Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is blaming the $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal – reached by a bipartisan negotiation group of 21 United States senators – on a lack of racial diversity.
Instead of mentioning how the Democrats’ proposed $1.9 trillion infrastructure bill was laden with far-Left tax-spending social programs that had nothing to do infrastructure, the New York congresswoman claimed that the deal was only able to be reached by excluding racial minorities and their concerns.
“[The] lack of diversity [amongst Senate infrastructure negotiators] – that’s how you get the GOP on board,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday, according to Fox News.
Her complaint was waged shortly after her Tuesday charge that the position of a Republican minority should not have been allowed in opposition to the Democrats’ “voting rights” bill.
Targeting whiteness
Ocasio-Cortez reached her Twitter followers with a clear image that included photos of a white president, Joe Biden, next to another shot of an all-white group consisting of 10 of the 21 Senate negotiators.
“The diversity of this ‘bipartisan coalition’ pretty perfectly conveys which communities get centered – and which get left behind when leaders prioritize bipartisan deal-making over inclusive lawmaking (which prioritizes delivering the most impact possible for the most people),” AOC’s tweet reads.

The Puerto Rican American charged that the bipartisan infrastructure deal did not go far enough to the Left – and that it should be more “inclusive.”
She went further to accuse the GOP of intentionally stalling Democrats’ campaign to move the nation over to the far-Left while in power.
“Wow, who could have possibly predicted that Senate Republicans were wasting months of a Dem majority’s precious time negotiating in bad faith just to suddenly renege on a bipartisan agreement w/ new, mercurial demands after doing exactly the same w/ the Jan 6th commission,” AOC quipped in another tweet, according to Business Insider.
AOC wants Democrats to take full charge of things because she believes that a radicalized Left agenda represents the will of America.
“This is why a bipartisan pkg alone isn’t acceptable – the exclusion & denial of our communities is what DC bipartisan deals require ” the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist argued in another tweet.” That’s how you get [the] GOP on board – don’t do much/any for the working class & low income, or women, or poc [people of color] communities, or unions, etc. We must do more.”
Ocasio-Cortez then indicated that Democrats negligently stood by as their so-called inclusive agenda on the taxpayers’ dime was minimized.
“That’s why folks can sometimes come across as careless when saying ‘well isn’t something better than nothing?” AOC’s Twitter thread continues. “For many communities, their not having a seat at the table is a precondition for bipartisan deals to work in the 1st place & that’s not only seen as normal, but valued.”
AOC- you don’t speak for me
Just days after receiving backlash for saying “call me radical” when ripping the filibuster once Republicans blocked Democrats’ voting rights bill – which claims that requiring voters to show identification is racist – more outcry was waged against the congresswoman following her latest rant.
“Looking forward to your upcoming Instagram live where you explain why $0 in infrastructure investment is better than $1.25 trillion, actually,” one Twitter commenter wrote.
She was then called out for concentrating on politicians’ race, rather than their ideas.
“You only care about the skin tones involved – it really isn’t important and makes you a racist,” another Twitter user replied. “What matters is the skills, ability and the qualifications of the people involved to do the job. In this case, however, they’re incompetent, as well as not very diverse.”
AOC avoided showing wither the 11 other Senate members not shown in her photos – eight Democrats and three Republicans – were white or minorities.
The fiery Democrat is making it clear that she has zero tolerance for most things white, as she ridiculed Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) for naming his dog Theo – in honor of the former white Republican President Theodore Roosevelt.
Not so fast …
The cost of the still-expensive infrastructure bill will partially be paid through the Biden administration repurposing unemployment insurance funds and by enforcing IRS rules more strictly, but former GOP Senate aide Brian Riedl – who currently serves as a budget expert for the conservative Manhattan Institute – wonders how long Republicans will go along with Biden’s deceptive spending.
“It seems like the momentum in the Republican caucus is to abandon this deal,” Riedl told the Business Insider. “The fact they feel lied to and misled by the president gives them a pretty clear justification for pulling out.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (D-S.C.) was disturbed that Biden had the audacity to essentially try to force two bills through as one.
