Steve Bannon praises Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes for 'grit, determination, and fighting spirit'
Business Insider ^ | Jan 30 2019 | Sinead Baker

Steve Bannon praised Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Politico for her "combination of grit, determination, fighting spirit that you can't coach."

The praise may seem unusual, since Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described democratic socialist who decries the Trump administration, which Bannon once served in.

But other conservatives and Republicans praised her for the large platform she has built and her skill on social media.

One Republican representative told Politico: "I aspire to be the conservative AOC."

Bannon, in an interview with Politico published on Wednesday, said that Ocasio-Cortez, widely known as "AOC", has a competitiveness and ability which he admires.

"AOC has what I call 'gameness' or competitive heart — the combination of grit, determination, fighting spirit that you can't coach," Bannon said.

"You either have it or you don't, and she has it big league."

Of course she is.

She didn’t just show up in congress either. Like minded people elected her.

That’s what will bring CWII.

So did Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, K, Brezhev, Ho Chi Minh/Le Duan/Giap, Castro/Guevara, Hugo Chavez and other communists/Marxists like her, only they were smarter.

Bannon is “old news” so let’s move on to somebody of “current” interest, such as Roger Stone (oh boy did I pick one).

You would think people here in the first ten posts would have instead of “wowing” us with their “brilliant hot take” on it.

Her forte is mugging for media cameras.

The media would have swiftly Palin’ed her if she were an (R) like they did to the Covington Catholic boy. Rats keenly know that young voters are “the future” and they view fresh, young, Conservative “grit” as their greatest threat.

There’s something wrong with Bannon - I’m not sure what. Too bad.

AOC is the tard from da Bronx. I’ve known many tards who had grit and determination in spades. But their brains were mush.

Btw, Condoleezza falls into a tard category as well. Those so smart they are dumb. She had to be the most stupid person God every created with her asinine world view, “the Iraqis want democracy” to just mention one. A true idiot in the Bush vein and that is truly tarded.

"It’s easy to be AOC. She has a me-too chorus in the media, academia, and half her party. Trump had to overcome them, all the cheatercrats, and RINOs pulling in the other direction."

Excellent points.

Can’t believe how the media fawns all over that dumb broad. There is NO ONE on the right as dumb and flat-out ignorant as she is. In the media’s eyes it would instantly disqualify any Republican for office. Freaking hypocrites!

That actually does explain a lot on our side.

Take a hard look at the Dems in congress now. It resembles the UN general assembly of 3rd world thugs.

I think it’s funny, because who do we want to be front and center?

Bannon is praising her so that they will think she’s the greatest asset they’ve got.

She’ll drive voters away by the droves.

Excellent. I think she’s swell too...

“No wonder Trump got rid of this guy.”

And he ought to have a closed-door discussion with Kellyanne Conway about her loud-mouthed husband. Her choice, have him shut up or resign. Trump has been far too tolerant of a$$holes who demean him, and George Conway is the top of the heap.

Bannon is hinting to Republicans that they should fight like that.

The radical left wing BI ignore and hides this obvious PUPPET of a well organized Radical Socialist group with many Media Sympathizers .

She is dumb bartender who stole tips .
She was selected to run in a district with a low voter turn out but she was a PR nothing else .

Every day they decide what there Monkey says .
You can tell when she goes off script .

That phony lefty NYC mayor is with this group .

Bannon is a dope but we knew that. They are dangerous .
