Ocasio-Cortez says 'AOC sucks' chant at Trump rally shows Trump needs a woman to 'vilify'

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said a chant from President Donald Trump's supporters mocking her was emblematic of Trump finding a female politician to attack.

"You know this is part of a pattern that the right and the far-right and, frankly, the President is consistent with," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN in New York. "He doesn't have another woman, Hillary Clinton or whoever else, to vilify anymore so they need to find another woman to kind of prop up and become a lightning rod."

At a rally in Michigan on Thursday, members of the crowd could be heard chanting "AOC sucks" at the mention of her name by Donald Trump Jr.

The freshman Democrat has emerged as a major figure on the left and a recurring focus of criticism by conservatives, who regularly mention Ocasio-Cortez by name or target the "Green New Deal," a resolution she has championed to target climate change.

In her comments on Friday responding to the Trump rally, Ocasio-Cortez talked about bridging divides and said she had recently accepted an invitation from Kentucky GOP Rep. Andy Barr to visit coal mines in Kentucky.

Did he graduate junior high yesterday?

But AOC really sucks.

She is really becoming stale

[mylife]

Yo, Alexandria.

You suck, your mother sucks and your sister sucks, your father would have sucked but I didn’t have a nickel.

[Steely Tom]

This is just standard Democrat playbook.

Criticize a female Democrat, you’re vilifying women and a misogynist.

Criticize a DOC, you’re a racist an a Klan member.

Criticize a homosexual Democrat, you want to murder gay people.

She said, while sucking.

Does this lady ever shut up? She makes Pelosi and Schumer look like mutes

[TigersEye]

The vacuum between your ears really sucks, Alex!

[Paladin2]

She’s not a woman, she’s a dEMOCRATIC sOCIALIST.

[Seaplaner]

I loved the Trump rally, but I did cringe a bit at the "AOC sucks" chant. I believe that we're better than that.

We should stick with more family friendly chants, such as...

"Lock her up!"

[UCANSEE2]

If you read the Green New Deal proposal , you will find it is really the Old Red Deal.

Ah, but Trump and supporters are pretty equal opportunity. I think this whole anti-woman thing is long expired. I cannot think of anyone I’ve heard or read say that they would support a candidate BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. Nor criticize her BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. Maybe 25 or more years ago, but it is not real complaint or criticism today.

[Timmy]

Is she implying that women cannot be held to account like men can, that they are some sort of weaker being that cannot be treated as a man would be?

[Rocky]

Well, he isn’t just picking on women. He called Schiff a pencil neck.

I think mostly he picks on stupid loudmouths.

[Reno89519]

Her face will make a great Halloween face mask. Need to be careful around little kids so as to not traumatize them.

[caww]

I've run out of words to describe her....I don't or a minute think she actually believes anything she's saying....she just runs her mouth with whatever crosses her disjointed brain waves.
