The most important quality AOC has in her favor is her optics.
If she were a blond, blue-eyed American young lady and made the same inane comments daily (”New party, who dis?”), she’d have been laughed off the stage as the dumbest blond of all time months ago.
Instead, the leftist media has embraced her, given her super-star status, and supplied her with an open microphone so she can continue to embarrass herself and the Democrats till kingdom come or until the men in the white coats finally come to end the circus.
Supposedly she has an economics degree cum laude from Colombia. Based on her statements related to economics, a degree from Columbia is of very little value now. I’m guessing she got slid through because she’s Puerto Rican. i.e. “a woman of color”.
Don’t put it past the Deep State to have her whacked, then run a campaign to make a martyr of her.
I consider AOC’s comment of “who dis” to Lieberman to be on the same level as telling him to “go @@@@ yourself”. Little better than Tlaib calling Trump a MF’er.
Yes They have proven they wi
L stop at nothing.
“AOC told Anderson Cooper in an interview that those making over $10 million a year should be taxed at 70-percent to support her “New Green Deal” aimed at lowering carbon emissions.”
Screw the “New Green Deal”, but I have NO ISSUE with confiscating wealth from people at those income levels, as they include the America-hating tech bosses and many others like them.
I’m sick of our party protecting them and their tax rates. If they love Democrats so much, they can go to that party for lower taxes - perhaps they’ll learn something if they do.
