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.
Jesus fucking Christ! No wonder you are an SJW. It is like trying to explain how simple things work, that water is wet to a god damn fucking doorknob!
Can't you see that SJWs are wrong when they assume whites are a monolith and it is ABSOLUTELY wrong on the same fucking LEVEL to assume Jews are are a monolith? That THERE IS NO IRISH, WHITE or JEWISH CABAL controlling ANYTHING?
Let me put it this way, is the nazi party in America a representative of ALL whites? And thus, that means all whites agree and think like the nazi party? On that note, does that mean that the now extinct nazi party in Germany also controls something today?
Oh for fuck sake... I give up... If you think that what happened 10, 40, 100 years ago is still valid, or is still happening, then I think you are too retarded to be reasoned with.
Somehow I knew you would have the same problem SJWs have with the concept of time... I wasn't wrong.
