James Woods returns to Twitter, immediately goes on tirade against AOC, others
By David Aaro | Fox News


Conservative actor James Woods returned to Twitter on Thursday night and didn't hold back.

He immediately criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's explanation of a popular, yet misunderstood U.S. phrase at a House Oversight subcommittee hearing on poverty earlier in the day.

Ocasio-Cortez spoke about the common expression "to pull yourself up by your bootstraps," which is used to describe achieving success without any outside help.

“You know this idea this metaphor of a bootstrap started off as a joke," she said. “Because, it’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces, it’s physically impossible. The whole thing is a joke."


In his first post in nearly 10 months, Woods included a video of her speech on Thursday night while sarcastically describing it as "blazing insight."


"I’ve tried so hard this past year to live without the wealth of knowledge available on Twitter, but this kind of blazing insight can be found nowhere else, so... I’m back! #AOCStillAMoron," he wrote.

Ocasio-Cortez made the statement during "A Threat to America’s Children: The Trump Administration’s Proposed Changes to the Poverty Line Calculation" hearing, where she claimed that the government and lawmakers have refused to acknowledge the severity of poverty in the U.S.

Woods was previously locked on the platform for violating Twitter rules against abusive behavior after tweeting "'If you try to kill the King, you better not miss.' #HangThemAll."

The veteran actor is best known for his roles in "Once Upon a Time in America," "Casino," "Contact," and "Any Given Sunday."

Great to hear. He is one of my favorites.

I just checked his timeline and he is in rare form:

I was on vacation awhile, avoiding the news. How’d the #Mueller thing work out? The #impeachment scam? Who won the #Iowa caucuses? Is #MichaelAvenatti still a contender for the Democratic nomination for President? How’s #JeffreyEpstein doing?

Welcome back, Jimmy! Love how he gives it to them with both barrels. Regarding the quote, the movie that first comes to mind when I hear his name is Diggstown.

I may just have to rent Diggstown tonight.

AOC, oh my. I usually don’t hate politicians this much. If she ran for POTUS I would be out in the streets. The definition of maximum left wing nut job.

It really annoys me that Twitter can maintain a stranglehold on the medium. The President has over 70 million followers. That number doesn't include people like me who follow without an account. That has to be many millions more. If the President dropped Twitter for a different platform, the alternate platform would soar while Twitter would be damaged greatly. I wish he would do it.

Frequently overlooked, but not by the Emmys, is Woods' starring role in "My Name is Bill W," a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie made for television in 1989. Great acting! Co-starring another terrific, but often overlooked James Garner!

Hmmm... I never unfollowed him and twitter says I'm still following him. However, I've not received any new tweets since his return. Do I need to do something to reactivate him?

Welcome Back James Woods .

He and Trump are the only ones that I will track on Twitter.

And once again we see that AOC is nothing more than a creation of the media in this country. At her roots she's a moron, but the media is going to try and push her into a position of being the American version of Margaret Thatcher and Mother Teresa combined. The worst thing that could ever happen to this nitwit is for us to completely ignore her.
