Politician says Democrats must save America from the 'depths of darkness'

Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sees her recent election victory as a watershed moment in world history akin to landing on the moon.

The New York Democrat told reporters on Friday that once again the U.S. is “at the brink, at the cusp of an abyss” that requires citizens of a special kind of mettle. She says that such an elite group exists — and that she and other newly elected Democrats are in it.

“This is not just about a Green New Deal, this is about a new deal for the United States of America,” the 29-year-old said at a “Sunrise Movement” press conference in Washington. “Because in every moment where our country has reached the depths of darkness, in every moment, when we were at the brink, at the cusp of an abyss, and we did not know if we could be capable of saving ourselves, we have.”

Most?

And honestly, she’s the smartest Democrat around. The media and all the other Leftists have had their say.

She’s the most visible one of them all.

It’s reassuring to think that this woman is going to try to lead Democrats somewhere, because they won’t get there.

Well, she is a space cadet.

She clearly took up space in college.

“It will be fun to watch Crazy Eyed Cortex frequently fall on her face!”

But only conservatives will see it. Remember, Obama wasn’t the brightest bulb in the pack, and the media had a good chunk of the public believe he was a genius.

The media will feverishly cover for this woman. Her looney statements will be ignored, or twisted to sound profound.

Do not underestimate the power of a motivated media.

The same was said about Barry, as he rose from no-where, yet he was president for 8 years.

Make no mistake. This woman would save the country from plunging into “the abyss” by killing anyone who doesn’t share her views if she could get away with it.

All Conservatives would be put into labor camps or killed.

I’m looking forward to at least 2 years of laughter from this creature. What a incredible self-centered poltroon.
