The latest left wing media darling is Alexandra Ocasio Cortez. She defeated incumbent Joe Crowley in the democrat primary by approximately 16,000 to 12,000, which, given that each House district represents about 700,00 people, is what you might call a very low turnout. Let's take a look at the new media sweetie. Her platform reads like this:
a call for the abolition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE). Ocasio-Cortez championed a single-payer, Medicare-for-All health-care system, declared that housing is a right, and called for sweeping criminal-justice reform. And she identified as a proud member of Democratic Socialists of America.She's not really from Brooklyn. She claims to be another poor kid from the Bronx, but she grew up in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country:
In a fun coincidence, Yorktown, which contains Yorktown Heights, is also home to a 436-acre state park named after – yes, one Donald J. Trump.She was a Bernie Sanders organizer. She is virulently anti-Trump (as any Communist would be) and claims the GOP is gaslighting the country:After high school, Ocasio-Cortez studied international relations and economics at Boston University and worked for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA). Only after college did Ocasio-Cortez return to the Parkchester complex, where she launched Brook Avenue Press, a publishing group aimed at improving the public image of the Bronx.
Westchester County – which the Washington Post, in a glowing profile on Ocasio-Cortez, describes as only “middle class” – ranks #8 in the nation for the counties with the “highest average incomes among the wealthiest one percent of residents.” According to the Economic Policy Institute, the county’s average annual income of the top one percent is a staggering $4,326,049.
Yorktown Heights, specifically, offers a sharp contrast from Bronx living. According to USA.com, the town’s population is 81 percent white, and median household income is $96,413 – nearly double the average for both New York state and the nation, according to data from 2010-2014.
When asked about the upcoming Supreme court nomination Ocasio-Cortez said, “You know, for me, I’m a fighter. I’m always one for a fight. Especially when we see what the GOP has done. I feel like they’re kind of gaslighting the country. When they want to fight, when they want to bend and break the rules and stretch the Constitution to its limits, they’ll do it, but when they’re on the other side of the table, it’s, whoa, decorum.”Naturally, she offered no examples, but she does want democrats to stop Trump's next SCOTUS pick, no matter who it is.

Great headline. Great photo of the liar.
Stop yakking about how she LOOKS in a flippin’ photograph.
Sheesh.
Use the Leftist tactic and show the worst picture of your Political Enemy. It’s about time we fight fire with fire.
Admittedly, she does clean up pretty good, unlike most of her Democrat Female Colleagues.
She is a shoe in, so this will be a long term adventure.
She has the look of her father.
Laz, man.
Where you been?
Confirms my belief that she does, in fact, have crazy eyes.
Some photos of her seem to show a family resemblance to old 'bugeyes' cory booker. Same crazy eyes look.
Laz, do you suppose anyone here gets the play on words with the 1943 novel “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”?
I wouldn’t have heard of it either, except it was mentioned in a Bugs Bunny cartoon of the same era.
Googled it. Quite an autobiographical tale & a bestseller that year. FWIW.
Bear in mind that the doofus Joe Crowley blew $4 million in the primary and only turned out 10,000 votes out of a 700,000 population...
Crazy in the head, crazy in the bed.
Nancy will put the beat-down on her when it suits her purposes.
"Crazy in the head, crazy in bed" is the saying.
Besides, her mustache is too big.
