AOC Rages At Trump During DNC: ‘Looks Furious All The Time’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) began yelling during her speech at the DNC on Monday as she seethed at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“We know Trump would sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing palms of his Wall Street friends,” she claimed. “And I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people out from under the boots of greed trampling on our way of life.”

Many people on social media were quick to point out that Ocasio-Cortez, who claims she is a fighter for the working class, was the primary reason that Amazon decided to cancel its plans to build a massive headquarters in New York City that would have brought tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars a year in revenue.

Senior Trump campaign official Tim Murtaugh responded to the clip of AOC on X: “Oh yes, you can see how she’s always filled with joy. Watching AOC with the sound off is the best. She looks furious all the time.”

AOC’s remarks came on the same day that the House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary Committee, and House Ways and Means Committee released a joint report that concluded there was “overwhelming evidence” that President Joe Biden took part in his family’s foreign business dealings by using his public office “to enrich his family.”

The report further alleged that the Biden family and its associates were paid more than $27 million by foreign individuals or entities since 2014.

“As Vice President, President Biden actively participated in his conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden,” the report states.

It adds, “Foreign money was transmitted to the Biden family through complicated financial transactions. The Biden family laundered funds through intermediate entities and broke up large transactions into numerous smaller transactions.” House Republicans state in their report that in 2014, then-Vice President Biden attended a dinner with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina. Following the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Hunter Biden’s firm, Rosemont Seneca Thornton.

Disney Cancels ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘The Acolyte’ Season 2

Disney+ has reportedly canceled the “Star Wars” series “Acolyte” created by showrunner Leslye Headland — who promised it would be infused with LGBTQ themes — after only one season amid low ratings.

Lucasfilm has opted out of having a second season for the female-centric, Sith-focused series, sources told DeadlineThe eight-part series launched on June 4 after scoring numerous glowing headlines that helped it land a strong opening with 4.8 million views in its first day on the streamer with its first two episodes. 

However, it struggled with luke-warm reviews and poor ratings, falling out of the top 10 by the third week, the outlet noted. The series remained there until the finale, when it finally cracked into the 10th spot, with 335 million minutes, something that is believed to be the lowest ever for a “Star Wars” series finale, the outlet noted.

The director previously talked about how her new series wasn’t going to be like what fans have seen in shows like “The Mandalorian” or “Andor.”

Headland said her new series looked “at the Jedi as an institution, as a concept, as an entity that has amassed a lot of power. And that’s good, I’m not saying that’s wrong.”

“I think you’re seeing the Jedi when they are this very, very large institution – a benevolent one – but they are closer to who they are in the ‘Phantom Menace’ than obviously in the Original Trilogy where you feel like they’re almost extinct,” the director added.

“In a weird way, in the ‘Phantom Menace’ and the Prequel Trilogy, the Jedi outnumber the Sith,” Headland continued. “And then in the Original Trilogy, the Empire outnumber the Jedi, which is why a show based on the ‘bad guys’ is interesting to me. In that era, what does the underdog look like? Even if they’re the bad guy.”

Before the series aired, Headland’s said that her “Star Wars” series would be “coded queer” like the animated children’s movie “Frozen,” as previously reported.

“When I saw Frozen as a grown a** woman, I cried through the entire movie,” she said at the time. “There was just something about the relationship between the sisters, the like devillainization of the classic kind of fairy tale ‘bad guy,’ you know, the concept of true love being between two sisters and not a heterosexual relationship. It just destroyed me, completely.”

She continued, “And I thought, ‘Gosh, I would love to make something like this, for lack of a better term, Disney.’ Meaning something that like my parents would have allowed me to see when I was younger as a queer person, but I would have been able to understand as a queer person. And I think I would have had a completely different life. And so I really was inspired by it and was like, ‘God, I would love to make a story like this.’”

In 2021, Headland spoke to The Advocate about having representation on “The Acolyte” and fully intending “to allow her own personal experiences as a queer woman shine through in the finished product.”
