Will the media ever call out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ignorance?
Washington Examiner ^ | August 11, 2018 | Eddie Scarry

I know it’s racist to call LeBron James dumb, but what about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

The New York Democratic congressional candidate got at least some real questions during an interview this week on CNN. If weren’t for Ocasio-Cortez being an attractive minority, the rest of the media would be calling her the next Sarah Palin.

Democrats, if they’re ethnic and look good on TV, typically get one question from the press: “Are you running for president?”

It’s the sole reason Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey are considered “top contenders” for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

Cuomo asked Ocasio-Cortez basic questions about her political positions, like whether she supported Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House speaker — “We gotta take a look at what’s going on," Ocasio-Cortez said — and how the U.S. would pay for multitrillion-dollar universal healthcare, to which she questioned why we don’t consider “the cost of all the funeral expenses of those who died” because we don’t have universal healthcare.

She sure isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, that is for sure. Brings up memories of past beauty pageants, when she gives her opinions.

If not POTUS, then Treasurer Secretary for sure.

Will journalists/media ever call her out? How could they? They are every bit as stupid as this pretentious scam artist.

How did someone with a double digit IQ get into BU? You all know the answer.

She won the primary and therefore by definition can not be ignorant. She is, like Anita Hill, a well educated woman

Let’s not kid ourselves, she’ll fit right in. We have lawmakers who think Guam might tip over if we put too many troops there. One didn’t know there was a law against entering the country illegally. I’m sure we can come up with many more anecdotes.

Did they call out Chavez and Sean Penn’s ignorance and stupidity?

They never called out Obama's ignorance, there should be no expectation that they will ever call out this young fool's, either.

Lying that she was poor Latina. From her terrible orthodontistry alone, you can tell she's from a solid upper middle-class family.

The Democrat Incumbent she beat in the Primary with a 20% vote turnout is still on the November ballot as an Independent. I wonder if he will campaign to be reelected and if Donora will back him?

"Will the Media ever call out..."

Did they ever call out Obama's "birth certificate"?

The Rose Law Firm's Brigadoon Papers?

Juanita Broaddrick? Kathleen Willey? Paula Jones?

You're talking about a fanatical Propaganda Machine.

Ocasio-Cortez reminds me of an HR person at a certain engineering company.

The astronauts put a flag on Mars. . .on their way back from the Moon, I guess.

Media's a wing of the democrat party... dems feed 'em stories based on 'intelligence' all Americans pay billions of dollars to collect.

Kind of like 'speeches' by the Clintons... thinly disguised bribes.