“[M]ost Republicans could not have known [that Biden would tie the two bills together], Graham told Politico on Friday. “There’s no way. You look like a [expletive] idiot now.”

get this trash out of Washington
Racial minorities like AOC do not understand that when you are invited to the table for solution resolution, you must come bringing more than just an appetite. Guests who eat up all the good food and leave without a thank you or contribution don’t usually get invited back to the party,,,,,unless its the Democrat party.
MORE like they don’t CARE TO bring more, to the table, other than an appetite.
AOC, get a dictionary and learn how to use it—and start with the word “racist”. The important factor in any brainstorming situation is the qualifications and intellect of the people involved. Representation by every race, gender, religion—whatever else—is not necessary nor does it bring any higher level of competence to what is trying to be accomplished. Proof positive—you’re in Congress.
It’s funny about her white comment! When probably 90%
Of the money used is white peoples tax dollars
BUT to her, that’s PROPER. as its “REparations!”
RHEEEE
To Christorpher 84 A former Democrat President, Theodore Roosevelt once said in a Address given At the Knights of Columbus in who n he expressed his disdain for ” A Hyphenated Amdrican, He said, ” There Is o room in this country for ” Hyphenated Americanism, A Hyphenated American is not an American at all. ” And what does Democrat from New York claim herself to be, A Puerto Rican, not a American, but ” A Puerto Rican. Perhaps She would have preferred a Black Caucus member like Maxine Waters on the negotiations Team, yes, I could see how that would have been more to ” Puerto Rican , Not American , Ocasio Cortez…
Anyone who thinks White Supremacy is bad, has not experienced Black Supremacy. Try read White Girl Bleed A Lot. However White Americans, Asians, Hispanics are now experiencing BLM Supremacy in all its gory violence, is a Beginners’ introduction to Black Supremacy 101. It will get much worse if we do not define our too tolerant White Nation, and enforce it as such against all threats. USA is a White and Christian Nation shared by good Christian POC’s. As a Nation, all Americans are self governed to keep USA as a Constitutional Republic under our Christian God, with Freedom and Liberty for All American Citizens, that is, if we can keep it!
CANCEL Obama. The very WORST thing Obama. aka Barry Soetoro did, was usurp the Office of POTUS, two times, to which he was not eligible as a foreign agent ISLAMIC Jihadist infiltrator, and admitted Enemy of our Constitution FOR the USA, and seething with hatred of White AMERICANS.
Nicely put Peabody.
Where AOC is involved, it’s always brainwashing, not brainstorming.
HER brain stormed out on her, decades ago!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, your definition of “inclusiveness and diversity” is excluding people who are Caucasian, thus AOC, just look in the mirror and call yourself a racist.
If the Negotiating Team was 100% black and/or Hispanic, I’m certain she would have no qualms or trepidations whatsoever.
Hell, she’d have probably said “THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD always be!”
To Backpacker: Its unusual to witness such Racial Animosity coming from a Democrat party member because they ‘re ” SoTolerant, Especially of the ” WHITE RACE “
Lack of racial diversity?? I wonder what this Bimbo Bartender thinks about the NBA, NFL or government jobs proportional diversity?
In accordance with the 2020 Census:
African Americans , Blacks compromise 13.4% of the population.
The White, make up 61% of the nation’s total,
with the total White population (including White Hispanics and Latinos) being 77%.
If the NBA followed proportional diversity, out of 10 players only 3 would be allowed to be Black, 7 would have to be White or Hispanic.
White is 61% of the population but pay 80% of the federal income tax.
I doubt she’d EVER SAY anything about that.. Other than “WE need more black players”.
Oh, the facts that you pointed out about the N.B. A., Indicate that your a member of the ” WHITE ,Greedy White Man Race, You, You Racist, You!
can’t stand the truth can you? If it weren’t for the “greedy white man race” paying the bills all you welfare mooches would starve to death. This country need a whole lot more “white supremacists” to get it back on the right road.
