AOC Rips James Carville for Blaming ‘Wokeness’ in Terry McAuliffe Defeat
Breitbart ^ | November 6, 2021 | Amy Furr

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blasted Democrat strategist James Carville for being out of touch with the Democrat Party regarding the debate over its recent election losses, Business Insider reported Friday.

“Like the average audience for people seriously using the word ‘woke’ in a 2021 political discussion are James Carville and Fox News pundits so that should tell you all you need to know,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a social media post.

Carville told PBS on Wednesday “wokeness” was to blame for Terry McAuliffe’s (D) loss to Glenn Youngkin (R) during the Virginia gubernatorial election.

Breitbart News reported:

“[W]hat went wrong is just stupid wokeness,” he declared. “Don’t just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Wash. I mean, this ‘defund the police’ lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln’s name off of schools. I mean that — people see that.”

“It’s just really — has a suppressive effect all across the country on Democrats. Some of these people need to go to a ‘woke’ detox center or something,” Carville continued. “They’re expressing a language that people just don’t use, and there’s backlash and a frustration at that.”

Ocasio-Cortez made her comments while calling out a local news article that reported she said McAuliffe “wasn’t woke enough” because she said “moderate Dems” were “ceding white swing voters to the right” by failing to engage Republicans.

“How can news outlets even attribute words to me I didn’t say?” she wrote in a social media post. “I said there are limits to trying to mobilize a campaign with a 100% moderate strategy without mobilizing the base. Said nothing [about] ‘wokeness’ which is a term almost exclusively used by older people these days btw.”

For once, I agree with Mr. Carvile!
He has more notches on his firearm than a lot of Democrats.

The skinny Puerto Rican with the big buckets can only claim her election to office through lack in the election process.

AOC needs to get in her car and drive across the country, staying off interstates, staying on secondary roads, eating in local restaurants, and staying in small town motels. She’ll be catatonic before she reaches the Mississippi, but if she can complete the trip she might learn something.

We could make this a fun project and get her guest bartending gigs along the way, so she can hear from the locals. She’d have to learn what a Budweiser is, but that’s probably within her reach.

Carville from the old school when Democrats tried to hide their socialism, Sandy Cortez is more new school where they wear it on their sleeves.

No, “progressives” can’t learn. They know everything already.

Hard for me to believe AOC would come out on top in a brawl with Carville. Should be fun if Carville doesn’t just let it go, which he might these days.

I didn’t think I would live to see the day the Democrat party would become so far left it left behind James Carville.

Not hot.

Before hotornot.com was destroyed by certain ownership, she would have been maybe a 6 or 7 at best on there.

Carvile can’t stop the whining. Today’s woke leftist movement is the direct consequence of everything he has promoted in his lifetime. If they cancel him he has only himself to blame.

Oops! “can stop the whining.”

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is a not too smart spokeswoman for the democrats. She comes out with these idiotic pronoucments from time to time. Here is another one.

“Like the average audience for people seriously using the word ‘woke’ in a 2021 political discussion are James Carville and Fox News pundits so that should tell you all you need to know,”

AOC speaks.

1. There is no such thing as “woke.”

2. But if there is such thing as “woke”, only old people use it so it is, literally, super uncool to even think the word. Cool young people like me would never say “woke.”

3. But if there is such thing as woke and it is not, literally, super uncool, it is good for America.

4. But if there is such thing as woke and it is not, literally, super uncool, but it is bad for America, just shut the H**L up and let your betters run things.
