She’s ripe to be the butt of a mew light bulb changing joke.

That article starts with the 12 credit premise and digs deeper. He shows screenshots of AOC’s listing in the Boston University Alumni Directory.

The author says:

“this author is also a graduate of Boston University who initially majored in International Relations and has familiarity with how the school is structured”

Personally, I don’t know the facts, but this seems pretty credible.

AOC is dangerous, very much a future threat and anyone who discounts her and her followers is a fool.

Not understanding metaphors or sayings and taking them literally is a symptom of mental illness.

NOT an economics degree! She lies. Her degree is in International Relations with an emphasis in economics. Sort of like “Economics For Poets”.

And we all know what “relations” means...

She took 12 credit hours in economics

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

And the article's link to Donny's tweet yields this:

"Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!"

Boston University should be so embarrassed they give her money back.

She’s suffering from Formal Thought Disorder.

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

Truth in what you say. Once, in NYC, I was served by a English bartender whom claimed a degree from the London School of Economics...and it wasn't in .a posh joint

She once hand carried a bird into a pawn shop and negotiated with the dealer that it was worth twice as much as any two that were outside.

It's common in autism. And bear in mind that not all autistics are savants.

While it’s easy to mock her..i think many are aware she is not to be dismissed.
She has the qualifications to be a leader in the dim party.
She is unbelievable stupid and at the same time bold.
A big plus in the democrat party.

She is dangerous because she appeals to the dim populous base of millions of other arrogant ignoramuses.
And she is “cute”

Some people are born stupid while others work at it every day of their life.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a stupid woman,

Yeah, sorry. Not buying that.

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

Based on most crap coming from universities, this means nothing

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

Yup. It holds up the turtle.

My dentist went to BU. It is one of the best dental schools in the world.
Every time I go in for an appointment I raze him about AOC graduated from the same college as him. He said to me one time: she is crazy. He is Chinese(from Taiwan)The good China.

AOC asks the question: “If money doesn’t grow on trees how come banks have branches?’’