If I were some one who was receiving benefits fcom welfare and ha d family and friends who ha d been receiving welfare, Public Housin g, free education, free child care, livin g on welfare for decades, I would be very concerned about th e flood of. P illegal immigrants coming across this countries open borders each and every day because you know that a large number of those illegal immigrants will also be going on to welfare as they are too unskilled to find any work or too old and foremost employ. The welfare System can only support so many people living on welfare and it’s full are already filled so if I were some one that was on welfare I would be contacting my senator and congressman and tell them to see th a America’s open borders were closed.
The goal of the crazy little communist (The Notorious MTG sure got that right) is clearly an apartheid South Africa or Rwanda in reverse, with a black and brown minority prospering at the expense of a helot caucasian majority. These arrangements always end in genocide, and we can see the beginnings of this already. Occasional Cortex is in tight race with Craxy Mazie, Mad Maxine, Sheila Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson and a couple others for dumbest member of congress, so she may not have caught on yet that she is white and the mongols, the mongrels and the mohammedans are going to come for her too eventually. Down with the dictatorship! Biden and racial civil war delenda est!
Only In America could a ” Bar Gender Rise Above Her Humble occupation to become An Democrat party Representative, Only In America….
Not a racist bone in my body. The Gov is working to turn America inside out and the world is laughing and getting paid to do it. Let’s defund the Democrats!
I’ve been calling for the defunding of the DNC for a good 12 years or so…
Well, then… AOC can’t be involved, either, because SHE is a “WHITE Hispanic” (you know, as George Zimmerman was described by the [so-called] “mainstream” media)!
Clearly, SHE is Racist and a “White Supremacism”, and has “White Privilege”!
Clearly she proves how ignorant and stupid you can be to be a democrat or unfortunately be allowed to be involved in any decisions for anyone else. Every time she opens up her worthless trap it proves how racist, ignorant and STUPID she is. I challenge anyone to ask her what are any accomplishments she has done to benefit whites, blacks or Hispanics.
Like Socialist, Bernie Sanders, his Grandiose ideas that he prompts are find on paper, ” Until you run out of other people’s Money . ” Old Marxist/ Communist, Burnie Sanders along with his fellow communists never missed a chance to buy votes for themselves using other people’s money….
AHH, but like with obama, who many called the first black president, WHO WAS WHITE AS WELL (as per his parentage), THEIR WHITE side doesn’t count, when they are dems.. ITS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE conservative it does.
shut up and make me a martini shaken not stirred.
I wouldn’t EVER drink anything she made. Would be too scared that she slipped something into it.
Just when you figure she can’t get any dumber she proves you wrong.
Maybe you should ask the top leaders of your party to give their positions to people of color, after all they’re always complain about whiteness as well? Ask Nancy, chuck etc. etc.
Every time AOC opens her mouth she cements her position as one of the top three most ignorant, self absorbed racists in the country along with Ilhan Omar and Joy Reid. Hypocrisy and delusion is their oxygen. All three are repulsive and toxic.
The White leftists in the Democrat party, especially the males, may one day come to regret the anti-White bigotry they are aggressively promoting with their cultural revolution that has adopted the deceptive motto of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Anyone who is familiar with the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and Mao’s Cultural Revolution understands that these type of major social upheavals spiral out of control and end up victimizing some of the individuals who initially supported the revolution. If this should happen to any of the White Democrats who are promoting Critical Race Theory and other anti-White propaganda in the military, government, education, or business, then they will have received a well-deserved dose of poetic justice.
How long can we afford to act like we don’t know why the Marxist Democrat party is so willing to look the other way when illegal immigrants flood across Americ’s open borders and do thing to stop them. The obvious reason that the Marxist Democrat party doesn’t any attempt to stop the bird of immigrants is that the immigrants will manage to vote for the Marxist democrats that they will gain control of government and the Democrats will remain in power for ever. The Marxist Democrat party realize that presently the middle class are beginning to wake up to the constant why attacks that the Marxist democrats have been making through the countries public educational institutions indoctrinating America’s youth to not have a feeling for the countries Flag or a deep love for their country itself. These not so hidden attacks on our form of government have been going on under a guide of free speech until lately when the Marxists have became more brazen and hold in the feelings of Anti-ism feeling even allowing the destruction of historical Statutes. If America is to ensure as a Republic the Citizens must become more active and no longer ignore the Marxists plot to remake this country into an inmate of communist ran countries in Europe…
AND that’s why MOST if not all of these illegals they’re literally WELCOMING IN, are being bussed into RED STATES.. TO corrupt them and turn them all blue.
