Dimwit Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a fool of herself yesterday, which doesn’t actually qualify as news. What does make it interesting is that she accused a gun manufacturer of using “racist iconography” in their advertising. In reality, it wasn’t a racist symbol or even something that the gun maker used in an ad. Way to go, AOC.
During a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday, AOC was grilling Daniel Defense CEO Marty Daniel:
AOC pulled up a picture that she said was from Daniel Defense’s advertising, pointing out a tattoo on the arm of a shooter:
It’s literally impossible to tell what that is but supposedly it is a Volknot:
The ADL says that some white supremacists have coopted the Volknot but then again they also say the “OK” hand gesture is a symbol of white supremacy. The reality is, the Volknot is a Norse symbol associated with Odin and has absolutely no racist meaning.
To drive home the point that this “racist” symbol is associated with white supremacy, AOC then flashed a shot of the QAnon Shaman (AKA the Buffalo Guy) from the January 6 “insurrection” showing he too had a Volknot tattoo:
The Buffalo guy is an Antifa and Black Lives Matter activist, not a white supremacist. If anything, this proves that leftist kooks have coopted the Volknot.
After AOC showed the picture of the man with the Volknot tattoo firing a gun, AOC asked Marty Daniel if he knew wha that symbol was.
“Congresswoman, I’m not sure this is our ad. Can you show the whole ad? Is this our ad or someone else’s?” Daniel asked.
The reason why Marty Daniel didn’t recognize this as a Daniel Defense ad is because it isn’t one. This picture does not appear anywhere on the Daniel Defense website. I did a reverse image search on Google and it could not be found anywhere. The only search results were related to the 1993 movie “Sniper.” Is that a still from the film? Nobody knows, but it’s definitely not from any Daniel Defense advertising.
Proving how full of shit she is, AOC would ask a question and then not allow an answer:
“Mr. Daniel, yes er new are no, are you aware that your advertising department uses imagery affiliated with white supremacist movements in its marketing materials?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.
“No ma’am, I don’t think…,” started Daniel.
“OK, reclaiming my time,” interested Ocasio-Cortez.
And:
“Mr. Daniel, once again as the CEO of Daniel defense, yes or no, do you believe that members of identified extremist hate groups such as the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers should be able to purchase the AR-15-style rifles that your company sells?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.
As Marty Daniel began to answer, AOC once again interrupted saying, “Thank you, I apologize, I just have a limited amount of time.”
She also has a limited amount of intelligence.
This was a pattern she would repeat several times, asking a question and then refusing to let it be answered.
AOC was trying so hard to find “racist iconography” in gun maker’s ads but failed like she does with everything. The good news is, I helped her find some racist imagery that she can hold a hearing about:
“Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, yes er new are no, are you aware that you are using imagery affiliated with white supremacist movements?”
“Ms, Ocasio-Cortez, once again as a dimwit Rep., yes or no, do you believe that members of identified extremist hate groups such as the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers should be able to use the same hand gesture that you use?”
Reclaiming my time.
