Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t believe it’s important to be FACTUALLY correct on issues

For a congresswoman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is turning out to be a pretty good dancer. And a pretty good Democratic Socialist.

While she and many in her party have lashed out at POTUS Donald Trump for alleged untruths and fudging of facts, Ocasio-Cortez admitted during a “60 Minutes” interview on Sunday with Anderson Cooper that it’s much more important to be “morally right” than factually correct.

“One of the criticisms of you is that your math is fuzzy,” Cooper said in regards to factual errors she has made in previous claims, something she dismissed as “missing the forest for the trees.”

No, the Democrats aren’t an organized political movement. They’re an organized criminal enterprise and should be prosecuted under the RICO statues.

I was paraphrasing Will Rogers (a movie star from 1930s), who said “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.”

I think the ineptness of the incumbent is an excellent demonstration of that. He just took his seat for granted and ignored everything so this stupid girl only had to get little over half of the 10% turnout primary to get her seat. She likes to pretend otherwise, but it is really just only ~15k votes that got her there.

it's the truthyness, the seriousness of the charge that counts

Years ago I worked, in the late 70's, I worked in a construction union in the Bronx. In an area that was called ‘’Fort Apache’’. These were the REALLY bad old days in NYC. The area was almost entirely Puerto Rican. In talking to a good many of them they believed the government owed them just about everything sustenance of life, for free. Some of the more radical among them believed it was, for some inarticulated reason because white people ‘’owed them’’.

It is often assumed otherwise, but the data shows these were the rich white people, who gave her this primary win. It wasn’t a hot contest. It was forgotten by everyone. I looked up the exact D primary turnout and it was just 11.8%.

An asteroid was named for her (”23238 Ocasio-Cortez”) by the International Astronomical Society after she won 2nd Place in a high school science fair...the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Her microbiology project focused on the effects of antioxidants on the lifespan of ‘ C. elegans’.
Then she went to Boston University, where her mind apparently became muddled by fatigue, alcohol, working in the immigration office of Ted Kennedy and thoughts of the good men she had left behind.

Stalin and Hitler claimed they were morally right....as do all the despots in history....they acquire the power of life and death over others and then claim it is their “moral right” to wield it.
