily gerrymandered Democratic districts. Most of these are Black-majority seats.
These bold moves could give Republicans an outside shot at keeping the House of Representatives this Fall, despite President Trump’s low approval ratings. Naturally, desperate Democrats are pulling out the race card and stoking fires.
AOC was no exception as she delivered her speech to a boisterous audience behind bulletproof glass. Pay close attention to what she says toward the end.
“It is time for the North to pull up to the South. It is time for New York to pull up to Alabama. It is time for all of us to come to Georgia, to Louisiana, to Tennessee, to Mississippi, and let them know exactly what they have on court with this injustice,” AOC yelled.
“They think they can draw us out of power. They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened, because it is not a coincidence,” she continued. “And our whole country must understand that it was not until voting rights were ratified in this country that we got the Great Society, because when black Americans have the right to vote and that vote is protected, our schools get funded, when voting rights are health care gets expanded, when voting rights are protected, our country moves forward.”
“And Montgomery, that’s what they’re actually afraid of…What they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo.”
Did you catch that? AOC is too dimwitted to understand the difference between “salvo” and “silo.”
Does she want to start a war involving grains like corn, wheat, and soybeans?
WATCH:
Alabama.
Georgia.
Louisiana.
Tennessee.
Your fight is our fight.
If you’re not from these states, it’s time to pull up.
We are bound together. It was 300 congregants at Ebenezer who changed the world in the 1960s. We can make a new world together today. pic.twitter.com/slBxiQuFyr

Unsurprisingly, X users had plenty to say about AOC’s embarrassing gaffe. Many also wondered why she was hiding behind bulletproof glass while delivering her speech.
From beyond a bulletproof cage?
Wow, I guess she does not trust the area…

Why you have to hide behind glass?

AOC is so constitutionally illiterate she’s genuinely scary if she ever gets real power.
Big voting rights speech in Montgomery, Alabama. All the usual drama — “sleeping giants,” “crucibles,” the works.
Then she went for the dramatic close: “Because what they thought was the… pic.twitter.com/lkYtHvtvc4

AOC dropping violent rhetoric from behind popemobile bulletproof glass.
But still too stupid to know the difference between “silo” and “salvo”
Everything is dumb. https://t.co/pFeI3thC8a

The funniest thing about AOC’s silo speech is how little she read the room.
Southerners are fed up. Thousands have moved in, Southerners are being priced out of their own neighborhoods and towns.
But sure, “pull up” with an army of communist New Yorkers in Bama. pic.twitter.com/bCgkBKEYhN

This is so on brand for AOC.
References “awakening the sleeping giant”, with likely no clue that this quote originated with Admiral Yamamoto in WWII.
Then she misstates “opening salvo”’ as “opening silo” – with added emphasis on the word “silo” – probably because she once… https://t.co/r6ImnhVDAw

Hey moron @AOC
A silo is used on farms. Don’t take this as a challenge but can you get any dumber?
The South is where many of the very best people live. They’re warm and generous. They have firm values, cherish the family and have strong faith. They take care of their… https://t.co/nKth6GENxr