Folks, I had to log in to leave this one comment:
AOC is the Democrat perpetual Red-Herring. Whenever they need to distract from something, they send her in.
This is all a distraction from the bill itself, which is 1.2 trillion USD and has nothing to do with “infrastructure”, and everything to do with raising your taxes and giving your money to someone else. She knows this, and knows her role: use race and SJW nonsense to distract from what is really going on.
Any bills Democrats are trying to pass now, seem to only enrich them monetarily, none of them are good for America! Everything the Democrats are doing is endangering America, and if they get their, “Democrats win forever” bill passed, maybe it’s time to start looking for another country to live in…but tragically and sadly, if we lose America, the whole World is lost! I think it’s time to start looking up and looking to our true leader, Jesus Christ!
Haniel.. Everyone has to log in, to leave a comment…
I believe aoc should have been there when they (democrats and republicans) were negotiations as they probably would have had a need for a refreshing drink and who else is more qualified for that than aoc. Maybe she could have made enough tips to send to her “abuela” but then she probably needs more new clothes and a lot of makeup so that leaves “abuela” out.
There isn’t anything this insecure little twit wouldn’t say to get attention! To Leftists like her, everything is about them… they’re hurt, they’re offended, they’re angry, and to them only their opinions matter! What a bunch of evil, egomaniacal narcissists!
For a bill that is really just another big giveaway plan, there can be only one thing to do if you can’t stop it–and that is to make it as small as possible. After all, it’s money we don’t have and can only increase our debt and make our nation more vulnerable to interest rate increases–which are the only tool we have to fight inflation (which happens to be the other common result of excess government spending.) This is a lose – lose proposition. The only unknown is how much we lose and how the resulting debt and inflation gets blamed on Trump by the Democrats running for office next year.
Exactly. WE ARE already close to 30 TRILION IN DEBT.. WE don’t need ANY MORE spending bills, TIL WE REIGN IN THAT DEBT!
” A Trillion here, A Trillion There, And pretty soon, your talking Real Money . “
Remember the days, it used to be “A million here, a million there.. Pretty soon your gonna talk about real money”/
“AOC wants Democrats to take full charge of things because she believes that a radicalized Left agenda represents the will of America.”
More like it represents HER will. I doubt that any of these persons give a rat’s patootie about “the will of America”. If they did they might not have worked so darned hard to avoid serving us in the, oh so recent, election or continue to try and prevent the Truth from seeing the light of day.
After the 2016 election the will of the people was very clear. What did she do for four years? NOTHING…except resist that will to the best of her abilities.
Well look at how they treated the “Will” of the people in CA, RE Gay marriage.. OR here in ohio with medical weed.
FOR FOUR YEARS In CA, they put that to a ballot of the people, and FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS the people’s will said “HELZ no.”
So what did they do? GO TO COURT TO overturn the ‘will of te people’..
They did similar here in ohio, where after THREE years of it being on the ballots to legalize medical weed, AFTER THREE STRAIGHT votes of no, they whined to the legislature “OVERRIDE The voters, sign it into law yourselves”.
SO THE WILL Of the people, only matters “WHEN IT AGREES with the agenda they want.. IF it doesn’t, then they don’t CARE what the will of the people is.
AOC Must think she is Green or Purple or Blue or Red because she and her Stooge Sister’s are the BIGGEST RACIAL RACIST’S and BIGOT’S.
THIS PROVES THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMMUNISTIC IDIOTS IN NEW YORK. If they can actually put an anti-American like this babe, in a position to make “decisions” that regard the United States, this is a very scary proposition. SHE needs to be thrown out ASAP, for the safety of America, and it’ real American citizens.
Pity we have to keep giving the right to vote, to morons like this in NYC..
Create divisiveness. It’s the Marxist/Communist playbook. It’s not really about race.
Please put little Ms. Sandy back in the local barroom. She is useless as a member of Congress.
Why is she still around? She’s a blithering idiot!
