Ana Kasparian Accuses AOC of Using ‘Trump-Like Responses’ to Media Challengers. Young Turks co-host Ana Kasparian blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over her voting record and her “Trump-like attacks” on media challengers.
In a video this week for Young Turks, Kasparian responded to a tense exchange she and Ocasio-Cortez shared on X. Kasparian argued Ocasio-Cortez appears to have taken a page or two out of President Donald Trump’s political playbook, based on the lawmaker’s response to a shot on social media from Kasparian.
“She demonstrated that she does have some Trump-like responses to members of the media who dare challenge her,” Kasparian said when referring to her exchange with Ocasio-Cortez.
The exchange began with Ocasio-Cortez condemning the recent assassination plot against pro-Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani, which was stopped by the NYPD and FBI.
“You should vote to send Israel more money for weapons!” Kasparian replied, adding a winky face emoji. “I never have. Feel free to continue lying publicly, though. Those checks don’t cash themselves and you aren’t talented enough to be relevant with the truth,” Ocasio-Cortez shot back.
In her Young Turks video, Kasparian accused Ocasio-Cortez of being inconsistent on her past pledges about what she would and would not support in regards to Israel.
Kasparian brought up a 2021 House vote for funding for Israel’s Iron Dome, accusing Ocasio-Cortez of changing her vote from no to present simply out of pressure from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
“It shows you that pressuring your elected lawmakers works because this isn’t Disney Land and we’re not in the Mickey Mouse club,” Kasparian said.
She watched footage of Ocasio-Cortez from that House vote and described her as “visibly upset.”
