AOC: The Wuhan Coronavirus Shows Us How Great the Progressive Movement Truly Is
Townhall ^ | 3/23/20 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 03/24/2020 2:02:57 AM PDT by Libloather

Progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made the case that the proposed Wuhan coronavirus relief package that's currently floating in Congress shows why progressive ideas and the progressive movement are achievable.

"It's actually a fascinating progressive moment because what it's shown is that all of these issues have never been about how are you going to pay for it. It's never been about whether we have the capacity to do these things or if the logistics have worked out," AOC explained in a video for Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. "All of these excuses that we have been given as to why we cannot treat people humanely have suddenly gone up in smoke and what has been revealed is all of these issues was really about a lack of a political will and who you deemed worthy to be in an emergency or not."

According to the freshman congresswoman, progressives have been pushing for housing to be deemed a right for a "very, very long time."

"Now that we are experiencing everybody who is threatened by the uncertainty of this moment, everyone's realizing, 'Wait. We're all in this together.' That applies to not just economic prosperity but it also applies to issues of criminal justice, of civil rights, of human rights," she explained.

Someone should remind her that her ideological ChiCom friends created this bioweapon and set it off.

So yeah, it’s a “Great Progressive Moment” all right - it clearly shows how murderous and completely careless Progressivism/socialism/Nazism/communism really is.

And she supports it. That makes her an enemy.

Yeah, this is kind of like the playground football quarterback's call, when he's tired and losing the game "Everybody go long. Everybody go long. I'll be able hit somebody with a pass and we'll win this thing."

All the best military men know that planning isn't necessary. Just everybody do the right thing. /bitter sarc

Reminds me of Goober in Andy Griffith when they told him he looked like an intellectual with his glasses. Couldn’t get the dim wit to shut up.
