All I see is teeth.

Every time I see a picture of those teeth I think of “From Dusk Till Dawn.”

Let me help Guy Benson. Here's how your article should go, Guy.

******

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:

$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”

$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.

That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.

And that’s before our premiums. https://t.co/soT6GSmDSG— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 2, 2018

But the truth is:

Wow. You claim $21 Trillion in Pentagon Waste? The entire Pentagon budget from 1789-2018 has totaled $18 trillion,

Come on, This is embarrassing. https://t.co/ezdhqWQFyc— Brian Riedl (@Brian_Riedl) December 2, 2018

Ocasio-Cortez is either stupendously stupidly ignorant or a deliberate lying propagandist.

Now, having put the substance out there first in short direct order, Benson can babble on inanely to his heart's content, as is his wont.

There’s something weirdly compelling about this creature.

Like watching a clown commit suicide.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Woman of color ?

Looks kinda white to me ...

[Fungi]

Yep, batshit crazy and uglier than a horse..

She reminds me of how cheerleaders presented themselves when I was in high school. It didn't seem to matter how they expressed themselves as long as they bounced up and down, smiled, stayed hyper-enthusiastic and got in front of the crowd.

[piytar]

Sorry, can’t. Plot does not go far enough to the left..:

[Library Lady]

Right. Does anyone have a picture of her with her mouth closed?

[ifinnegan]

“She reminds me of how cheerleaders presented themselves when I was in high school. It didn’t seem to matter how they expressed themselves as long as they bounced up and down, smiled, stayed hyper-enthusiastic and got in front of the crowd.”

On the nose.

Can we say, that this woman is an idiot? She’s lacking in basic knowledge, as she pushes a liberal socialist agenda? Can we say that she doesn’t know what the heck she is talking about?

And can we say that facts don’t matter to people like her, because the political agenda being pushed overrides everything else???

[Buckeye McFrog]

Laugh if you want, Guy, but a whole lot of idiots out there are nodding in agreement with her.

Her mouth is like an urban 7-11, it never closes!
