Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says Removing Trump Won't Fix Problem W/GOP or 'Dark Money That Funded Him'
Newsweek ^ | March 24, 2019 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 03/24/2019 11:42:08 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said that President Donald Trump is “a symptom of much deeper problems” that won’t simply go away if he were to be impeached or voted out in the next presidential election.

Ocasio-Cortez, who represents New York’s 14th district, posted to Twitter on Sunday afternoon, resharing a tweet by actor George Takei. The celebrity — most famous for his role in Star Trek and a frequent critic of Trump — wrote that even if the president were removed from office, the U.S. would still have “a big question” to answer.

“How did a guy like that get elected? Why do so many still support him?” he asked. “We can’t just say ‘Fox News’ or ‘Russians.’ We have serious issues to sort out.”

They are starting to walk back the GET TRUMP meme. Excellent.

Does she realize that the “dark money” she speaks of was actually the MEDIA giving Trump (may re-election be upon him) free campaign advertising?

They just called is “campaign coverage”.

Dark money? Like the money in the communal tip jar at the bar she tended?

More proof AOC is an empty vessel filled with liberal talking points. If she knew anything, it was that DJT funded his own campaign more so than any presidential candidate in modern history.

To the contrary, absence of dark money is precisely why he's so independent and fearless in taking down the establishment / deep state.

Not to worry La Cortez , we don't expect anything better from the likes of you.

AOC is more like that evil doll in the old Twilight Zone episode....the one with Telly Savalas.

The evil doll was named Talky Tina.

The doll tells Savalas, “My name is Talky Tina. And I hate you! And I’m going to kill you!”

That doll reminds me of the “Bug-eyed b*tch,” as Roseanne called her.

ACS has probably never heard of the Clinton Foundation,

She might as well have 2 heads {Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy} because she is just a prop for the people in control.

“Dark Money”? WTH is she talking about. Trump largely financed his own campaign and that is well know. And he takes no salary. He can’t be bribed or otherwise corrupted by money because he has his own. AOC gets dumber every day. The really sad part is that there are millennials who agree with everything she says.

the only reason she says this about Trump is because she knows SHE was elected with dark money - fraudulant or devious ways. She’s just a puppet for her master.

Projection! Trump doesn’t need dark money. That’s why they hate him.

Dark money out of his own pocket, she means. She thinks his having earned money for 50 years is “dark.” This woman gives stupidity a bad name.
