That actually had me wondering. This is about Georgia. AOC is a gem, but why is it a NY rep bringing this to the EPA and not that town's own congressional rep?
So I looked it up in the article, which never names the town nor its congressional representative but refers to Morgan County, Georgia multiple times. (The author goes out of their way to talk around various glaring facts; this is one of them.) So I looked up Morgan County, Georgia, which is in Georgia's 10th congressional district, and is currently represented by Republican Mike Collins.
And there it is. Mike Collins is himself the answer as to why it's AOC, a congresswoman from New York, holding up a jar of muddy water in Congress on behalf of the citizens of rural Georgia that he was elected to represent.
AOC is EVERYBODY'S Congressional Rep.
Truth. And AOC is the best of them. But that doesn't let Trump's little MAGA culture warrior off the hook. This is the Laken Riley Act guy.
If I were in Georgia's 10th and had a mind to run, I'd wipe the floor with commercials showing AOC representing the 10ths need for clean water and physically holding up that jar of muddy water in Congress on their behalf, interspersed with shots of Collins' own social media and deepfaked AI ads against Jon Ossoff illustrating what he's really been busy with, and asking why he's nowhere around when they simply need clean water.
