Why, Sam!

The disastrous performance of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's climate change documentary at the box office over the weekend reminded her critics of one thing: She doesn't do her actual job in Congress.
AOC enjoys all the perks of her job. She attends flashy galas, is on magazine covers, has done multiple friendly interviews and now has helped produce a film, "To the End," co-host Greg Gutfeld pointed out Tuesday on "The Five."
But Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., accomplishes nothing in Congress, and Gutfeld said it's "no surprise" her film flopped, generating only $80 per theater.
"Who would go see a movie that's the opposite of entertaining? There's nothing entertaining about that. … But it does show you how great it is to be a progressive in a liberal, biased culture," he said. "She really doesn't do her job, right? She makes movies, she goes to galas. She sits for glossy, butt-kissing interviews in GQ and other women's mags."
Co-host Jesse Watters remarked Ocasio-Cortez is seen hiking in the film, pointing out he has never seen her engage as much with the outdoors in real life and adding that her popularity appears to be tied more to politics as opposed to "real life" given her film's paltry revenue.
"Would I go to it? No. Have I seen it? No. Will I talk about it? Yes," he said.
"This is what politicians often get confused about: Just because you're popular in politics doesn't mean you're popular anywhere else. In fact, usually people that can't do anything anywhere else go into politics to succeed. And she found out that the hard way."
Watters said the hiking scenes gives some "fraudulen[ce]" to the film, quipping that AOC grew up in Westchester and represents the outer boroughs of Queens and the Bronx.

Baby steps...
She’s an actress and puppet just damn near all the rest. Some are southern and Midwestern Frat Boys, who grow up in a political family or are groomed, some are handpicked by folks on the Left for the “story” they can concoct.
AOC is a product of the Justice Democrats. Seemingly a group of white liberal hypocrites.

You are right. AOC actually had a strong GOP opponent run against her, Tina Forte, a real fireplug who reminds me a little of Marjorie Green Taylor. But the district is hopelessly blue and AOC could well have that seat locked down for 40 years, no matter how much of a airhead she might be.
Will they still pay her 10 million for the movie? Of course, that is how the laundry works.
Similar to the paperbacks written by members of congress, sometimes just a few pages, for which they were/are paid millions for as boxes of books are bought up and then composted.
Why, Sam!
Excellent idea. Find a dumbass movie that even a girlfriend will find boring and it will result in more makeout time. This would have been a good movie for a drive-in theater way back when.
There are people paying money to see that?
“My girlfriend Greta....”
SamAdams76, courageously going where no man has dared before. Boldly living where even angels tremble in fear. Fervently tongue bathing the one female even Captain James Tiberias Kirk would walk away from.
Dude!
You’re crazy!
I’m surprised that the theaters managed to make $80 per venue. Did she buy the tickets and hold a raffle?
Didn’t Seinfeld do a bit about making out during Shindler’s List? If she don’t like BBQ what is the point?
She might even hold that speaker gavel one day. Yes, it could happen!
If there is any lesson we can learn in America today, it is this : In certain districts, it doesn’t matter whether you perform or not. As long as you share the same left-wing values as the majority of your constituents, you have your position in Congress as long as you want.
Time for Chiquita the banana ballot lady to go back to hawking Tacos and Margaritas to the white supremacist gringos.
That would be arroz con gandules and pernil - AOC is Puerto Rican not Mexican.
AOC = POS.
