Citing an incomplete quote of President Donald Trump’s answer to a question during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared Trump a fascist white supremacist.
Ocasio-Cortez made the claim in a late-night Tweet following the debate:
“Donald Trump is a white supremacist. People have been warning about this for a long time. They were ridiculed, called hyperbolic & radical - not bc they were wrong, but bc others couldn’t accept that our country elected a supremacist as President. This is fascism at our door.”
A misleading meme states that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received “about 16,000 votes” while running for office in 2018. She won her seat with 110,318 votes in the general election. On June 28, 2018, Ocasio-Cortez told CNN she would support the impeachment of President Trump, citing Trump's alleged violations of the Emoluments Clause and stating that 'we have to hold everyone accountable and that no person is above that law.'
In her tweet, Ocasio-Cortez included an Axios tweet of video and its account of an exchange between Trump and debate Moderator Chris Wallace. Axios reported the question and Trump’s answer as:
Chris Wallace: 'Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down...'
Trump: 'Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left.'
But, as Axios’ own video clip shows, Trump’s “Proud Boys” comment was actually a response to Joe Biden’s prompting at a later point in the exchange.
Before that, Trump twice answered “Sure” to Wallace’s question about whether he was “willing to condemn white supremacists and militia groups” – adding, “Give me a name. Who would you like me to condemn?”:

WALLACE: “Are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups…”
TRUMP: “Sure…”
WALLACE: “And to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha, and as we’ve seen in Portland”
TRUMP: “Sure, I’m prepared to do it. But, I would say almost everything I see is from the left-wing not from the right-wing. I’m willing to do anything, I want to see peace…”
WALLACE: “Then do it, sir.”
BIDEN: “Do it, say it.”
TRUMP: “What do you want to call them? Give me a name. Who would you like me to condemn?”
WALLACE: “White supremacists and right-wing militias”
BIDEN: “Proud Boys”
Trump: “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about Antifa and the left.”

Ocasio Cortez Quotes About Trump Tweets
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is condoning violent rioting in order to reach political goals.
During an interview with New York's Hot 97 earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez argued 'marginalized' communities have no choice but to riot against their so-called oppressors.
Ocasio Cortez Quotes About Trump Comments
'I believe injustice is a threat to the safety of all people. Because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalize and marginalized...once someone doesn't have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot. And it doesn't have to be that way. I'm not even taking about Palestinians. I'm talking about communities in poverty in the United States; I'm talking about Latin America; I'm talking about all over the world,' she said.
Two weeks ago Ocasio-Cortez was asked if she condemns the violent domestic terror attack carried out by an Antifa member at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Center in Tacoma, Washington. She refused to give an answer.
The 69-year-old armed man killed by Washington state police as he attacked a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center Saturday sent a manifesto to friends the day before the assault in which he wrote 'I am Antifa,' and was being lionized by members of the leftwing group as a 'martyr.'
The group Seattle Antifascist Action described assailant Willem Van Spronsen a 'good friend and comrade' who 'took a stand against the fascist detention center in Tacoma' and 'became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism.'
