President Joe Biden made waves this week when the White House compelled Trump-appointed members of Military advisory boards to either resign or be fired from what would've been their three year terms.

Among those to get the proverbial pink slip were some of the most infamous in Trump's administration, such as his first White House press secretary Sean Spicer and—of course—former presidential counsellor Kellyanne Conway.


Conway became infamous for her defense of Trump in the late stages of the 2016 primaries and onto the final year of his administration. Her tenure was defined by repeated violations of the Hatch Act and an all-too-familiar willingness to lie on behalf of the former President.

After all, it was she who coined the term "alternative facts."

Conway posted her response to Biden's resignation request on Twitter, fuming against the supposed "break from presidential norms."

She wrote:

"Your decision is disappointing but understandable given the need to distract from a news cycle that has you mired in multiple self-inflicted crises and plummeting poll numbers[.] ... I'm not resigning, but you should."

The letter was criticized across social media, but few retorts resonated more than that of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the firebrand progressive from New York.

The Congresswoman, colloquially known as "AOC," berated Conway's "fascist victim complex" and alluded to the Republican party's embrace of election fraud conspiracy theories—fantasies which led elected officials to try to throw out certified electoral votes, and which motivated a mob of pro-Trump extremists to storm the United States Capitol in a deadly failed insurrection.

People thought AOC was spot-on.





Others offered their own takes.


It's unclear if Conway's dismissal is in effect.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reminder After Tweet Warning About Measles Outbreak In Texas

Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana tweeted that the measles vaccine "has been proven safe & effective since 1963" amid a serious outbreak in neighboring Texas—but was called out by critics who reminded him he voted to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

At least 58 new measles cases have been reported across northwest Texas in recent weeks, state health officials said Tuesday, describing the outbreak as "highly contagious" and potentially linked to low vaccination rates.

Old Video Of Marco Rubio Warning Republicans About Supporting Trump Resurfaces—And It's On Point

In the wake of President Donald Trump's lie that Ukraine was to blame for Russia sending troops into the country three years ago, a 2016 video of then-Florida Senator Marco Rubio making a prescient prediction about Republican support for Trump is going viral.

On Tuesday, after Ukraine President Zelenskyy called out his country's absence from U.S.-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia, which were attended by Rubio, Trump slandered Zelenskyy by repeating Russian talking points blaming Ukraine for the war.
