A fight between Ted Cruz and AOC simply is not a fair one given the wide gulf in intellect between the two. This all came into view Tuesday.

Before their little spat, a liberal “political scientist” named Norm Ornstein smeared Cruz by saying the Texas senator would have been “first in line” to filibuster the Civil Rights Act and Jim Crow.
Cruz, who is the exact opposite of a racist, pointed out the obvious: Ornstein’s Democratic Party filibustered the Civil Rights Act while Republicans supported it in overwhelming numbers.
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. https://t.co/MgPZZFTlak

AOC for no particular reason thought she could own Cruz and educate arguably America’s smartest senator on American history.
Why don’t you go ahead and tell people what happened to the parties after that, Ted https://t.co/fiJgIgVZHO

Not surprisingly, this proved to be a poor choice. Cruz ended up taking AOC to school (h/t Twitchy for first discovering the tweets).
He detailed how the Democrats were the party of Jim Crow and support trapping kids in failing schools along with abolishing the police. Moreover, he issues a brutal reminder to AOC that the Democrat governor of Virginia posted a photo of a man in a KKK outfit and Joe Biden once exalted a former Klansman.
Cruz also reminded AOC of the GOP’s incredible civil rights record and President Trump’s successful economic policies which redounded to the black community’s benefit.
Here is his Twitter thread (h/t Twitchy for first discovering the tweets).
1/x 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. https://t.co/ix3fACqwkB

2/x – Today, the Dem part 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…

3/x – The Republican Party was founded to oppose slavery.
– Our first Republican President was Abraham Lincoln, who won the Civil War and ended slavery.
– It was Republicans who voted for the civil Rights Act in a much higher percentage than racist Dems.

4/x
– Today, we produced the lowest African-American unemployment EVER, under the Trump economic boom.
– Today, we produced the lowest African-American poverty levels EVER, under the Trump economic boom.

6/x
– Also, just two years ago, the Dem governor of Virginia had put the photo of A MAN DRESSED AS A KKK KLANSMAN on his personal yearbook page.
– And today, the sitting Dem President—Joe Biden—gave in 2011 a flowery eulogy for an “Exalted Cyclops” of the KKK.

7/x
– And to add to all that, the Dem party aggressively supports open borders—which has led to the deaths and brutal assaults of thousands of Hispanics, and @aoc somehow can’t seem to find her White pantsuit to cry over their suffering.

Other Twitter users piled on AOC’s ignorance:
You would probably benefit from this same history lesson, AOC.
Read a book. Or several. https://t.co/HxjrNoPh7J

The kind of interaction that makes this platform so unique & entertaining!
