AOC’s Selective Outrage: Silent on Antifa, Loud on Patriots

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves preaching about the “dangers of nationalism” on Twitter. Every time she sends out a tweet about “protecting democracy” from right-wing extremists, her army of woke followers showers her with likes and heart emojis. But when real domestic terrorists from Antifa torch cities, assault cops, and destroy businesses, AOC suddenly turns into a mime.
Critics are calling out her hypocrisy loud and clear. During the 2020 Portland riots—over 100 days of chaos where federal courthouses were attacked, police were beaten, and an Antifa militant murdered a Trump supporter—AOC said absolutely nothing. She didn’t condemn the violence. She didn’t call for peace. She didn’t even blink. Then in 2021, when knife-wielding mobs attacked officers, again—crickets. And when Antifa torched police cars in 2024? Not a peep.
Yet when conservatives hold a peaceful rally, AOC acts like the apocalypse has arrived. One viral post summed it up perfectly: “She’s quick to trash patriots but protects terrorists.” It racked up over 40,000 retweets. Her silence on left-wing violence while preaching nonstop about “far-right extremism” proves she’s not against violence—she’s just against the wrong kind of politics.
Far From Woke verdict: AOC’s terrorism blind spot isn’t about safety—it’s about partisanship. She’s not protecting democracy. She’s protecting her narrative.
