World Series champ Kevin Youkilis calls out AOC for ‘virtue signaling' in her response to Colorado terror attack
A former MLB star accused US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of 'virtue signaling' over her response to the attack on Jewish protesters in Colorado.
Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X that she was 'horrified' by the firebombing, adding: 'My heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country.
'Antisemitism is on the rise here at home, and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists.'

But World Series champ Kevin Youkilis found her words hollow, and slammed the lawmaker for failing to speak out against the same antisemitism running rampant in New York City.
'Jews are targeted with violence and it's the same virtue signal post time and time again,' he wrote on X.
'What have you done to confront those calling for intifadas in NYC? Until you create a plan of action, your repeated virtue signaling after the violence occurs holds no weight,' he added.
