Wise beyond her years, she is.

But bullying is bullying, no matter the weapon you use. Selective quoting from the Bible is just intimidation, and saying 'I am allowed to, because religious freedom' is just a smoke screen.
Bullying is still bullying, it is still attempted intimidation, quoting from the Bible with evil intent behind it is still evil.
Be careful of it and fight against it, lest you wander too far from the true message from Jesus' life and end up in another Jonestown drinking the Kool-aid.

She has a way with words, our AOC!
(Can we clone her a hundred times over, and replace all world leaders with her, please?)
