AOC blames Republicans not wearing masks for shutdowns
Fox News ^ | 12/12/2020 | Caitlin McFall

Posted on 12/12/2020 4:19:01 AM PST by Onthebrink

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to social media Friday night for a “Cooking Q&A” to answer questions and update her followers on what is happening with COVID-19 relief – a practice she has exercised since entering office in 2018.

Ocasio-Cortez has used the sessions with her followers, as a time to vent and speak to her young base in a way officials in political office have never done in the past – something that members from both parties have been critical of.

But the New York Democrat, often deemed a socialist by her critics, used the opportunity to voice her frustration at Republicans who do not want to see communities re-shutdown as the pandemic spikes in regions across the country.

As I wrote elsewhere, lest anyone think otherwise, we are seeing a SEASONAL RISE in cases and fatalities, and not a "surge.

The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus. Even non-viruses gonna non-virus.

The only thing that will cause an abatement is the vernal equinox, not a deepened loss of liberty.

“..often deemed a socialist by her critics,”

She claimed that title herself, no? Fox News really caved to the leftists. Second article so far this morning with the manipulative language.

This globalist should be quiet or people might notice that out of government and politicians, only Republican officials nationalists working for the trump cause are getting sick. If you don’t count the thousands of her constituents killed by her friend Andrew cuomo sending the Covid+ aged to their deaths in nursing homes, to infect other residents, where the staff had improper PPE, bypassing two huge temporary hospitals we sent him

~ half of the reported 14K Covid 19 deaths in Illinois are in long term care facilities. We have been hovering around 50% since this started. If masks did anything, I would expect better numbers.

We live in Maryland but decided to grab a hotel in DC last night. You wouldn’t believe all the masked lemmings around here. I mean everyone on the streets walking in fear.

Except us

How does she jnow who is Republican and who is not. I mean does she supopose every white person she sees is reoublican.

AOC is a bashibazouk, a psychopomp whose role is to take the ferriman money as she conveys the damned across the River Styx. That’s what a psychopomp is, and she is exactly that, s whining effing psychopomp.

Obama is a psychopomp. So is Joe Biden. Watch them collect their tolls and damn everyone to hell.

New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot posted a tweet on February 9 urging citizens to flock to Chinatown in large numbers to celebrate the lunar new year while suggesting that advice to avoid crowds was “misinformation".

Thanks for the new word (psychopomp). I had never encountered it, and apparently it’s unusual enough to trigger spell check. I like it.

Of course. If we would only OBEY and CONFORM why everything would be unicorns farting rainbows and gumdrops. Anything bad is always the fault of those terrible people who refuse to see how smart the left is, how they should be running everything. Those bitter clingers who keep using hurtful words and phrases like liberty, freedom, and personal responsibility. :-/

Wearing a mask outside is stupid. I've only seen one person around here doing that - a young woman walking her dog. My dog and I passed her going the other way on the other side of the street. It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud at her.

Seriously folks, wake TF up. This isn't about any flu bug from China. At first the story was all we needed to do was lock down and wear masks for a couple of weeks, a few at most. All to "flatten the curve" and get us past this. That was what, 38, 40 weeks ago? If wearing masks inside, where we're in close proximity, breathing the same air had worked we'd be done. If masks don't work or don't work well inside then outside with even more distance and far more dispersed and diluted air masks are going to be even less effective. (assuming they are to any degree under any circumstances)

If you wear a mask outside thinking it is going to protect you or others... Well, sorry if this hurts your feelings but you need to hear it - you're an idiot in my book. I will never wear a mask outside - unless it's cold and I'm walking my dog or riding my motorcycle. Then it'll be an SA neck warmer.

These lockdowns, mask mandates, open/close businesses, restrict this or that behavior at this or that business, step to the right, jump to the left, sit down, stand up, Simon says... IT IS ALL BS! There are political forces at work here watching, learning. They're saying to themselves "Hmm, now isn't that interesting how well that worked..." We are obviously being toyed with, experimented on. I don't want to see what direction they decide to push the Country in next. Time to push back. Hard.

I saw a short video of a DOJ official putting on a mask off to the side, walking to the podium , and then taking it off a few seconds later to talk. LOL

Someone needs to take this mouth piece of socialist shit and dump her in Venezuela if she thinks socialism is so great. She can take her socialist buddies with her.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sure makes some truly assinine statements. It is not just Republicans not wearing masks, that is obvious from what we see on television. See is proving that democrats are dumb!

I’ve been using it for a decade to refer to these liberal fascist Alinsky buggers.

Pyschopomp.

Leads to creative vocabulay.

Psychopompous.

Psychopomposity.

Psychopomp Syndrome.

Psychopompathetic.

Psychopomposis.

You can actually make the lefty ba$tards cringe.
