Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggested on Wednesday that The New York Times, often criticized for having a liberal bias, was trying to attack the left in one of its stories about her.

"There will always be powerful interest in promoting the idea that the left is losing power 1 way or another," the New York congresswoman tweeted on Wednesday. "The big way they try to dismantle the left isn’t to attack it, but to gaslight & deflate it."

Won’t be surprised to see her as a 1 or 2 term House critter.

I bet she’s even a lousy bartender.

When you enemies are fighting amongst themselves, let them.

It’s hard to know who to dislike more, AOC or NYT?

If she continues antagonizing Pelosi she'd better hire a food taster and stay far away from Ft Marcy Park.

Awe Shucks, dislikely them equally!

Well she’s right - the media has been gaslighting the American people for ages. Just like the politicians have been catfishing us for ages.

"Gaslighting" is one of those leftist terms they've picked up in the last couple of years. They are all so proud they've learned this new-to-them term and they use it to describe everything they don't like. Then they congratulate each other with the annoying use of the word "this" for using dopey buzzwords.

Goofy Trendoid Liberal #1 - "The cryptofascists of the right are using dog whistles to gaslight their gerrymandered constituencies."
Goofy Trendoid Liberal #2 - "This."

Have you ever noticed that these new Democrats don’t even go into their districts anymore and talk to their constituents? Rarely even hold town halls or meet with local and state officials? They’re using their status as celebrities now.

“suggests paper is trying to ‘gaslight’ the left”

This reads like Mad Magazine. Her backwardness gives angels their wings.

The difference between her head and the pumpkins at the produce stands? The pumpkins will someday have a light inside them.

“”The big way they try to dismantle the left isn’t to attack it, but to gaslight & deflate it.””

I’ll bet if you look up that phrase it might say “see inside beltway jargon”.

Actually it is good when zealots like AOC talk like this as it indicates they are veering even further away from what real people think and care about.

Probably yammers non-stop.
