Conservatives mocked Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she cited her high school science fair in a Twitter spat with Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
Ocasio-Cortez kicked off the exchange by criticizing President Donald Trump’s decision to name Vice President Mike Pence as the head of the Coronavirus task force, saying that he did not believe in science.
Cruz quickly responded by asking the freshman congresswoman a series of scientific questions that were at odds with her ideology — including a query about Y chromosomes.
Ocasio-Cortez responded with a few insults and her resume — and among the scientific achievements, she listed her high school science fair.
Ocasio-Cortez’s conservative critics were not impressed with her accomplishments.

Ted Kennedy died 11 years ago. More than likely she was a HS senior in her LAST year of interning. I’m sure she had all kinds of important policy making jobs.
How dumb is she to so grossly embellish her CV when it is now stupid easy for anyone to check the veracity of her statements?
I'd say, donkey-faced. She is the face of the party.
Her mustache is almost as thick as Uncle Rico’s!
She has exhibited some very pleasant curves.
Saw this earlier today. ROFL!
Was that her actual project?
She probably couldn’t figure out the potato clock.
Besides her other obvious deficits, she is a smartass. Everything she says is sarcastic, snarky, or passive-aggressive.
Chick’s got issues, and self-esteem tops the list no matter how big an act she puts on.
I often just assume everybody has the same cultural reference points as I do.
Uncle Rico is a character from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. He has become the iconic representation of a person who still tries to bask in the glory days of high school and constantly talks of the times he was almost great.
He could have won state.
Like Al Bundy?
From cult classic movie, “Napoleon Dynamite.”
Not for everyone BUT I find it funny as heck.
Exactly! Al Bundy was Uncle Rico before Uncle Rico.
Science fairs are a joke anyway. My kid won the prize one year with an old experiment I remembered from Psych 101: You give people a list of words to try to recall later. Some are kind of bland but some have emotional weight.
Surprise! Everyone remembers the ones with the emotional weight better than the others!
She called all her friends the night before the project was due and had them do the test on their family.
Or do something that erupts. They always love those.
Probably the tried and true volcano with baking soda and vinegar.
Her first mistake was to engage in a battle of wits with Ted Cruz.
Her second mistake was to keep the conversation going.
Again, I’m going to play the nasty article/Twitter nanny. One of the worst things about all tweets is how other writers feel compelled to cut and paste them, often repeatedly, along with quoting them. This article abounds in that affliction with the abuse being equal, an abuse that renders it borderline unreadable. The better, far more readable, way to do it is to quote a tweet and add a link so the quote can checked. Then continue to write the article. That way the writer produces an article that flows and is easy to read and understand.
This is the way other writers do it. If a lawyer, for example, is writing a brief he or she will quote a relevant case, give a citation, and go on with the brief. He or she will not quote and cite the case and then include a direct physical copy in the brief.
Oh, Hell, with those teeth she ought to go down to the border, find every Corona virus infected illegal alien migrant possible and let them all in by chewing through the razor wire.
That said, the interchange is interesting. She knows the significance of chromosomes in plants. The issue that she has to face is whether she will let the science of human chromosomes XX and XY and the inextricable connection to gender. Yes, there a couple of very rare variants, but the frequency is so low that it doesn't help the left’s agenda. I'd like to see how she handles this problem from a scientific point of view.
A second issue is that without civil discourse with a willingness to be data-driven, nothing changes. Ben Shapiro is right: Facts don't care about your feelings. Sadly, humans frequently hold on to conclusions not supported by the available data.
“Ted Kennedy died 11 years ago. More than likely she was a HS senior in her LAST year of interning. I’m sure she had all kinds of important policy making jobs.”
It being Teddy, and she being as physically attractive as she is, I suspect he and BJ had a number of “special assignments” for her that she willingly and happily performed.
