A Republican group called ‘New Faces GOP’ ran an ad featuring a young woman named Elizabeth Heng, whose parents escaped the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. The ad blasts socialism and features an image of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
See the ad in the tweet below:
We have a choice: Will we let socialists like @AOC be the face of our future? Or will a new generation of conservatives step up & lead us? We're launching New Faces GOP to help identify & support the next generation of GOP leaders. Learn more: https://t.co/UrarCUSAIl pic.twitter.com/LgwTrS8En6

AOC responded to this by calling it white supremacy. No, really. See below:
Republicans are running TV ads setting pictures of me on fire to convince people they aren’t racist.
Life is weird!

Know that this wasn’t an ad for young conservatives of color – that was the pretense.
What you just watched was a love letter to the GOP’s white supremacist case. https://t.co/zvp1EB02c5

Heng hit back with this response:
.@aoc response is the Democratic party in a nutshell. They are more offended by truthful words than the acts of their political ideology that has killed millions of innocent victims. I don't care about @AOC feelings – I care about stopping her lies about the lies of socialism.

This is also a great response:
Nothing says “white supremacy” more than “daughter of Cambodian immigrants who escaped the Khmer Rouge.” https://t.co/mDRRaXcNIu

AOC is truly beyond parody.
Maybe she should have studied some history before running for office.
