Crazy communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs to brush up on her history. Her latest gaffe about electing Democrats to “end slavery” doesn’t work too well. It was of course Democrats that made black people slaves. It was Democrats who “resisted” the end of slavery. And of course, it is Democrats who formed the KKK, Jim Crowe laws, segregation and so forth. But when you are as crazy as Ocasio-Cortez, none of that seems to matter.

Socialist democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — running for Congress in New York’s 14th District — invoked the United States ending slavery and the role that Kansas played while campaigning for Democrat candidate James Thompson in the state at a rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
In a campaign speech, Ocasio-Cortez seemed to compare Kansas helping to end slavery across the U.S. to voters electing Democrats like Thompson to Congress.“I learned that Kansas was founded over the struggle of the conscience of this nation,” Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to a history class she took in grade school. “It was when we were deciding who we wanted to be as a country. It was when we were deciding who we wanted to be with the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The people who were … leading this nation said, ‘You decide’ to the people.”
“‘Are we going to be a slave state or are we going to be a free state?’ And it was in 1861 that the people of Kansas decided that we were going to be a free nation,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.
