Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempted to smear Republicans – she ended up embarrassing herself.
She ran to CNN to claim some elected Republicans were engaging in “stochastic terrorism.”
This came after Rep. Ilhan Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., slammed Republicans for engaging in “stochastic terrorism” after Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over what Republicans have described as antisemitic and anti-American comments.
Ocasio-Cortez blamed the move on Republicans’ alleged racism and misogyny, and went on CNN Thursday night to air all of her grievances after the House decided along party lines to expel Omar from the committee.
During the interview, Ocasio-Cortez said it was “uncomfortable” working with Republicans who engage in “stochastic terrorism.”
The definition she gave for “stochastic terrorism” was “an incitement of violence using digital means and large platforms so that individual themselves may not be the one that is wielding a weapon.”

Stochastic terrorism is a specific type of extremist violence that occurs when an environment has “othered” a population or individual to a significant enough extent that results in subsequent violence against them, Eric K. Ward, senior advisor to the Western States Center, told Insider.
AOC will say anything to smear Republicans.
