Rep. Alexandria Ocazio-Cortez liked a tweet from a Russian propaganda artist who claimed Iran would not attack civilians.
“A friend flying into the US says he hasn’t seen so much security since 9/11,” Rania Khalek said. “The US is terrified of how Iran will retaliate. Iran won’t attack civilians, that’s what al Qaeda does. But it shows this assassination did the opposite of making Americans safer and our leaders know it.”

Khalek is a host of the Russian-funded propaganda show In the Now. A screenshot shared by the Washington Free Beacon shows AOC liked Khalek’s tweet.
After receiving backlash, the New York Demorat later un-liked the tweet.
