When Ocasio-Cortez isn’t busy bashing pro-life supporters, she’s trying to invoke the Bible when trying to push an interest rate cap bill with fellow communist in the Senate, Bernie Sanders. Typical Democrat slime.

Usury – aka high interest – happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions).
Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill. 😇
Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people. https://t.co/h7FxTaMxKb

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on Thursday suggested that the Bible backs up her proposal to impose a 15% federal cap on credit-card interest rates.
“Usury — aka high interest — happens to be explicitly denounced in the Bible (& in many other religions),” the freshman Democrat said in a tweet. “Looking forward to having the religious right uphold their principles + sign onto my bill. Unless of course they’re only invoking religion to punish women + queer people.”
Ocasio-Cortez is correct that the Bible contains multiple verses condemning usury and charging interest on loans. Deuteronomy 23:19, for example, says, “You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest.”
