In a humiliating meltdown on live TV, AOC threw an over-the-top temper tantrum over the recent takedown of woke Supreme Court Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson by noted conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, with the leftist representative repeating herself incessantly, disrespecting Justice Thomas and making blatant, unfounded insinuations about Thomas’ character.
For context, Justice Jackson provoked a brutal critique from Justice Thomas when she defended affirmative action using faulty logic and assumptions. Justice Thomas responded by indicting Justice Jackson for portraying Black Americans as victims and supporting legislation that would ultimately make life worse for US citizens of any race.
During a CNN interview broadcast on July 3, 2023, AOC was asked for her response to an excerpt from Justice Thomas’ critique of Justice Jackson. At the core of this excerpt was Thomas’ precise takedown of affirmative action: “It is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to young minds seeking to push through barriers that race is not to blame for everything good or bad that happens in their lives.”
When asked for her response to this statement, AOC responded with her characteristic fury and launched a personal attack on Justice Thomas. She pontificated, “I mean, what Justice Clarence Thomas wrote there, I believe, is profoundly disrespectful to [his colleague]. I just think it was profoundly disrespectful to his colleague. It includes sweeping assumptions about her worldview.”
Continuing her tirade, AOC ripped into Justice Thomas, accusing the conservative judge of insulting Justice Jackson, all the while struggling to make a coherent point or level any meaningful accusations against Justice Thomas. She went on, “For [Thomas] to come out and insinuate that her opinion is due to some sort of inferior or less than, you know, less than really sought out of a stance.”
Concluding her statement with her signature combination of meaningless conjecture and exaggerated emotion, AOC took one final pass at Justice Thomas’ character and condemned him for speaking his mind, saying, “I think it’s profoundly insulting, and I think that he really demonstrated his character, frankly, and his worldview in that critique himself.”
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson shared the video of AOC’s tantrum on X, drawing support from conservatives on the platform. One user, Richard D Halas, pointed out how many times AOC squeezed the word “profound” into her statement, making the hilarious comment, “AOC word of the day 👉 “…profound blah, blah, blah, profound, blah, blah, blah, profound, blah, blah, blah,…”
The clip, which garnered several hundred comments, became a hub for salient statements about AOC’s foolishness. Another commenter made a powerful critique of AOC’s overall ethos, calling her out for rambling and ranting. They quoted the Biblical book of Proverbs, writing, “A wise man saying few profound words, versus a fool speaking multitudes of nonsense.”
