We already know, and have known for months, that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ “sister” in the House of Representatives, Rep. Ilhan Omar, is a backer of the Nicolas Maduro regime, joining Russia, Cuba, and Iran in opposing President Trump’s “coup attempt.”

Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib tend to agree on just about everything, so you’d think Ocasio-Cortez would speak right up in solidarity with Omar when asked if she considers the murderous Maduro regime legitimate.

I asked @AOC if the Maduro regime is legitimate. "I defer to caucus leadership on how we navigate this," she says. https://t.co/sEn2PwiOoJ — John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) May 2, 2019

What happened to, “I’m the boss!” She’s deferring to caucus leadership? Hmm.

That’s her whole thing. Wait. — Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) May 2, 2019

But she's the boss, remember? — The Weaponiz'd? (@WeaponizD1) May 2, 2019

Spoken like the true boss she is. — Mudcat (@noblers144) May 2, 2019

When AOC admittedly defers to caucus leadership regarding Maduro leadership, she admits she has no clue about the world and is too lazy or incompetent to learn things. — Camie Pickett (@ECPickett) May 2, 2019

She’s not the expert on these things, OK?

If AOC does not have her puppet masters notes and daily talking points, she is an empty vessel. — Tom Asiseeitnow (@asiseeitnow) May 2, 2019

I'll know what I think once I'm told what I think. — pcoastfool (@pcoastfool) May 2, 2019

Bold leadership — ed (@eleventy17) May 2, 2019

Stunning and brave. — Will Collier (@willcollier) May 2, 2019

Her social media can't really move the needle on something like this, sooooo… — HappyinValley (@happyinvalley) May 2, 2019

I thought she was woke? — AngryMVPFreak (@lammyleap) May 2, 2019

This is very serious, lives at risk & situation could become horrific very quickly. Cuba & Russia are heavily involved so every member of Congress needs to be up to date at all times. — My Info (@wavedancer43) May 2, 2019

Does she know who Maduro is? — Tish (@KittyCatGranny) May 2, 2019

Perhaps @AOC just didn’t understand the question ??‍♀️? — Kim Cotter (@Kimariecotter1) May 2, 2019

She’s so fearless, what an inspiration. — Ibis Rex (@IbisRex) May 2, 2019

"I defer to caucus leadership on how we navigate this,"

First time for everything! — Mike a.k.a. Proof ?? (@ProofBlog) May 2, 2019

Can’t have it both ways, but they will try. — FreeNYer2016!?? (@FreeNYer2016) May 2, 2019

Absolutely cowardly answer — JAC (@michcusejoe5) May 2, 2019

@AOC needs her talking points. Unless, of course, it’s for a mixed drink. — RTirk (@RTirk) May 2, 2019

Was that seriously her answer? — Stewby (@stewby_doo) May 2, 2019

When has she ever stepped back from voicing an opinion? But with this she doesn’t have anything to say? — Ryann (@shrewdmagnolia) May 2, 2019

What I meant was I haven't talked to my staff about this to tell me what to think and say. — Authoritaria Occasional-Cortex (@Kurvballs5) May 2, 2019

Surprised at her answer. She has an opinion on everything. #boss — Big B (@blaubaugh) May 2, 2019

The Democrat talking point router must have been down. It probably overheated sending the "Impeach AG Barr" instructions. — Funky Code Medina ✝️ (@spazafraz) May 2, 2019

I thought she gave zero f***s about caucus leadership. — El Jefe (@ElJefeTulum) May 2, 2019

Have a feeling Pelosi has put a muzzle on her. — coco (@McQueenS44) May 2, 2019

Most of the other major democratic countries of the world recognize Juan Guiado as the legitimate leader of Venezuela, not Maduro. She readily accepts other countries positions on climate change, but lacks the courage or political maturity to state the obvious. — Louis Lopez (@loucor75) May 2, 2019

First time she shuts her pie hole ? — Seasal (@newsel411) May 2, 2019

This is unusual. Normally tough talking, dancing, social media goddess @AOC from the Bronx weighs in on everything. Now that she’s asked a simple opinionated question regarding a Socialist tyrant & she’s just a good little soldier awaiting instructions on her talking points. — David Cole Grey (@greycole05) May 2, 2019

She is a coward and hypocrite — Scout (@Scoutdomain) May 2, 2019

Yeah, she’s hiding from her previous support of the murdering dictator — commonsense (@commonsense258) May 2, 2019

I thought AOC was "the boss?" — AJ (@AK_ND9) May 2, 2019

Isn’t she going to stick with her “sisters” and oppose Trump’s coup attempt?
