Will the media ever call out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ignorance?
Washington Examiner ^ | August 11, 2018 | Eddie Scarry

I know it’s racist to call LeBron James dumb, but what about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

The New York Democratic congressional candidate got at least some real questions during an interview this week on CNN. If weren’t for Ocasio-Cortez being an attractive minority, the rest of the media would be calling her the next Sarah Palin.

Democrats, if they’re ethnic and look good on TV, typically get one question from the press: “Are you running for president?”

It’s the sole reason Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey are considered “top contenders” for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

Cuomo asked Ocasio-Cortez basic questions about her political positions, like whether she supported Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House speaker — “We gotta take a look at what’s going on," Ocasio-Cortez said — and how the U.S. would pay for multitrillion-dollar universal healthcare, to which she questioned why we don’t consider “the cost of all the funeral expenses of those who died” because we don’t have universal healthcare.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is what you find in a derelict tool shed. A worthless attention hoe with a hyphenated handle.

Donora is actually a small town in Western Pennsylvania that is the hometown of Stan Musial and Ken Griffey Jr.

“The Democrat Incumbent she beat in the Primary with a 20% vote turnout is still on the November ballot as an Independent.”

And will probably be re-elected on name recognition alone. Unless the voters there are dumber than the Braying Puerto Rican.

She is as well-informed as the typical reporter and, since she mouths the same leftist academic trash the reporters themselves imbibed, the press does not perceive a problem.

No. They will prop-up this babbling idiot until her stupidity become so glaring that even the legions of boot lickers in the media can no longer hide her stupidity. They may drop her, and forget her, but they shall never expose her ignorance.

Doesn’t matter - she is still going to win and be a member of the US Congress.

Female, privileged-minority name. Means you can count on 100% support from the media. They will cover up for you if you say stupid things.

She is not attractive. Semi-cute.

The astronauts put a flag on Mars. . .on their way back from the Moon, I guess.

It was the white male imperialist oppressors trying to crush the Martians, for sure... :-)

She’s as sharp and light weight as a ping pong ball.
