Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk went after Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in an interview Thursday after the New York Democrat endorsed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for Speaker the previous day.
“This is what is so scary is that Ocasio-Cortez pretends to be the fighter for the people," Kirk, 24, the founder of Turning Point USA, said on "Fox & Friends." "Yet she represents an ideology that has destroyed cultures and destroyed civilizations and destroyed countries over the last 100 years."
"Of course, we're talking about democratic socialism, or just socialism in general, and Pelosi is bought and paid for by a lot of special interests," he argued. "But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fights for ideology that's even more harmful than those special interests.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who describes herself as a democratic socialist, endorsed Pelosi for Speaker on Wednesday in a tweet to her 1.3 million followers.
Ocasio-Cortez, 29, has become a rising star on the left, gaining considerable influence among the party's left wing after defeating 10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) in a primary earlier this year in New York's 14th District.
Her endorsement of Pelosi this week was seen as key for the longtime Democratic leader, bolstering her support among a crop of incoming progressive Democratic lawmakers as Pelosi seeks to retake the Speaker's gavel in the new Congress next year.
Kirk, a staunch President Trump supporter and frequent Ocasio-Cortez critic, founded Turning Point USA in 2012 while in college. The group describes its mission as "to educate students about the importance of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government."

This IS positive news. Young folks that still get it.
We should HOPE for a breakout Socialist party to get 20 percent of the vote on a third party ticket.
Just one more leftist. I think the degree of freakout over this freshman congresswoman is itself alarming.
It was braindead, bimbo ***holes like this Neanderthalette that caused her parents to leave their Puerto Rico ****hole and come to America in the first place. You can’t fix stupid.
We’ll see if the new crop of Dems (with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez front and center) will unseat Nancy Pelosi and her Old Guard or just become the next batch of followers to get in line behind her.
Democratic Socialism IS Naziism
Naziism IS Democratic Socialism
‘destroyed civilizations’. Yes, and murdered millions upon millions of people. Socialists treat them as though they’re nameless and faceless sacrifices paving the way to a better world. Just a statistic.
Same is true of all leftists. They just care so much about poor people that they want everyone to be that way.
It’s amazing that Charlie is only 24. Wonder if he wants to do politics.
He's probably smarter than that.
We should just call her “Occasional Cortex” from now, and be done with her.
I like Occasional-Kotex better but
it seems like she’s ALWAYS on the rag
Democratic as in Democratic Party but nothing
democratic about it
Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk have never been told, NO. They’ve never sat in the corner with their crayons and colored. The moron was actually taking part in a protest in Pelosi’s office. She is not going to sit quietly in the corner and speak only when spoken to. There are a few more like her and they’re not going to bow down to the Old Guard. And it will be glorious to watch them fight.
No, "democratic Socialism" is Communism.
Naziism IS Democratic Socialism
No, "Nazi" is short for the National Socialist Workers Party.
BOTH are left wing totalitarian ideologies.
Yes and no. Right now shes young and politically gambols about in sort of a cute way kind of like a puppy. This brings her followers. Unfortunately, shes a brain damaged pit puppy and will one day be old, ugly, vicious, uncontrollable, and leading her own pack of similarly brain damaged dogs.
Congressional Pubbies, nominate and vote for Ocasio Cortez for Speaker of the House. No demonrat is going to help America so let’s have some fun and damage the demonrats by putting their best on display and encourage internecine warfare within their ranks. Opprutunity like this doesn’t come often.
... So, shes given us the pillow case and a political rock to put in there with her before she gets chucked back into the swamp.
