Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t known as the brightest member of Congress.
She has been caught in her share of gaffes over the years.
And a damning photo has Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hanging her head in shame as Elon Musk laughs himself to tears.
Rally in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, not a state.
The territory doesn’t have any electoral votes, and its single member of Congress doesn’t vote on legislation.
While the island territory residents vote in Presidential primaries and send delegates to each party’s convention, on election day neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris appeared on the ballot in Puerto Rico.
Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)would really like to make Puerto Rico a state, because it would be another reliably Blue State.
But even Puerto Ricans themselves are divided over whether they want to become a state, become an independent nation, or remain a territory.
While they didn’t cast ballots for President, many Puerto Ricans seemed to be fired up about their local elections.
A political rally in Puerto Rico amassed 50,000 attendees, but AOC seemed to be confused about what the rally was about.
AOC posted on X, “Eyes on Puerto Rico: Tonight, Puerto Ricans amassed the second-largest political rally this ENTIRE cycle – behind only Harris’ 75k-person Ellipse speech. Over 50,000 Boricuas rallying for the anti-Trump, anti-corruption Alianza movement & @juandalmauPR. Political earthquake.”
The rally, however, had nothing to do with being “anti-Trump,” as AOC claimed.
Oh my effing word, you are not only stupid, but a pathological liar!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets hit with community notes
Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, now known as X, the platform aggressively censored conservative, while leftist lies went completely unchecked.
But thanks to user driven community notes implemented by Musk, users are able to call out and fact-check leftists like AOC.
X users noted under AOC’s post, “The depicted rally is the Festival de la Esperanza, hosted by the anti-colonial parties of Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (MVC) and Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP) ahead of the next colonial elections. It had nothing to do with any of the US’s main parties.”
After getting hit with the notes and several X users calling her a liar and calling her out for trying to exploit Puerto Rico for her own political purposes, AOC attempted to clarify her statement.
“I did not mention Kamala and stated this is about anti-corruption Alianza,” she posted. “To build a coalition, it is relevant to note that PNP’s Jenniffer Gonzalez ran Latinos for Trump & campaigns on scare tactics about Dalmau cutting [Social] Security when she’s empowered cuts via membership w/GOP.”
X users continued to bash her, and Elon Musk chimed in simply replying “lol.”
Musk and AOC have gone back and forth quite a bit on social media.
During a back and forth with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair in which AOC compared the current migrant crisis to legal immigration to Ellis island, Musk replied, “She’s just not that smart.”
Leftists like AOC can’t stand the fact that Elon Musk now owns Twitter, and it is no longer a “safe space” where conservatives are censored and leftist nonsense is left unchecked.
