AOC To Ted Cruz: You Don’t Even Believe In Evolution

Newsweek reports:

On Friday, New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, saying that he doesn’t “even believe in evolution.” This comes amid the two trading jabs following Ocasio-Cortez’s reaction to a tweet aboutMike Pence leading the response to the coronavirus.

Trump’s administration has continued to downplay the severity of the outbreak, tweeting that the “USA is in great shape.” Despite the views of the virus, on Friday the World Health Organization (WHO) increased its risk assessment of COVID-19 to “very high,” and warned government to not underestimate the threat.

Mike Pence literally does not believe in science.

It is utterly irresponsible to put him in charge of US coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic.

This decision could cost people their lives. Pence’s past decisions already have. https://t.co/NhMPOusOWm

As you are speaking as the oracle of science, tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome? https://t.co/t4XVVzWr3A

Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology.

Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution. https://t.co/vOIwJhpl7q
