Trump supporters slam AOC for 'destructive' response to Mariann Budde's controversial sermon: 'faux outrage'

Supporters of President Donald Trump ridiculed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cartez for suggesting that billionaire Elon Musk get deported for what she described as a 'Nazi salute' at the inauguration ceremonies on Monday.

Ocasio-Cortez singled out Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia for suggesting that Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde should be 'deported' for her sermon lecturing Trump on the need to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.

'What about the guy who did a Nazi salute behind the presidential seal?' she asked, choosing to focus on Musk as the primary political villain.

Trump supporters called out Ocasio-Cortez for 'faux outrage' over Musk's gesture, where he pounded his chest and said, 'My heart goes out to you' before extending his arm to the crowd.

The left predictably accused Musk of offering a 'Nazi salute' to Trump supporters.

'Stop with the faux outrage you disingenuous clod,' wrote social media profile Jayroo on X.

'What a dangerous and destructive narrative you try to spin,' wrote 1stInspect on X. 'You know that is not what was going on with Elon. Try to be more constructive and bring unity not division. This is why you are not liked FYI.'

Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on her criticism on a video posted to her Instagram account.

'I don't care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal. In this country we hate Nazis, kind of a foundational defining thing,' she said, adding, 'We beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.'

'I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis and I'll do that until I'm six feet under the ground,' she said.

She excoriated people for 'defending' acts such as 'Nazi salutes' instead of condemning them.

'I'm not with the Nazis. How 'bout that?' she concluded.  

Others on social media share videos of AOC repeatedly thrusting out her arm at an angle during a political rally, accusing her of doing the same thing.

'AOC is literally Hitler. I'm shaking,' wrote social media user Sara Rose on X sarcastically.

 Ocasio-Cortez has tried to rally disappointed leftists after President Donald Trump's reelection and inauguration. 

She condemned Trump for allowing billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos to enjoy prominent seats at the inauguration while other elected officials were 'kicked to the curb.'

 'They were unelected billionaires,' she said. 'That pretty much is the story of the Trump administration in a nutshell, you're getting ripped off.' 

Ocasio-Cortez pushed back against Trump's attempt to sign an executive order doing away with birthright citizenship, arguing it was unconstitutional.

'We don't have to listen to him. We don't have to treat this seriously, this is a joke,' she said.

'Don't let these people's bulls**t get you down,' she concluded. 

She also lashed out at the conservative activist 'LibsOfTikTok' for criticizing her for describing Trump as a rapist.  

'F-you. Cry more,' she said.
