Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for his hollow condemnation of far-right Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, who both spoke at a white nationalist event over the weekend. The New York Democrat tweeted, “McCarthy has been protecting his little KKK Caucus for years with these toothless statements … It’s how he covers for them.” Ocasio-Cortez reminded her followers that McCarthy “passionately defended” Gosar last year when he reposted a violent animated video showing himself killing her and attacking President Biden. “He works to protect them,” AOC added.
