People aren’t walking wikipedias. The general point is that republicans moved to impose term limits as a reaction to FDR’s popularity

Trump doesn’t know what country his father was born in
The thing is, like most normal people, she accepts corrections or amends her statements. She doesn't double down and try to rewrite history.

did she double down? Is this the new thing people want to torch her with?

can AOC serve four term? If so, THEN she can talk.

yes, she doubled down
Hey Rep. Cheney,I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes, but the National Constitution Center + Newsweek are just two of many places where you can clarify your misunderstanding of the history of the 22nd Amendment: https://t.co/Je6mHFJ687 https://t.co/np1XtgLpm1— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 1, 2019

She said they passed an amendment in 1944 when really they proposed it in 1944 and passed it in 1947.

It’s an incredibly dumb controversy
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 2 April 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link
well passing an Amendment in 1947 to stop FDR from being re-elected shows that they really hated that dude
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Tuesday, 2 April 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
she got it wrong, it's an understandable mistake, the 22nd was clearly targeted at FDR and his legacy, but insisting that she actually got it right based on a strained reading of history is not a great strategy

― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Tuesday, 2 April 2019 20:12 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I don't think that is doubling down. She's not wrong, her selection of words relative to the timing of how it played out is not great as shown in that newsweek article.

I just made the mistake of looking at my dad's fb to see if he has anything new public (because I haven't spoken to him in over 2 years and am not fb friends). Holy crap are there a lot of messy memes about AOC being stupid. Obsessed. (this fascination with Maxine Waters and Pelosi too).
― Yerac, Wednesday, 3 April 2019 13:37 (four years ago) link
I have to admit that I was taught that the Presidency is term-limited because it killed FDR and Congress didn’t want that to happen again.

if FDR had run for a fifth term, it might've cured his polio.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quits Facebook, calls social media a ‘public health risk’
The New York Democrat said she stopped using her account personally, but her campaign still sponsors several active ads on Facebook.
