Can you show me the Jewish Space Lasers part of the bill?

Social media is full of these half baked justifications like the ones you've responding to here makes it clear that aoc actions are just as uncritically accepted as any of her fellow Democrats as they continue supporting the genocide.

Can you show me where I implied that the bill contained JSL? Where I justified the bill being voted against? I just said "hey MTG doesn't have good interests at heart and if this bill is good it might be broken clock moment" but sure, go off

You can stop now. AOC already came out and clarified that this was not about MTG, but she wanted to send weapons to Israel from taxpayer money.
