ā€œAnd they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?ā€ AOC added

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s ā€œbig, beautifulā€ bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.

The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a ā€œconga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about theā€ bill only to walk out with ā€œsigned merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.ā€

        Don’t be mistaken, people who decided not to vote against Trump share the same level of blame. In some cases more, because all-the-way Trumpists are gone as human, and hardly reachable, but a lot of abstainers had the capacity to change, had the mental ability to do the right thing, but actively decided not to, and that’s a use of free will that shouldn’t be mistaken for anything else.
