AOC: "I looked at this recipe and I needed basil, and I was going home and I get off the subway station and I go into the grocery store and there’s no basil, no fresh basil in the grocery store. So then I walked to another grocery store two blocks down, no fresh basil. I was very stubborn about making this recipe that evening, and I must’ve been — I must’ve walked around for an hour in our neighborhoods, visiting four or five grocery stores, and there was no basil, no fresh basil in any of them. And it just goes to show, it’s very — it’s very illustrative of the difficulties that we have in our communities in accessing fresh produce."
White asparagus? Racist!
I wouldn’t waste my holy basil on her. Or even sweet basil. Lol I do love the smells of fresh herbs.
I wonder what she was cooking.
BS. Where she’s from, she could easily get a goat’s head with an apple and extra fresh basil.
The “Everyone gets a ribbon” generation in a nutshell.
It’s even cheaper and easier to just invent problems, and complain about them and tie them to ‘racism’, in order to get attention.
I cannot believe the level to which our national discourse has fallen.

The phrase “dumbing down” comes to mind. Ha.
Did she think these lockdowns wouldn’t cause shortages of anything and everything.
People are starving in developing countries due to these lockdowns and she’s worried about fresh basil?
Wait until she implements her new green deal...that’s when the real shortages will begin.
Her goose?
GEEZE Louise why in the hell doesn’t she just buy a basil plant and let it grow in her kitchen she is such a MORON!!
According to her story, she has five grocery stores in her neighborhood. Apparently not an Italian part of town.
She apparently grew up rather ‘privileged’.
All of this pretending about being poor and ignorant is a put-on (well, maybe not the ignorant part...)
It’s not that easy. You need to plug in the grow light, add water.....the list is endless. Green privilege.
She walked around for an hour? AOC doesn’t have a cellphone?
Everyone knows black people hate basil.
Didn’t she also have a garden plot this summer? Promoting organic, grow your own?
Hell, why not start a vertical garden in the condo? She could even recycle the water, after she waters the crop...heat it up on her solar powered range and use it for her daily bath.
Showering is evil...
And how about personal grooming? Looks like she does a lot of grooming.
I doubt that is environmentally friendly. She should stop shaving...even her lip.
And what about wardrobe? A definite climate change factor.
Walk to work naked to save the earth. She’s a New Yorker...what’s the worst that could happen?
A couple frost bitten nipples and no police to save you from the guy who is “just trying to keep you warm with body heat”
45 million unemployed don’t give a sh!t about basil.
Perhaps but I don’t use Basil....prefer Parsley.
Vote for AOC, and there will be a basil in every pot. And that’s all that will be in it.
Geeze, I’ve been to every store in our area, and can’t find scrapple or hog jowls; must be Yankee prejudice!
I thought she studied economics, so would understand basic supply & demand: no demand, so no supply.
Then she saw a cauliflower and screamed colonialism!
But lotsa great fish. Loved it.
