Your information is correct but you interpreted it incorrectly.

If she has 12 credits in economics she has a minor in economics (at best), not a double major.

She has a B.A. in International Relations. Period.

“a B.A. in International Relations”

That actually makes sense. That $240K education qualifies you to be exactly what she was: A BARTENDER.

She is a brilliant propagandist, for example, one of the most effective our country has seen in recent decades.

I call BS - I'd love to see an example of this alleged "brilliant propaganda," having heard nothing from her but shopworn leftist bromides (and that's when she's at her peak).

she understands her core audience and how utterly malleable it is. [...] is certainly a clever manipulator.

None of that requires more than minimal intelligence - sociopathy is the key ingredient.

Despite having somehow obtained a degree in economics from an accredited university

Meaningless - as a woman and a person of color, she was never going to be given a poor grade nor denied a degree at a modern progressive university.

her magnificent, uncorrupted level of abject ignorance.

With that I agree.

ROTFL!

[COBOL2Java]

Yes, friends and neighbors, AOC really, truly believes that, when someone advocates that folks “pull themselves up by their bootstraps,” they literally mean that folks need to bend over, grab their bootstraps and try to pull themselves up off the floor.

dumb as a post... I should not say that because the post actually does something.

If she has 12 credits in economics

Where do you get that figure?

[Bonemaker]

She’s dumb.

[Bonemaker]

Wonder how she would handle ESAD or FU?

[Agatsu77]

She is ignorant, and she DOES NOT have a degree in economics. Her degree is International Relations with 12 hours of economics classes. She has somewhere on the order of 2 to 4 economics classes to her name.

What a lying horse-faced sack of s^^t!

[Agatsu77]

Look it up! It isn’t really difficult.

When she was accused of laboring under an illusion, she responded that her boss was an Italian.

“..she understands her core audience and how utterly malleable it is. [...] is certainly a clever manipulator..,”

Onkel Addie was an Einstein with this skill.

The first time I heard “pull yourself up by your boot straps” I actually gave it a try. I also figured out it was impossible, but I was five years old.

[Leep]

also, ignorance about American culture.
And not just select representation of culture that get all the attention.
Once upon a time Polish, German, Irish had very distinct cultures. I’m certain she has no interest in those cultures.
Much less any kind of connection to all the various cultures that made America.

She has the same tunnel vision and skewed views of your typical no nothing leftard.
The past is gone..it’s good because to her it was all racist and bad ..all that is ..in her pea brain..is NOW.

[Alberta's Child]

From the RedState link in Post #16 ...

She took 12 credit hours in economics, in classes like "Economics of Less-Developed Regions," as part of her international relations degree.

[Alas Babylon!]

– Don’t ever say “bottoms up!” to her in a bar, unless you want things to get real.

Ah, but now you will see her REAL worth.

She took 12 credit hours in economics

According to a tweet by "Donny Ferguson" who did not appear to source his claim.
