Yesterday, the US House passed a bill providing for anti-missile defense systems in Israel. Very few opposed it. Some voted present. One voted no, then present. That was AOC.
Here is how the Walter Duranty New York Times reported it:
Minutes before the vote closed, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez tearfully huddled with her allies before switching her vote to “present.” The tableau underscored how wrenching the vote was for even outspoken progressives, who have been caught between their principles and the still powerful pro-Israel voices in their party, such as influential lobbyists and rabbis. (A spokesman for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez declined to comment on her change of position.) source
I don't care about the merits of this. But the NYT unceremoniously memoryholed this. It now reads:

No update notice. Just memoryholed. Never existed. Where would we be without archives?
This is the only article covering it. It is from Fox News. I made it a self post so that I could link to the articles in question.
I am pretty sure it was not the scary rabbis who kvetched her out of her position. That is some pretty conspiratorial thinking on the part of this 'journalist'.
Wow, this is next level mental gymnastics even for you. I was surprised you even posted this shit given it's a clear L for your beliefs. The thing I didn't anticipate was the extent of your own delusion.
Still there must be some basis for this like adding lobbyists. We know there are lobbyists bribing politicians to enact a certain law, so it's plausible to think rabbis do have a bit of influence especially if it's new york where their religion is more prevalent than the other states, yes?
She is not Jewish.
Prove it.
