Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempted to smear Republicans – she ended up embarrassing herself.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., slammed Republicans for engaging in “stochastic terrorism” after Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over what Republicans have described as antisemitic and anti-American comments.
