To which I would say, “yes, I am.”

Via The Hill:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday accused White House counselor Kellyanne Conway of using the church bombings in Sri Lanka as a way to “stoke suspicion” of the first-term lawmaker’s Christianity.

“On Easter I was away from tech visiting my grandmother in Puerto Rico, which continues to suffer from the White House’s incompetent disaster response,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter after Conway called out the congresswoman’s “silence” on the attacks.

“Are you trying to imply that I am less Christian? What was the point of you bringing this up on national TV?”

Conway hours earlier voiced outrage with Ocasio-Cortez for condemning the New Zealand mosque shootings but failing to speak out about bombings at churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka that left more than 300 people dead.

“I see officials who get a lot of airtime and ink like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, congresswoman, who tweets many times about the mosque and never once about the Christians being killed in Sri Lanka,” Conway said during a conversation with CNN’s Jake Tapper about President Trump’s response to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.
