“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”

    I wouldn’t recommend putting yourself through it, but if you watch Johnson’s speech, every Republican looks positively giddy about killing grandma. CSPAN did us dirty by not zooming out to show their faces as they rubber stamp the American Nazi Enabling and killing the poor act that rendered their jobs useless.

    There is hemming and hawing to the public, but make no mistakes, they’re proud of themselves and think nothing bad will happen to them. So far they’re right.
