AOC: Trump's coalition includes 'racists' and those who 'could be susceptible' to racism
Fox News ^ | August 16, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., weighed in on President Trump's supporters Thursday, saying a "core part" of the president's base is composed of "racists" and "people who could be susceptible to racist views."

She also said many discussions on racism devolve into defenseness because "we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism."

The far-left freshman congresswoman made the remarks during an appearance on the podcast "Pod Save America," hosted by former Obama administration staffer Jon Favreau.

At one point, Favreau asserted that "there's racism there" when crowds gather for Trump rallies. But Ocasio-Cortez said it's more important to discuss the broader term "racism" than whether an individual or group is "racist."

POTUS is not a typical doormat Republican. The insane rhetoric will boomerang back onto the Demofascists in 2020. Guaranteed. We got a little taste of it last night when Trump told the crowd “They are calling YOU Nazis.”

She really needs to sue her college - they robbed her of an education......
I tweet that to her fairly regularly...

LOL.

She’s a true believer. We’re all racists.

Check her out, especially at the 2 min. mark when she starts to wave her hands and arms gracefully like an elegant Beto.

Hasn’t anyone told her that racist is no longer the word to use? It’s white supremacist. What a maroon.

Her crowning achievement. I’d be shocked if the same fools who put her in office return her back into office.
