I did not know until just now that the Iron Dome was already funded. What a lie.

That was not an answer

I was completely unaware of this whole situation. With how overwhelming the vote was in favor, I have to figure there is an explanation. But why would American tax dollars be paying for another country’s defense system?

@AOC has grown quickly into becoming a good little soldier for DC politics.

A lot of political doublespeak that said absolutely nothing. Why didn’t she just admit she was trying not to alienate any voters?
