Until just weeks ago, Hillary Clinton was the face of the Democratic Party.
She was quoted ad nauseam in liberal publications, appeared regularly on MSM shows and newscasts, and, as the last Democratic nominee for president, was held up as a righteous woman wronged by the horribly wrong system (Oh, America!)
But all that’s changed. The new face of the Democratic Party is a 28-year-old former bartender.
On June 26, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knocked off the No. 4 Democrat in the House in a primary in New York’s 14th Congressional District, defeating Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley. Since then, she’s been everywhere — far more often than Mrs. Clinton.
Don’t believe that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is the new face of the party? Here’s what Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez had to say about her: “She represents the future of our party.” So, there you have it. Done and done.

Now, the Post usually reserves such fact checks for conservatives, shooting down their rhetoric (often by omitting facts). That the vaunted liberal paper would do such a fact check on the Democratic Party’s new darling really is telling.
The Post’s Glenn Kessler took a spin through “some of her recent eyebrow-raising claims,” and it wasn’t pretty.
“Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in a July 13 interview on PBS’s “Firing Line.”
“Poppycock,” said the Post.

She’s-a complete utter idiot
not to worry, the dems dancing pig in a wig will simply be ignored and forgotten and made believed that she never existed
but gold for republican campaign adverts tha left media dont hold censoring abilities over
Hope she doesn’t burn too fast - they will use her demise as “Proof that they don’t embrace hard core Socialism”....
Crowley needs to run as am independent.
“the face of the Democratic Party.”
“DemocratIC Party” s/b “Democrat Party”.
Are news people this stupid?
NOOOOOOO! We NEED people like Crazy-eyes, Ellison, Pelosi, Waters etc. to be in positions of power in the Dem Party!
I believe they know people are not going to go for socialism. The trick is to campaign as a moderate and govern like a communist.
There. Fixed it!
Excellent comment, John!
ROFLMAO!
I think her antics have dropped the current value of an economics degree from Boston University to less than the price of a cup of coffee.
What's interesting is the fact check conclusion. Fact checking is subjective, and usually the Post gives the most generous construction to their kindred spirits on the political side of the shop. The Post's opponents, nominally the Republicans, are fact checked using an entirely different standard.
“There is a fissure in the Dem party between the masked socialists(leadership) and unmasked socialists(younger dems).”
The other side of the Party, in China, is experiencing it too. President Xi’s position is shaky, for being so out in the open with their intentions, that the normal countries are catching on.
“She Guevara”
Touche.
“Crowley needs to run as an independent”
Maybe that’s why a press bot got ordered to run a hit piece on her.
Wilbur ...
[She’s a complete utter idiot]
Which should make her very popular with some Democrats.
