In a Monday post on X, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the GOP, claiming they have an “incel platform” and calling it “super weird.”
“Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy. Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal. Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy. It’s an incel platform, dude,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “It’s SUPER weird. And people need to know.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s comments were in response to former GOP primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who had said, “This whole ‘they’re weird’ argument from the Democrats is dumb & juvenile. This is a presidential election, not a high school prom queen contest. It’s also a tad ironic coming from the party that preaches ‘diversity & inclusion.’ Win on policy if you can, but cut the crap please.”
Sen. Brian Schatz also stated, “Assigning extra votes to certain people based on the size of their family is weird. Banning library books is weird. Government being in people’s bedroom is weird. Government being in the exam room is weird. Saying ‘weird’ is not a schoolyard taunt – it’s an observation.”
“If Republican leaders don’t enjoy being called weird, creepy, and controlling, they could try not being weird, creepy, and controlling,” Hillary Clinton wrote.
The X account for the Democrat Party posted, “Donald Trump is old and weird,” accompanied by a clip of Trump speaking at a rally. The clip was taken out of context, referring to Trump discussing a female weightlifting champion being outlifted by a biological male.
This exchange took place as vice presidential candidate JD Vance faced criticism from Democrats and left-wing outlets for past comments. Media outlets often left out the context of his statements.
“Why have we let the Democrat Party become controlled by people who don’t have children?” Vance said in a 2021 speech. He further elaborated on Tucker Carlson’s show, “What I was basically saying is that we’re effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and they want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”
JD Vance also responded by posting a clip of Kamala Harris at a 2020 town hall event saying, “my pronouns are she, her, and hers,” with the caption “‘JD Vance is weird.'”
Others highlighted Kamala Harris meeting with drag queens and other members of the Biden administration.
The exchange coincided with the pro-Kamala Harris PAC “Won’t PAC Down” releasing a scripted anti-Trump ad featuring white males discussing government involvement in personal aspects of sex life and monitoring pornography consumption. A group called “White Dudes for Harris” announced their launch, stating, “We aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology because we understand that under MAGA everyone loses.”
