AOC Calls on Supporters to ‘Laugh’ at MAGA ‘Men’ — Starting With ‘Clown’ Stephen Miller
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called on Democrats and activists to “laugh” at “insecure” MAGA “men” – zeroing in on White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as a “clown.”
Speaking during an hour-long Instagram Live session on Sunday, AOC mocked Miller, whom she admitted that she’d never met, as someone who looked like he was short and was angry because he was:
Point is, is that they are scrapping and grasping at straws because they have nothing else: Laugh at them! Stephen Miller is a clown! I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4′ 10″. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4’10”. And he looks like he is so mad that he is 4′ 10″, that he has taken that anger out on at any other population possible.
Like, laugh at them! Laugh at them.
Continuing, the Democratic congresswoman doubled down, arguing Democrats should be “making fun” of what she said was a culture of “insecure masculinity” within MAGA:
Yes, they are dangerous. Yes, we’re here to be strong for one another. We need to expose the lies, we need never let off, like never let off the gas when it comes to protecting one another, exposing the lies, documenting things. We’re seeing this too, right? And so I think this is just, I think it’s very important to be able to hold multiple things at once. And we’ve seen this work in other cultures. We’ve seen work in other countries. Yes, the resistance to authoritarianism is very real. The risks of abuse of power are very real, but one of the most powerful cultural things that you can do to a political movement that is predicated on the puffery of insecure masculinity – that’s what this is about.
People talk about toxic masculinity, let’s put that to the side for just one second, this is about insecure masculinity, and one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them.
By having secure men who aren’t afraid of successful people around them, who are good dads, who have strong values, also participating in that as well. So, that’s what I have for that.
After the tirade, some viewers protested the remarks in a stream of comments, noting that “short kings are great” – prompting AOC to clarify her initial jibe at Miller:
And also someone said, “short kings are great.” Absolutely, I’m not here – I want to absolutely make sure that I talk about that. I’m not here to make fun of anyone’s anything, but the way people overcompensate over their own stories is what I’m talking about there. So thank you for the clarification. I appreciate that.
Shout out to our short kings. Someone said, “not short kings, short troll.” That’s correct, there’s a difference.
