Tyrus rips AOC for criticizing affirmative action ruling: 'Ridiculous'

 FOX Nation host Tyrus joins 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss the attacks against the Supreme Court over the decision on affirmative action. 


AOC Is Nothing But a Fool (msn.com)  "In a truly spectacular bit of irony, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ripped the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) for its conservative members, notably Justice Samuel Alito, for accepting what she described as “lavish” luxury trips from Paul Singer.

"This, from a sitting member of Congress, an institution whose members’ campaigns are entirely funded by megadonors, like Paul Singer. 

"In AOC’s case, she infamously accepted a large chunk of change from Leftist billionaire megadonor, Todd Steyer during her 2018 election in which she claimed that she had never accepted anything other than small-ticket donations (and accused her fellow elected leaders of corruption if they dared to accept money from big donors, like Steyer or Singer). 

The problem with AOC is that she effortlessly marries ignorance with hypocrisy in a stunning display of partisan rage. 

 It’s acceptable for her to take campaign donations—and for her colleagues to do so—which will actually impact their governing. But if a conservative justice at some point takes a nice vacation on a donors’ dime, that justice is, like, literally Hitler and their rulings are completely suspect. 

It's Okay When Democrats Do It

What AOC doesn’t note (and what she doesn’t care to know because it’d make her look bad) is that virtually every member of the Supreme Court has taken similar “gifts” from big donors. It isn’t only the conservative members of the court. 

The Liberal ones have accepted the same donations from big donors on their side of the political aisle. In 2018, for example, the late, much venerated Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg (RBG) “took more trips than any other justice” on private interest dime, for a grand total of 14 privately-funded, lavish trips, according to the Office of Government Ethics.
