At her town hall event on MSNBC Friday night, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said a lot of very stupid things. But this one blew them all out of the water:

According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected: "They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected." (Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945; the 22nd Amendment came in 1947) pic.twitter.com/DImHj0caVy — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) March 31, 2019

Rep. Liz Cheney was one of many who just couldn’t resist the opportunity to throw AOC’s idiocy back in her face:

We knew the Democrats let dead people vote. According to @AOC, they can run for President, too. https://t.co/69VBYIDtGT — Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) March 31, 2019

So naturally, Little Miss Thin Skin is throwing a stunning and brave temper tantrum:

Hey Rep. Cheney, I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes, but the National Constitution Center + Newsweek are just two of many places where you can clarify your misunderstanding of the history of the 22nd Amendment: https://t.co/Je6mHFJ687 https://t.co/np1XtgLpm1 — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 1, 2019

Hey, Rep. AOC, nice try, but everyone knows you’re full of it. Even Newsweek, who was just doing their damnedest to cover for your historical and constitutional illiteracy.

Just take the L, AOC. We all make mistakes, but lying only makes them worse. The National Constitution Center article is from last year & doesn’t buttress your claim at all (did you read it?); Newsweek has since updated it’s post to note that you’re wrong. — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) April 1, 2019

She won’t. And the media don’t want her to.

We all knew this was coming, and really, this was why Newsweek wrote the piece to begin with https://t.co/oQiZuT7fig — Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) April 1, 2019

The Newsweek piece does an excellent job defending a comment AOC never made. Had she claimed that the 22nd Amendment was passed in reaction to FDR's many terms, or that it was first proposed during his presidency, she would indeed be on solid ground. — Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) April 1, 2019

Instead her claim was that FDR/New Deal was so popular, "they had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected." It's hard to read that as anything other than her saying the 22nd Amendment was successful in blocking FDR's reelection. — Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) April 1, 2019

Hey Rep Ocasio-Cortez, you actually got it wrong. Obviously wrong. And so did Newsweek. https://t.co/koh3pnYgBe https://t.co/Oq3t2fle3s — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) April 1, 2019

AOC can hold up Newsweek to defend herself all day long. Doesn’t change the fact that she said something stupid and refuses to take ownership of her stupidity.

Incredible. AOC says something false. Instead of correcting her, the media moves the goal posts to pretend she said something true. Then she cites those outlets to justify her false statement. https://t.co/VejxIMu8Qk — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) April 1, 2019

You said something that was clearly and embarrassingly false. A rather common occurrence for you. The fact that Newsweek ran to your defense by moving the goal posts doesn't change that fact. — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) April 1, 2019

You were wrong, though. Those other places doing intellectual gymnastics to defend you doesn’t change that. https://t.co/OwVgm52Di9 — RBe (@RBPundit) April 1, 2019

Lol lady, what you said was still wrong — Kebeh Nayyeh (@KNayyeh) April 1, 2019

When will the media quit carrying her water and call her out?

Like I said, this is typical of cultists. It's just that her cultists happen to work for major publications. https://t.co/civSRhhIFa — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) April 1, 2019
