More Ocasio-Cortez: Low Unemployment Rate Is Because More People Have Two Jobs, You Know
Hot Air ^ | July 17, 2018 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 07/17/2018 1:33:14 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Jazz earlier described Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a gift to the GOP, but perhaps more accurately, she’s a gift that keeps on giving. So too for that matter is her appearance with Margaret Hoover on PBS’ Firing Line this weekend. Not only did she fumble an answer on the “Palestinian occupation,” Ocasio-Cortez managed to err completely on a basic economic question — despite her supposed expertise in the subject:

Socialist Ocasio-Cortez confronted with booming economy & low unemployment numbers.
She says "Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs” and "Capitalism has not always existed in the world and will not always exist in the world.” pic.twitter.com/dxIqwqZn89— Benny (@bennyjohnson) July 16, 2018

The 2024 candidate of the Bolshevik wing of the Democrat party (they will be split into Bolshevik and Menshevik factions by then).

Two. Two. Two stupid statements in one!

"Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs” and "Capitalism has not always existed in the world."

She's the Democrat dream candidate. As stupid as Biden, but female.

Once you have a job, it doesn’t lower the unemployment rate if you have twenty others.

Every second job you have does mean that one other person may not have one.

She really is a brain trust isn’t she.

You know, that’s just stupid enough to work on liberals.

I wish I were kidding.

How can we possibly prevail against such a steel-trap mind?

We’re doomed!

Ahh, sweetie pie, you’re getiing the Trump economy confused with the Obama economy which created mostly part time jobs due to one of the many stupid provisions of Obamacare.

I figured she’d win and be in Congress, but I see now that Pelosi’s boy Crowley is still on the ballot.

Kooky Sandy may not win.

Even MORE stupid than Biden...which really takes some doing.

She is also a gigantic liar; right out of the Hilary mold.

This woman ranks as one of certainly , if not, the stupidest human being ever to have existed. “Capitalism has not always existed in the world’’. Honest to God that is probably the stupidest thing I think I've ever heard. In one breath takingly profoundly idiotic comment this woman has denied one of the obvious facts of the history of life on this earth.

She won a primary with less that 20% of those who COULD vote, actually turning out to vote, against a guy who hardly campaigned at all. LOL

He's still on the ballot and some poor shnook GOPer is too.

Will she win the seat? Nobody knows and if she keeps on talking like this, she may not.

I think “unemployment” is based on the number of people applying for, and/or receiving, Unemployment Benefits.

So, if you have five jobs, and are not receiving benefits, it can only count for one job.

This little chickie sounds like my millennial grandchildren with her lack of knowledge about anything other than democrat talking points. She reminds me of those videos where college students are stopped on the street and interviewed about government...most are dumb as a rock about government, politics, and America.

We should rename her, and David HOgg, “Dumb and Dumber”.
