I didn't criticize her for her word usage during the 12 day war? I criticized her for her word useage NOW.
Politicians know extremely well what their words mean and are very selective in how they use them.
AOC used softball terms here. She didn't even condemn the US-Israeli attack. And the term "combat operations" cmon bruh
No you criticized her for her word usage in general, please do not try and present this like I said you were criticizing her for what she said during the 12 day war. She used the same terms used by trump to emphasize what she was responding to - and then repeatedly clarified in the body of the statement what it actually was. That's a completely reasonable choice to make.
I criticized her for her word usage in this post which is her statement on this war. I don't care about a year ago.
You also did that, yes. However in the section I quoted, which I responded to with the above example, you criticized her and those like her for her word usage in general within this context.
