I could come up with multiple comparisons from the other side.

if people are inspired to protest for Black Lives Matter and then some are rioting and violent, should all of BLM be held accountable? of course not.

If racism didn’t exist and Joe Biden made it up yes I would blame him for resulting race riots.

And he’s hijacked another thread (with the help of those who respond).

Yeah, he is working on it. I'm trying to steer the conversation, but I will delete a load of posts if necessary.

there have been BLM riots after incidents that were justified, where the overall movement didn't fit for what they were doing.

It will be interesting to see how influential Ocasio-Cortez is in affecting Schumer’s priorities as Senate Majority leader. Politico suggests that her general appeal (much less the threat of a 2022 primary challenge) is part of why he appears right now to be promoting a more progressive agenda.

some want AOC to apologize for her wording/rhetoric.

The pressure is growing for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to apologize for her claim that Sen. Ted Cruz "almost had me murdered" by objecting to the Electoral College results.

A letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi obtained by the Washington Examiner shows that 13 House Republicans on Monday joined Texas Rep. Chip Roy in demanding the firebrand New York Democrat apologize to Cruz, a Texas Republican.

"It has come to our attention that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a tweet in which she accused Senator Cruz, in essence, of attempted murder," the letter said. "We believe this is completely unacceptable behavior for a member of Congress to make this kind of scurrilous charge against another member, in the House or Senate, for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding electors as they interpreted the Constitution. We ask you to call on her to immediately apologize and retract her comments."

It continued: "It is our sincere hope that we all stop this heightened rhetoric and move forward to actually do the work the American people sent us here to do."

Ted Cruz wasnt pushing the whole stolen election thing?

If not then AOC shouldn't have brought him up. If so, then wtf, she's just stating a fact.

I have no clue where he stands on the stolen election but thats probably what she was referring to..

I'm still waiting for anyone to provide any information that anyone that wanted to kill AOC was inspired by what Ted Cruz said.

she had the wrong words and should be held accountable for what she said. I thought that is what people wanted.

If he pushed the stolen election story, and the stolen election story is what got people riled up and ready to kill members of congress, then he is responsible for actively creating that false narrative which lead to those real consequences.

Yeah, maybe...but I’m afraid I have to apologize for deflecting this thread off the oh-so-important “Ted Cruz affair”.
