What was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doing, making a third Democratic response to Trump's wall speech?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is making herself an even bigger headache to her fellow Democrats, giving a wild third response to President Trump's speech, which pretty well eclipses the Democrats' carefully crafted messaging.

Which shows just what a mess the Democrats are these days, and how she's happy to be their problem.

~snip~

But that was the least of it. Now we have incoming, buck-private-ranked, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighing in for a third Democratic response, the voice of the radical left, and her messaging was way out in left field compared to the other two. Pelosi and Schumer, whatever the weakness of their message, did try to come off as mainstream and compassionate so as to win voters over.

~snip~

Then Ocasio-Cortez barged in. Here's the video (which doesn't have a 'share' function or I would post it). Ocasio-Cortez uttered the wild stuff that incenses most voters, the stuff that Pelosi and Schumer were trying to avoid. She defended illegals, calling the lawbreakers "acting more in an American tradition" than actual law-abiding Americans, and ignored Americans' concerns about illegal immigrant crime, saying her concern was for illegal migrants' fear of apprehension. She yelled that Trump was a human right violator, she blamed Trump for a flu-infected child's death in ICE custody, and she didn't even pay fake tribute to slain-by-illegals Officer Ronil Singh out in central California. She argued for the interests of lawbreaking foreigners above actual rule of law, making Democrats look not just unreasonable, but un-unified. Worst of all, she upstaged Pelosi and Schumer, hogging valuable camera time from what they had expected would be talking heads analyzing their own remarks. As she threw her verbal bomblets into the arena, she made the whole thing about herself. Shadow Speaker, as American Greatness writer JulieKelly observed earlier? Sure looks like it.

AOC is the true face of the Rat party.

To me it’s pretty simple.

Chuck and Nancy were an EPIC FAIL. Brain-addled fossils who can no longer carry forward their party’s warped message.

As their brightest rising star she saw the opportunity for a power grab, and she took it.

She should do all of her communicating by interpretive dance.

“Bob, I think what she’s saying there is ‘I want a ticket to Venezuela’ or else she’s got a spider in her leotards.”

I expect that Pelosi will nip this newbie in the bud pretty quickly, but I expect AOC to fight it, a little. She (AOC), believes she might be able to pull a fast one with all the social media "love," but committee assignments, or lack thereof, will give AOC the real power.

Pass the popcorn, should be fun to watch.

I actually find her and The Bern likable in a way. They aren’t ashamed of their beliefs. Then don’t try to sneak stuff past people, knowing that it’s not politically expedient publicly admit the stuff they want to do, like Pelosi, Schemer, etc.

Cortez is starting to remind me of that little dog in Mask after it puts the mask on.

Exactly. AOC is young and foolish and hasn’t learned how to say one thing but do another just yet.

It think it’s some kind of human wave attack. Maybe next up will be Beto “think of me as Hispanic, even though I’m not” O’Rourke. Then comes Chelsea Clinton. Eventually we’ll hear from Anthony Weiner, live from prison.

I think this is very good for Conservatives.

We need a bold contrast, as Reagan stated.

Conservatives should never accept being Progressive-light.

Push that narrative out there - let the entire third world in, and Socialism for Everyone! Let it be the Democrats' program!

It’s Huey Long ‘Share the Wealth’ all over again.

Roosevelt tried to make socialism appetizing for those that wanted nothing to do with it.

Long knew that was a wasted effort and drew a huge following...until he got shot.

Exactly. San Fran Nan and The Schmuck were a total bomb last night so their globalist handlers threw AO-C out there. This dunce is being propped and bankrolled too. I think the Deep State is building up a new RAT faction led by Miss Ocasio-Cortez and the Young Radicals to compete with the one headed by Schmuck and Pelousy! The millennials are turning off the older establishment RATS so expect AO-C to be more prominent as time goes on!
