‘Black Americans Really Created Democracy in this Country’
Link to quote: Not Like We Needed Another Example, But AOC Just Had Her Worst Case Of Historical Stupidity Yet | The Daily Caller
Another stupid statement from what is arguably the stupidest member of the stupid squad. AOC also said that the American Revolution was fought against millionaires.
“Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under fire for radically rewriting history by claiming the American Revolution was all about fighting against “billionaires” — similar to the fight she and other fellow socialists are waging on capitalism.
“The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time, and we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and the state,” claimed a clueless Ocasio-Cortez during an appearance Friday at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics with longtime Democrat strategist David Axelrod.
Critics schooled the Boston University grad by noting the American Revolution was a rebellion against the British government over unfair taxation without representation and monarchical control — not a fight over wealth.

Another squad member, Ilhan Omar, referred to World War II as World War Eleven, indicating not only an ignorance of twentieth century history but also a basic knowledge of Roman Numerals:
In a 13‑second clip taken from a press conference, Omar said: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War Eleven.”
She did try to correct herself:
"In the full, unedited video, Omar misspeaks momentarily, saying “World War Eleven,” before immediately correcting herself. Moments after, she clarified: “Oh—two, sorry.”

Ilhan Omar is also emersed in multiple controversies concerning how she obtained citizenship, how she acquired wealth and how much wealth she really accumulated and ties to the Minnesota fraudsters.
All of this leads to questions about the quality of modern-day education in the US and as I always ask: who votes for such people?
Supposedly Ilhan Omar earned a bachelor’s degree from North Dakota State University in 2011, listed as a B.A. or sometimes a B.S. or B.A. depending on the source; she also worked as a community educator at the University of Minnesota, whatever that is. Other sources claim she has both a B.A. and a B.S. from North Dakota State University.
Most people should know that AOC graduated from BU.
I think both are products of the DEI policy and the lowering of standards enacted by many American Universities.
