Ben Shapiro challenged Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a debate. When she refused, things got weird.

**SNIP**

If there were a debate, you could probably count on Shapiro, a prominent Israel defender, to challenge Ocasio-Cortez on her harsh criticism of Israel. She described the day in May when Israeli troops killed more than 60 Palestinians, mostly Hamasniks, attempting to breach the fence with the Gaza Strip as a “massacre.”

Ocasio-Cortez did not have to reply: No one expects a candidate to debate non-candidates, and her from-the-left appeal is based much more on getting out the vote than it is on persuading undecided independents or hostile conservatives.

But reply she did on Thursday, and in the process advanced a jarring simile: Shapiro’s very polite debate challenge, she said, was akin to catcalling.

“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions,” she tweeted.

That prompted a new round of conservative outrage, accusing Ocasio-Cortez of playing the gender card.

A bartender would make a mistake like that?

Bartenders tend to be bad at debates, unless they get a few drinks down first.

I think they should agree. Set a date in Sept and demand 75 percent of the ad time revenues on all stations especially Fox. Then split it in half and become instant multi millionaires.

Lewinsky commenting is hilarious. I’m certain there’s a long line waiting to have her in their corner.

IMHO, she is like a meteor. She will flash across the political spectrum and then burn out without a trace.

She won a primary against an arrogant no-show 10-term incumbent, who will mount a campaign, surreptitiously aided by wiser heads at the DNC and beat her in the General Election.

I think Ben should be insulted for her to think he’d look at her more than once!! Those eyes would scare ANYONE away but I guess her audience aren’t noticing the eyes..

She’s traveling around with Bernie Sanders, and she’s going on multiple friendly TV interviews.

If socialism is so clearly preferable as a way of organizing society and our economy, then why can’t she explain and debate someone with a differing opinion? If socialism is so superior, then why can’t explain it all to us, in a free and open forum?

In the democrat mind, free speech is a violent crime.

So the catcalling which women get subjected to sometimes, is the same thing as someone wanting to debate issues of the day she supposedly cares about, issues which if she and her ilk have power to do, they will impose on all of us?

Typical. She will pi$$ & moan about everything and pretend to stand in the fray. As soon as she is called out she becomes a poor, little girl bullied by a big bad mean racist white man. Guess what Sweetcakes, you want to play you have to be able to take it, and nobody is buying your victim shtick.

That bucktoothed, big-eyed Communist has very bad intentions. She’s also a phony.
