Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said America was turning into a fascist society in response to a heckler at a Bernie Sanders rally.
"It is fascism that we're evolving into," the New York Democrat told the disrupter in Los Angeles Saturday before admitting the distraction had her "thrown off."
Ocasio-Cortez, 30, had been quoting the speaker before her, Harvard Divinity School professor and left-wing activist Cornel West, who once said, "Justice is what love looks like in public."
Ocasio-Cortez, who came to Congress in January after beating a member of the House Democratic leadership in a primary, riffed on West's theory.
"Establishing a loving society in the United States of America" is not "an irrational, overly feeling, sympathetic statement," she said. Rather, it's the pursuit of "an advanced society." And an advanced society, Ocasio-Cortez said, guarantees healthcare and tuition-free college and trade schools, among other benefits.
"What we are living in now is not an advanced society," she said.

To a murderous, totalitarian, dictatorial Stalinist, everyone who isn’t a murderous, totalitarian, dictatorial Stalinist, is a fascist.
A d her and Bernie are trying to speed it up.
But I like her body. Just wish she’d shut up.
Well, she’s doing her best to drive us that direction.
She is just working on redefining the word fascist.
One of many ways the Left (which is just plain evil) perverts the truth.
for once I agree with her and it is coming from her party
And your party, Democrat, is leading the fascist charge.
AOC is evolving into an absolute moron....oh wait... she’s already there.
Hmm, have to say I agree with her, but not for the reason she thinks...
“negative IQ”
Funny! But that still overstates her intelligence.
She wont be happy until she gets her little Jetson car to buzz around in. Hers will run on green tea
