Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel snapped back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Thursday, after AOC claimed the GOP caucus was made up of ‘white supremacist sympathizers.’
Wednesday, Rep Ocasio-Cortez railed against Republicans on Capitol Hill and openly accused them of sympathizing with white supremacists. She also alleged that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), is bound to QAnon conspiracy theorists.
During an appearance on MSNBC, the Democratic “Squad” member was asked about the “nature” of the GOP caucus that she works alongside, following the deadly riot on January 6.
AOC began by pointing out a “profound difference” between the GOP caucus in the current Congress and the one from the previous Congress.
She said, “But this term, there are legitimate White supremacist sympathizers that sit at the heart and at the core of the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives. And if you see someone like the House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, of the Republican Party respond to White supremacist vitriol coming from his own members, not with censure like they did with Representative Steve King of Iowa, not with, you know, being stripped of committees, not with any consequence.”
