Below we have transcribed the portion of the interview included in the meme, but we have punctuated it to better reflect Ocasio-Cortez’s actual speech pattern, and we have added brief bits of contextual references in brackets that would have been understood by persons who had been listening to the full interview up to that point:

"Because given that none of those standards [that I advocated for] were met, sitting on that committee, I would have to own anything — I would [have to] take responsibility for anything that comes out of that committee. And when the actual, in my opinion, structure of [the committee] is compromised in very deep ways, you know it’s not … I don’t think it was like, “I’m going to take my ball and go home” — it’s, “We have a select committee whose mission I was uncertain on, [and] whose members take fossil fuel money.” You know [my decision was] beyond just a mere disagreement [with the committee’s mission]. I think there’s a structural problem with [the committee] …”

Ziprhead posts something we know is cariacature. angelo thinks what he posted was truth. You know, because it was in a jpg.

Since it says it's an actual quote I would assume it's false. Saying that is going overboard.

Now why would a left leaning site use another left leaning site? There's only one answer to that question.

All fact checking sites are "left wing" because right wingers are allergic to facts.

I actually have a bit of a problem with Snopes--they're biased in favor of authority. Too often I have seen them treat the official pronouncements on something as inherently accurate when the question was whether the authorities were not telling the truth.

But they will at least explain the basis of their conclusion.

Which authorities? And do they confuse consensus of people with consensus of evidence?

My reply to angelo:

Very first line in your linked article says "Why would it seem odd to me that a left-wing rag would use a left-wing Internet site, snoops.com to verify their opinions*"

*bolding mine

I don't go to Snopes to verify opinions. I go there to verify facts. And I follow links, like the one Snopes provided to the actual interview in which AOC said a series of words used in that meme. The link is there so you can verify the accuracy of their report yourself

You might want to give it a try someday.

Exactly. And in fact I have never found other fact checkers like factcheck.org to have substantial disagreement with snopes.

Whatever authorities the issue was questioning whether there was a coverup.

Maybe an example would be helpful.
