BANANA REPUBLIC USA: DEMOCRAT OCASIO-CORTEZ BREAKS LAW BY THREATENING DONALD TRUMP JR. WITH RETALIATION OVER SARCASTIC MEME
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
On Friday Donald Trump Jr. mocked dimwitted Socialist Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez on Instagram with a popular meme that is going around social media.
Ocasio-Cortez: Why are you so afraid of a socialist economy?
President Trump: Because Americans want to walk their dogs, not eat them.
Of course, it’s pretty funny because it it true.
In response Ocasio-Cortez threatened to harass and abuse Don Jr. with a subpoena to testify before Congress.
Ocasio-Cortez then doubled-down on her threat!
Ocasio-Cortez later tweeted in response to backlash, “For the GOP crying that this is a ‘threat’ — I don’t have power to subpoena anybody. Congress as a body, GOP included, has the power. No [individual] member can issue a subpoena unless they are a chair (which, as a freshman, I can assure you I will not be). Also must be under purview.”
It appears Ocasio-Cortez broke federal law by threatening a US citizen with retaliation for snarky tweets.
You can’t use the power of the law to get back at people for their Instagram memes, Alexandria!
