Everything Ocasio-Cortez tweeted was either an outright lie or was misleading as she defended Omar.Nothing that the New York Post or Crenshaw said used "completely out-of-context quotes" from Omar, they quoted her directly.Ocasio-Cortez did not state that Omar was only one out of 213 cosponsors of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act, along with 42 Republican lawmakers.Ocasio-Cortez's claim that Crenshaw refuses to support the bill is also a lie. The bill has not even been voted on in the House and just because Crenshaw is not a cosponsor does not prevent him from voting in favor of the bill when a vote is held on it.Ocasio-Cortez's claim that Omar has "done more for 9/11 families than the GOP" is a blatant lie.Dem Rep.
