Falwell Jr: I thought Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was just dumb but she is a liar too
(FOX NEWS) – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. got into a sparring match on Twitter on Tuesday over a comment he made about the congresswoman at CPAC last weekend.
The heated exchange first erupted after the freshman lawmaker tweeted a video of Falwell speaking about concealed carry permits and Muslims.
“’I always thought that if more good people had concealed carry permits, then we could end these Muslims before they [unintelligible],’” Ocasio-Cortez wrote alongside the retweeted video. “This was just this weekend at CPAC, the conference attended by the President and members, to 1000s. Where’s the resolution against Islamophobia?”

“She claims this was @CPAC last week when it was actually in 2015 the day after the deadly CA attacks by radical Muslims (‘those’ Muslims I referenced) She also deleted the last part of my quote ‘before they walk in and kill us,’” he tweeted in response.
