U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called President Trump’s recent barb about her being a “young bartender” a compliment and lashed out at Amazon while speaking with constituents Saturday.
“There’s nothing wrong with being a bartender," Ocasio-Cortez said at a joint event in the New York City borough of Queens alongside New York state Sen. Michael Gianaris. “It’s so crazy to at once mock someone for being from a working-class background, for being a bartender, for shaming me for where I was born and where I’m from and on the other hand, when I lean into my identity and who I am and all of that, people are saying that’s not true either."
The freshman congresswoman said her work as a bartender gave her first-hand experience with health care issues, the New York Daily News reported. She said that unlike Trump, she bought into health care public exchanges.

Lots and lots of money was raised from political action committees controlled by Ocasio-Cortez and her campaign manager----
Saikat Chakrabarti----now her congressional chief of staff.
Saikat Chakrabarti then established an LLC----a for-profit company that does not require reporting its finances.
Apparently with all the scrutiny Chakrabarti has since closed his company doors.
Chakrabarti may have closed down the LLC....but are the company's bank accounts still open?
B/c the LLC bank accounts were used to convert campaign donations to spending money for those involved including AOC. (details below)
========================================
The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the "Brand New Congress PAC,"
<><> the "Justice Democrats PAC."
After mucho money was raised, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the "Brand New Campaign LLC,"
<><> the " Brand New Congress LLC."
Saikat Chakrabarti's LLC's (private companies), unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
NOTE WELL: it's a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named
entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors, etc.
SIPHONINGS A CINCH It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to
the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer "mis-spelled" your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.
AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
“when I lean into my identity and who I am and all of that,...”
She doesn’t know that she doesn’t know...that she’s not all of that.
All her ‘identity’ wont matter when they get ‘woke’ to the fact that the Dem party is responsible for 300 years of slavery and reparations will bankrupt her personally for that association. shes dumb all right, real dumb and racist.
True wisdom is found by trusting in the Bible’s Christ Jesus alone. Nothing more. Nothing less. Nothlng else.
“Anyone know what ‘.... we can’t just be allowed to govern by bullying’ means?”
Orange Man Bad.
Subject: Daylight savings time. A Socialist prospective.
“If we change our times with the sole intent of increasing the amount of daylight we receive, that’s an extra hour of sun shine that will warm the planet. That’s one extra hour per day of extra heat warming our already unstable planet. We need to repeal Daylight Savings Time as a primary measure to decrease the rate of climate change. Less hours of sun shine equal less heat hitting Earth’s surface. We’re running out of time!”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
” Life’s tough, Pilgrim, it’s tougher when you’re stupid” The Duke
Yes, well said!
Nothing wrong with being a bartender, that is quite true. However there’s entirely plenty wrong with a bartender who thinks she is the de facto leader of half the country.
There was a woman who ran against an incumbent in Kentucky a few election cycles ago and her opponent dug up that she had once worked as a Hooters Girl. The implied taunt was that only a brainless ditz could have worked at Hooters.
I said being a Hooters Girl is excellent training for being a member of Congress. You smile a lot at people you’d just as soon strangle, promise them things you know they’ll never get from you, act like you sincerely care about their trivial complaints, pay more attention to how you appear rather than how you perform. Come to think of it, it’s perfect training for politics.
Was there any difference between a Hooters Girl and John Edwards or Beto O’Rourke?
Excellent observation.
That cannot be an actual quote. I know she’s ignorant, but that’s galactic level stupidity.
And...a hooters girl main goal is to separate you from your money.
Well, hot damn! I just plugged in a lamp and paid for the electricity. I have first-hand experience with power generation issues!
The source for that quote appears to be this web page, from a satire website:
According to Proverbs, "The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom."
You can look it up.
This is absurd...if anything her experience with public exchanges should give her a better appreciation of how poorly Obamacare was implemented.
Not to mention the 'young bartender' comment Trump made was in reference to her pushing the Green New Deal.
