It would be much easier to make a list of things Alexandria Ocasio Cortez knows but in the list of things she is clueless about continues to grow. The dimwit NY Rep. is unaware that there are democrats in the U.S. Senate. Or that these Senate democrats are currently blocking a COIVID-19 relief bill. Even after Republican Senator Ted Cruz informed her of this mistake, she still doesn’t get it. That’s a special kind of stupid right there.
It’s a day ending in “y” so AOC was on Twitter bloviating:
People across the country are going hungry, COVID is set to explode, and Mitch McConnell dismissed the Senate last week.
I don’t know how these people can sleep at night. I really don’t.

It turns out that’s not the actual thing AOC doesn’t know as pointed out by Ted Cruz:
Why is your party filibustering $500 billion in COVID relief?
And Joe Biden is cheering them on. Thinking that blocking relief somehow helps Dems win Georgia. https://t.co/b8PvuUpSa3

Please note that Cruz said “your party,” meaning democrats and not democrats in the House of Representatives. AOC definitely didn’t notice this detail:
The House doesn’t have filibusters, @tedcruz.
We also passed several COVID relief packages to the Senate that not only include >$500 billion, but also prioritize helping real people as opposed to Wall St bailouts the GOP tries to pass off as “relief.”
Nice try though 👍🏽 https://t.co/X4YIdiXh5y

I hope someone else runs Cruz’s Twitter account because it’d be pretty embarrassing if a US Senator didn’t know this.
Almost as embarrassing as when Sen. @JohnCornyn didn’t appear to know that Puerto Ricans don’t get to vote in the Presidential

And speaking of embarrassing, here’s Ted Cruz with a tactical nuclear strike on AOC’s ignorance:
.@AOC seems not to know there are Democrats in the Senate.
Or that Joe Biden (also a Dem) is publicly calling on Senate Dems to continue filibustering COVID relief because he thinks it will help them win Georgia. https://t.co/vy5HG3h2qr

Fact check: 100% true!
There are in fact democrats in the U.S. Senate and they are filibustering the Republican $500 billion COVID-19 relic bill.
Stupid people don’t know they are stupid so they never realize when they’ve been body-slammed in an argument. Here’s AOC trying to save face but face-planting instead:
You know in the House, when we don’t have the votes to pass something, we work on the bill until we pick up the votes to pass it. That includes GOP votes – & yes, GOP have voted for my leg too.
The Senate should try it sometime! People are going hungry as you tweet from vacay. https://t.co/INdMqmx1xr

Obviously AOC has confused her dog humping her leg with Republicans voting for her “leg.” Here’s the GovtTrack report card on AOC’s bipartisanship:
In this era of partisanship, it is important to see Members of Congress working across the aisle. 0 of Ocasio-Cortez’s 10 bills and resolutions had a cosponsor from a different political party than the party Ocasio-Cortez caucused with in 2019.
Since she doesn’t know there are democrats in the Senate, chances are she also has no idea that zero means nothing.
