Actually that just is a fact. And Ocasio-Cortez wasn't terming "communist" a racist word. Just a fact that white supremacist do tend to lean far right politically and call those more liberal than them "communists" even if the person's views aren't. People who are of an extreme often try to pigeonhole any one they disagree with at the polar opposite extreme. Simple people like to keep it simple.
By the way, in the news....
The phrases "send them back" or "go back to where you came from" etc are racist. Anyone writing or saying that in the context currently in the news or leading a gathering where such things are chanted and then encourages that and doesn't stop it and address that is enabling and encouraging some of the ugliest aspects of a society.
