Ocasio-Cortez on discovering garbage disposals: ‘It is terrifying’
MarketWatch ^ | 05/07/2019 | Shawn Langlois

Posted on 05/07/2019 8:40:50 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

Ocasio-Cortez has previously been criticized for transparent attempts at cultivating her image as a poor girl from the Bronx. Newsmax host John Cardillo called her out last year for misleading the American people about her childhood. He tweeted this picture of her childhood home in Yorktown Heights, saying it’s “a far cry from the Bronx hood upbringing she’s selling”: The New York Democrat, never one to shy away from a Twitter feud, fired back, explaining how her mother scrubbed toilets so they could afford to live in that modest home, which apparently didn’t have a garbage disposal. “I grew up seeing how the zip code one is born in determines much of their opportunity,” she said in a tweeted response. “Your attempt to strip me of my family, my story, my home, and my identity is exemplary of how scared you are of the power of all four of those things.” As for her latest Instagram stream, the 29-year-old congresswoman couldn’t resist tossing a little jab across the aisle: “All you people telling me to reach in and grab whatever’s there are just Republicans trying to test my health insurance,” she said. “I’m onto you.”

Not only is she stupid, she's a narcissist on top of it. Hey, AOC! The only thing to be afraid of is that you have a vote in Congress and you waste everyone's time on crap proposals like the New Green Deal.

Many homes in those suburbs have septic tanks and disposals can be a problem

I’m surprised she hasn’t organized a building composting group for her balcony gardening.

I truly understand her terror.

To this day, every time I hear the vacuum I hide under the couch for hours.

And don't get me started on mailmen...

Yes they are legal in New York.

However, her mother lives in another State. Does she not have one either?

Residential garbage disposals were illegal in New York City until 1997.

Westchester has them. If I knew the address where she grew up I would look to see if the house had one.

She is a professional liar so I am just going to assume they knew what they were even if they didn’t have one

I think you used the wrong vowel there. “

Possibly, but then there are the terms of service....

She went to Boston University. Do they have garbage disposals there or is that some mystery item that terrifies there, too.

“No, they don’t. They’re not legal in NYS”

Not accurate. They were illegal in New York City until 1997. It was never state wide. NYC Building Sups. can still ban them if the don’t think the plumbing is up to snuff.

Oh, by the way, her media crucified HW Bush for commenting on laser scanners (still then new!) at a supermarket checkout station in 1992!

Was Cortez even born then?

Has this dingbat never heard of sewage treatment facilities?

"exemplary of how scared you are..."? America's Official Crackpot (AOC) actually went to college?

Lying b*tch.

Exactly. Whatever she’s trying to build up to here, it’s based on a bald-faced lie.
