   Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to   
   the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward   
   gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute.   
      
   Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused the antisemitism watchdog group of “defending   
   a Heil Hitler salute” before arguing that the ADL “works for” President   
   Trump and his allies.   
      
   “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was   
   performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in   
   response to the ADL on X.   
      
   “People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable   
   source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that   
   crystal clear to all,” she added.   
      
   Footage of Musk thanking Trump supporters took off Monday, with many   
   questioning whether the tech mogul did a fascist salute after he placed   
   his right hand over his heart and extended his arm in the air.   
      
   The ADL took to X in Musk’s defense, writing, “It seems that [Musk] made   
   an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,” and   
   argued people on both sides of the aisle shouldn’t jump to conclusions.   
      
   Many social media users quickly took offense at AOC’s response, calling   
   out the Bronx and Queens rep for trying to explain antisemitism to the   
   watchdog group, with one commentator noting: “We now have AOC jewsplaining   
   to the ADL.”   
      
   Another X user chimed in: “AOC trying to Jewsplain to the ADL why they are   
   antisemitic. She’s officially lost her mind.”   
      
   Some users used the moment to drag Ocasio-Cortez, who has been an   
   outspoken critic of Israel and previously accused the country of   
   committing “genocide” against the Palestinian people.   
      
   “If, like @ADL, you fight antisemitism every day, I’m ready to   
   respectfully hear your opinion on what Elon Musk intended. THAT’S NOT WHAT   
   @AOC IS DOING. This is a cynical political game for her. She supports   
   antisemites. She’s scoring cheap points against the ADL because they   
   support the rights of ALL Jews including Israeli Jews,” one person wrote.

   Others took offense at Ocasio-Cortez going against one of the most   
   prominent American Jewish civil rights organizations in the US just   
   because it didn’t fit her agenda.   
      
   “Just to be clear, AOC is trying to delegitimize the preeminent American   
   Jewish civil rights organization here after spending the last 15 months   
   defending those guilty of the very ideology the ADL was founded to   
   combat,” one commentator argued.   
      
   “The ADL gave a good sound statement and AOC just went for its neck   
   because it didn’t align with her politics. The U.S. political debate is   
   already off the rails and it’s not even day one. If AOC wants to blame   
   someone for encouraging antisemitism she should look at the mirror,”   
   another person added.   
      
   Meanwhile, Musk defended the one-armed gesture he gave during Trump’s   
   inauguration — arguing the left-wingers who accused him of giving a Nazi   
   salute “need better dirty tricks.”   
      
   “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk wrote on X.   
      
   Musk later thanked the ADL for coming to his defense, writing, “Thanks   
   guys,” along with a crying laughing face emoji.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
