Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a caricature of herself and only seems to dig the hole of verbal gaffes deeper with every passing day.
Take last Friday’s MSNBC Town Hall where she discussed her New Green Deal. To break things down, former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis suggested the left was in danger of becoming the thing it hated most. He suggested that the crowd in The Bronx cheering for AOC was the mirror image of the one at Trump’s recent rally who were cheering “AOC sucks.”
One may remember Bob Inglis calling out Donald Trump and his actions:
The Bronx crowd booed Inglis, all while Chris Hayes cautioned them, “You guys are making his point when you do that.” Enter AOC:
We are committed to policies that make American lives better and we’re actually talking about something substantive, we’re not calling anyone names. People say ‘Tea Party of the left’ and I find this phrase very interesting…because the grounding of the Tea Party was xenophobia, the underpinnings of white supremacy…Here’s a really big difference. The Koch Brothers funded the Tea Party and everyday people funded my campaign.”-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Oh no, she didn’t!
Yes, liberals, she did. She basically said the right is the “name-calling” party while she painted the “other-side” as xenophobic, white supremacists. Nope, democratic socialists like AOC don’t call people names! They don’t “run train”
As if this was not enough, she also opened the floodgates on the aftermath of 9/11/2001:
On the events of September 11th 2001 thousands of Americans died in one of the worst, the largest attack on U.S. soil and our national response, whether we agree with it or not, our national response was to go to war in one, and eventually two countries. 3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Where is our response?”-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Oh, yes, she did.
Uh. What was our response? Gallons upon gallons of bottled water sat on runways and in warehouses after Hurricane Maria, AOC. Guess you missed that memo. Not to mention this:
@AOC Please don’t put climate change in the same conversation with 9/11. Saudi pilots with planes are not causing climate change. You’re a native New Yorker. I’m stunned you would say or even think it. #NeverForget the heroes who died and are still dying

Standing on the graves of 9/11 victims and war veterans to promote your socialist ideologies. Why aren’t you so up in arms about helping the first responders. Totally disgusting. I’m ashamed to have to call you a New Yorker. The sooner you’re put out to grass the better.

Don’t call her naiive. Don’t call her stupid for making an ignorant comparison. Don’t call her idiotic. You see, if only we didn’t call one another names, our world would be a better place. If only we took the high road unlike those xenophobic, racist, sexist, nazi-bigots. I love that this town hall was in the Bronx and was laden with people cheering about the elimination of cow farts. Because folks who live in the city know so much about the dangers of farming cows and hamburger consumption, wouldn’t you think? I also love how name-calling the opposition is totally lost on those who are cheering the loudest.
AOC also went on to lament in this town hall that her life was “stressful”. Poor thing. I mean, she can’t even go out to a Bodega in her sweat pants anymore! The struggle is real in those Manolo Blahniks. The bullying and the name-calling makes it all so much worse.
Hey AOC , I was an air Traffic Controller for 29 years. I never thought this, but Everyone I talked says my job is the most stressful. Try talking to 10 airplanes with weather moving in, knowing there is 3000 people on these airplanes. And when you get home: bills, kids, wife.

Yea right–you work 3 days a week 4 hours a day–wish I were that stressed

Imaging being AOC and enduring all of the criticism she does daily. Of course, the woman needs time to hop on Instagram to cut the expensive cheese she just bought at Whole Foods in a big, deluxe apartment near the Navy Yard that she supposedly, months ago, could not afford. After all, everyone deserves bougie cheese. Even those who sit on their keisters in Mom’s basement. Note to those in opposition to AOC’s New Green Deal: do not try to ridicule and challenge her opinion as any opposition will be met with an insult to your intelligence and an air of superiority. And, simpletons, stop the name-calling! Now, go fly your planes and enjoy your day… you racist, bigoted, Bible-thumping, gun-toting, iceberg lettuce-burger-eating, evil-Capitalist cretins.

Not only is she name-calling, but that’s a flat-out LIE she’s telling there.
3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Another factoid. Because she doesn’t mean it in the literal sense of “3,000 people died after Maria, and some number of those was attributable to the Hurricane”. No, she intends you to get out of that statement “Hurricane Maria killed 3,000 people” and that’s a flat-out LIE.
You’re a native New Yorker.
I no longer giver her the benefit of the doubt. She’s LYING to gain power for her and her socialist brethren. Naivety is NOT the operative issue here.
Because folks who live in the city know so much about the dangers of farming cows and hamburger consumption, wouldn’t you think?
I say we cut off all meat commerce to their city. Let them eat concrete and tofu.
Poor thing.
Welcome to the real world, *****.
bougie cheese
Oh…. that is just … wrong. I hope that’s a shortened name, because that sounds… ugh.
We really, desperately, need to force several major cities to secede. Just put them out on their own. They might turn into the next Singapore. But, more likely, they’ll turn into a city-state version of Detroit. It’s either that, or wall them off a la Escape From New York. When they begin craving cow flesh again, we can start flinging it over the walls via trebuchet.
She’s only stressed from self-promotion and damage control from that self-promotion.
Her generation has a Jack Black worldview. I hate Jack Black movies. Pretty much the storyline of everyone is that, if you really, really, really, really want something really, really, really, really bad, you’ll get it. Your desire for the prize will override your lack of preparation, aptitude, work ethic, discipline, and perseverance. Despite the other people who have devoted thousands of hours in practicing skills, you’ll get the brass ring, simply because you really, really, really, really want it.
AOC must have developed her worldview watching Jack Black movies. Like the fantasy that your lust to be famous and #1 at something will win over your competitors’ preparation is akin to her declaration that having the right emotion is more important than having your facts in line. I’m concerned that she’s only the first in a long line of children entering politics. We need to seize control of the government before we vote to turn it over to these simpletons.
Cortez claims Congress amended the Constitution (22) to keep me from being re-elected.
Death successfully stopped my 5th Term as President, sweetheart. The 22nd Amendment was a couple of years later.
Listen doll, why not get one of your handlers to read you the Cliff Notes version of American History on weekends? Give copies to your pals Omar and Tlaib, too.
