AOC literally voted against the bill. She literally voted against funding Israel. She literally said she opposes genocide and has called Israel out for it.
The criticism AOC is getting is about the amendement, not the bill. Nobody is criticizing her for the bill. AOC is making a bad faith strawman when talking about the bill.
No, people criticizing her over the amendment and falsely claiming she voted for funding Israel’s genocide are making a bad faith argument. Voting for or against the amendment was meaningless. It was never going to pass. It was introduced by MTG as a stunt. Not going along with a stunt by a crazy racist conspiracy theorist is nowhere near the same as supporting genocide or funding it.
The bill is what matters. Ignoring the greater context is acting in bad faith. Ignoring the effective result is acting in bad faith. And pounding this issue only helps get people to not vote for the more left-leaning candidates. It’s a really weird fight for anyone claiming to be a progressive.
This strawman wouldn’t even make sense if AOCIA didn’t already debunk it herself. She explicitly wants to spend American taxpayer money for Israeli weapons
“Have you stopped hitting your wife yet?”
What is more likely, that MTG actually wanted to stop the genocide, or that she wrote a bill designed to cause chaos?
MTG knew it was politically popular to oppose Israel. AOC would rather lose voters than oppose Israel.
AOC literally voted against the bill. She literally voted against funding Israel. She literally said she opposes genocide and has called Israel out for it.
Again, that’s the amendment, not the bill. The bill funded Israel. AOC voted against the bill. AOC voted against funding Israel.

It’s really weird that you keep posting screenshots that debunk your own arguments.
