Full title: Ocasio-Cortez Rebuffs ‘Fact-Checkers,’ Says The World Ending In 12 Years Was ‘Dry Humor’

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez complained Sunday that GOP fact-checkers were taking her “dry humor” literally.

“This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and ‘fact check’ it,” she tweeted. “Like the ‘world ending in 12 years’ thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from ‘The Office’ so who knows.”

(AOC tweet)

And when Ocasio-Cortez first made the claim, she certainly appeared to be playing up the absurdity of the statement for effect.

Well, if AOC wants us to assume her idiotic remarks are nothing but sardonic humor, she needs to show enough knowledge and intelligence in overwall, that we can recognize her wit.

Ah - another to add to my list of leftie weasel phrases used when they get caught making statements that would be trumpeted as outrageous or lies had they come from conservatives - “dry humor” - to go with “taken out of context”, “misunderstood”, “poorly stated” and the rest......

It’s Maddow talking about Johnson. It’s in the beginning. The link probably brought you to the middle.

If it was humor where is the funny part?


When McConnell called a Senate vote on her Green Bill. He’s probably still laughing.

“Social intelligence” = a fabricated term used by someone of marginal intelligence — usually an IQ in the 85-95 range — to pretend he or she has some kind of superior intellectual capabilities that cannot be measured.

after much thought, if that’s possible with her, she realized she’d just term limited herself.

Albeit misspoken, but dry humor nonetheless.

A bit of a resemblance, but the one on the right is better looking

So the Green New Deal is a joke too? The joke is on the voters who elected her.

It was hysteria far more extremist than the supposed excesses of the “Red scare”.

And today we are inundated with even more public Communists who’s goal is to take down Western civilization and enslave us all to the State.

This cannot possibly be true because the Left has no sense of humor.
