As we told you earlier this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempted to dunk on Republicans with a tweet about the GOP posing an “older male member” of the party next to a cardboard cutout of her. However, AOC’s dunk attempt turned into an epic faceplant after it was noticed the “Republican” in the photo was actually her Democrat colleague, Rep. John Yarmuth. After that, AOC couldn’t reach the “delete” key fast enough.

But the MSM being the MSM, ABC News took a “Republicans pounce” angle to the story, and they’re not alone, as evidenced by USA Today:

But do they know what’s also unsurprising?

Unsurprisingly, USA Today and every other major publication completely ignored AOC's blunder. — Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) April 26, 2019

Color us not shocked.

Well- she did falsely accuse- way to spin this on Republicans. My god is this what journalism has become? — Samurai Apocalypse (@starlasworld) April 26, 2019

Stay predictable, MSM!

Best part of these headlines is the implied "But of course we journalists didn't" https://t.co/NiOgbQriyv — Cuffy (@CuffyMeh) April 26, 2019

Yep, they never really seem to realize what they’re actually saying.
