AOC Rips Elon Musk: 'In This Country, We Hate Nazis'

"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.”

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.

Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.

Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.

She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.

Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

    Do we though? Do we really, truly, hate Nazis? The evidence so far is not that conclusive.

    I hate Nazis, but I don’t think the country as a whole hates Nazis.

      Well, you certainly used to, judging by the efforts and sacrifices 80 years ago, but there’s certainly a lot of evidence to indicate a lot of Americans of today think you were on the wrong side back then.

        See, that’s the issue though, you say they “think you were on the wrong side”… but they don’t think. They put on a hat with the team colors and just thoughtlessly repeat the chants as the organist plays the fight song.

        You may want to reread some history, there were plenty of Nazi sympathizers and collaborators (read: nazis) in the US back then too.
