Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggesting she turn down the temperature on her rhetoric after she accused him of trying to get her &#8220;killed,&#8221; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-D) took aim at the entire Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there\u2019s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out,\u201d AOC said to Cruz in response to him agreeing with her online about looking into investment app Robinhood&#8217;s recent controversial actions. \u201cHappy to work w\/ almost any other GOP that aren\u2019t trying to get me killed. In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;You know, there&#8217;s a lot of partisan anger and rage on the Democratic side,&#8221; Cruz <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ReporterCioffi\/status\/1354871915823976448\">said<\/a> in response. &#8220;It&#8217;s not healthy for our country, it&#8217;s certainly not conducive of healing or unity, but everyone has to decide how they want to interact with others.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, there\u2019s anger?&#8221; the congresswoman responded Thursday. &#8220;Now why would there be anger that Cruz amplified known lies about our election that fueled an insurrection that cost [people&#8217;s] lives?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What does he think the logical response to his lies should be? A hug?&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Maybe there\u2019s anger [because] his actions deserve accountability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;We need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable. But if you\u2019re mad at that you\u2019re divisive,&#8221; she wrote in a follow-up post, sarcastically signing the tweet as the &#8220;GOP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe need healing + unity, but I will not take any responsibility for my actions, nor will I acknowledge the contributions my lies made to the violence or the harm that it caused, nor do I believe anyone should be held accountable.

In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile you conveniently talk about \u2018moving on,\u2019 a second Capitol police officer lost their life yesterday in the still-raging aftermath of the attacks you had a role in,\u201d she added. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a joke. We need accountability, and that includes a new Senator from Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou haven\u2019t even apologized for the serious physical + mental harm you contributed to from Capitol Police &amp; custodial workers to your own fellow members of Congress,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIn the meantime, you can get off my timeline &amp; stop clout-chasing. Thanks. Happy to work with other GOP on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire reported, &#8220;There is no evidence that Cruz &#8216;almost had&#8217; Ocasio-Cortez &#8216;murdered&#8217; during the January 6 riot, and there is no evidence that Cruz is &#8216;trying to get [her] killed.&#8217; Cruz also condemned the &#8216;despicable&#8217; January 6 riot, which he called a &#8216;terrorist attack,&#8217; saying that everyone involved &#8216;should be fully prosecuted&#8217; and &#8216;should spend a long, long time in jail.&#8217;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer, multiple cities across the country suffered violent, largely left-wing riots, resulting in dozens dying. In the heat of the deadly destruction, AOC\u00a0criticized calls for peace as akin to calls for the \u201ccontinuation of quiet oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are calling for an end to this unrest, and if you are a calling for an end to all of this, but you are not calling for the end of the conditions that created the unrest, you are a hypocrite,\u201d the congresswoman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zj1iUtfuW2E\">said<\/a> in an Instagram video posted in May. \u201cSo if you\u2019re out here calling for the end of unrest, then you better be calling for health care as a human right, you better be calling for accountability in our policing, you better be supporting community review boards, you better be supporting the end of housing discrimination. \u2026 Because if you don\u2019t call for those things and you\u2019re asking for the end of unrest, all you\u2019re asking for is the continuation of quiet oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just can\u2019t, I cant with folks who are saying we need to stop this unrest, we need to stop violence, as though charging someone $1,000 a month for insulin that they need to survive isn\u2019t violent,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat is violent. And allowing people to die in these systems is just wrong. \u2026 We have to really ask ourselves the question as to why so many people were okay ignoring these problems until a window got broken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/aoc-says-it-was-close-to-half-of-the-house-nearly-dying-during-capitol-breach-calls-for-trump-removal\">AOC Says It Was \u2018Close To Half Of The House Nearly Dying\u2019 During Capitol Breach, Calls For Trump\u00a0Removal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
