Ocasio-Cortez Has Words For Nancy Mace And 'White Privilege'

Nancy Mace tried to tell Hunter Biden he was abusing his "white privilege." AOC had words for her.

As the House Oversight Committee continued its debate over Republican efforts to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress, the hearing has frequently disintegrated into incoherence. Part of that came from Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who both insisted that the president’s son be immediately arrested and claimed Democrats were using “white privilege” to protect the president’s son.

Unfortunately for Mace, that claim got blasted by Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and when Mace tried to defend her statement, her claims were eviscerated by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Soon after Mace accused Democrats of “white privilege,” Crockett blasted her, saying that Mace had no place speaking about white privilege and that it was “a spit in the face” for Mace “to talk about what white privilege looks like.”

Mace took umbrage at being called out and defended herself by saying that she had served on the former Civil Rights Subcommittee. She followed that up with a textbook demonstration of being racially tone-deaf.

Joseph H. Rainey, a Black representative first elected in 1870.

She continued: “In my district was Harriet Tubman, you can see in the movie ‘Harriet,’ who rescued more than 700 slaves in one night in Beaufort County, South Carolina.”

So there you have it. Mace can’t be accused of white privilege, because white people in her district are richer, Black people get killed, and Black people had some level of power there 150 years ago.

Thankfully, Ocasio-Cortez got a chance to reply.
