In fact, what might have been his best smackdown of AOC happened back in April of 2022. Then, AOC began the fight when she decided to post about billionaires, poverty, and what she sees the end goals of the American far-left as being.<\/p>\n
In the tweet, AOC posted about billionaires and the left, particularly the left\u2019s priorities, saying, \u201cBillionaires be like \u201cthe extreme far left is taking over\u201d when the \u201cextreme far left\u201d in the US is \u201cmedicine shouldn\u2019t bankrupt you,\u201d \u201cwages should cover rent,\u201d & \u201cmaybe it\u2019s bad that Wall St companies profit off mass surveillance, manufactured housing crises, and caging people.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing, AOC then implied billionaires shouldn\u2019t have much political power because of their relatively low numbers, saying, \u201cThe number of billionaires in the US couldn\u2019t even fill an apartment building, but the number of people they negatively impact is only growing. All the US billionaire votes combined couldn\u2019t even come in 2nd for an NY city council election. That\u2019s why they stay pressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Predictably, AOC\u2019s ridiculous tweet drew insane responses from people who called for everything from confiscating the wealth of billionaires to executing the rich like happened during the French Revolution. One of those responses, for example, said, \u201cI suppose my idea will never pass Congress, which has been bought and sold, but I say we cap individuals at $1 billion and don\u2019t let them start corporations to hold the rest. And if they don\u2019t like it, c.f. 1789 France. Nobody needs or truly earns that much money.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
