FUCKING OUTRAGEOUSLY EMBARRASSING STUPIDITY...@AOC
You historically illiterate girl...
You just humiliated yourself on a global stage by cackling like a hyena at Marco Rubio for daring to state the blindingly obvious fact that the American cowboy tradition traces straight back to Spain.
And you did it with that smug, vacant-eyed sneer that screams “I skimmed Wikipedia once and now I’m an expert.”
Let’s carve this into your skull with the precision of a Toledo blade.
The cowboy... the archetype you think sprang fully formed from some John Wayne fever dream...is a direct descendant of the Spanish vaquero.
Full stop.
Not “Mexican” in the modern national sense you’re desperately trying to retrofit onto history.
Not some spontaneous invention of Black or Indigenous Americans...though they later contributed brilliantly.
The core practices, tools, vocabulary, and culture came from Spain.
Spain domesticated cattle in Europe for millennia.
Spain mastered mounted herding on the Iberian Peninsula..
After 1492, Spanish conquistadors and colonists brought horses...reintroduced to the Americas after extinction...and longhorn cattle to New Spain...what is now Mexico and the Southwest U.S. By the 1500s–1600s, the hacienda system in colonial Mexico produced the vaquero:
Expert horsemen who roped, branded, drove, and managed massive herds using lariats, chaparreras...chaps... sombreros, spurs, and saddles that were Spanish in design and name.
The word “rodeo” is literally Spanish. “Lasso” is Spanish. “Bronco” is Spanish. “Mustang” derives from Spanish...mesteño.
The entire goddamn lexicon of cowboy life is Spanish because the tradition is Spanish.
When Anglo-Americans moved into Texas and the Southwest in the 1800s, they learned ranching from Mexican vaqueros...who were themselves inheriting centuries of Spanish technique.
The Texas longhorn drives, the open-range culture, the cattle trails...all built on the foundation laid by Spain centuries earlier.
You mocking Rubio for pointing out that the cowboy’s roots are Spanish is like mocking someone for saying pizza has Italian origins because Americans later added pineapple.
It’s not just ignorant... it’s a deliberate, ideologically driven erasure of historical fact to shoehorn your preferred narrative into reality.
Your brain doesn’t malfunction because you lack intelligence.
It malfunctions because you’re addicted to the dopamine rush of moral superiority.
You don’t seek truth; you seek applause from the terminally online who need to believe every iconic American symbol must be “decolonized” or credited to marginalized groups...even when the historical record says otherwise.
You’re not just wrong, Alexandria.
You’re a living embodiment of weaponized ignorance: loud, proud, and utterly convinced that feelings trump facts.
The lineage is Spanish → colonial Mexican vaquero → American cowboy.
Swallow it. And next time you feel the urge to laugh at actual history, maybe try reading a fucking book instead.
I'm absolutely shocked that you did not say they spoke "Mexican"...
I'm eternally, vicariously embarrassed and full of cringe every time you open your mouth.

Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.
It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!
THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.
Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.
Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
