I imagine that everyone on here would have guessed that aoc vs Ted Cruz would be a slaughter. On second thought, there are a couple or three on here that aren't smart enough to come to that conclusion before reading the following.
What a slaughter.

Ted Cruz reminds AOC her own Democratic Party founded KKK, wrote Jim Crow laws
Senator says Dems also responsible for 'trapping millions of Black kids in failing schools'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., invited her colleague from across the aisle in Congress, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to educate Twitter users on the history of America's diametrically opposed political parties, and his answer is unlikely what she expected.
The impetus for the Twitter discussion stemmed from Cruz first commenting on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's (NAACP) travel advisory for Florida that said the state "devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."
"This is bizarre. And utterly dishonest." Cruz stated in a tweet Sunday. "In the 1950s & 1960s, the NAACP did extraordinary good helping lead the civil rights movement. Today, Dr. King would be ashamed of how profoundly they lost their way."
A user responded in accusation that Cruz "would’ve been first in line to filibuster against the voting rights act, and the civil rights act," in the 1950s and '60s.
"Nonsense. That shameful filibuster was led by Democrats – your party. My party – the Republicans – proudly voted for the Civil Rights Act in much higher percentages than the racist Dems," Cruz retorted in a tweet.
AOC inserted herself into the dialog by saying, "Why don’t you go ahead and tell people what happened to the parties after that, Ted."
1/x Sure.
- First, the Dem party founded the KKK.
- Then the Dem party wrote Jim Crow laws.

Cruz took her up on the offer and responded in a tweet thread, saying, "Sure. – First, the Dem party founded the KKK. – Then the Dem party wrote Jim Crow laws. – Then the Dem party filibustered the Civil Rights Act."
"Today, the Dem party filibusters school choice – trapping millions of Black kids in failing schools. – Today, the Dem party pushes abolishing the police, which results in many more Black lives murdered. – Today, every Dem senator voted against my bill to stop DC from throwing 40% of Black kids out of schools bc of vax mandate," Cruz continued.
What a slaughter.
