Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams House GOP On Border Wall Spending
Newsweak ^ | 12/20/18 | SCOTT MCDONALD

Posted on 12/21/2018 3:21:03 AM PST by Libloather

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t waste any time Thursday slamming her soon-to-be GOP counterparts in the House of Representatives for their passing a short-term spending bill that includes $5.7 billion that will fund President Donald Trump’s border wall.

Ocasio-Cortez, the outspoken New Yorker who will be sworn-in to office next month, said border wall money could better be used for teacher pay, infrastructure and left-leaning distribution ideas like tuition, green jobs and prescription refills.

We’re still waiting for Waters to pay for feathering her husband’s nest with $12 million taxpayer money. Most corrupt congress critter ever. I noticed she has been keeping quiet lately. Perhaps this Cortez b*tch has been assigned to take her place as stupid.

Some lib writer claimed last week that AOC lives rent free in the heads of conservatives, but it's quite the other way around. The media cannot stop going to her and writing about her. All we're doing is reacting.

I do agree, though, about her being coached. There is no doubt she's being used by RAT forces who want to shake up the entrenched powers like Pelosi but can't get to them, while in turn, the entrenched powers are using her as a runoff lane for the millennials and Bernie supporters who are determined to act proactively after seeing the rigged game of the 2016 nominating process orchestrated by Her Heinous. We should mostly watch, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some 11D chess played along the way on an issue or two to further roil the waters.

No problem. Keeping tabs on the socialists is important. See any good stuff written about the antifa fascists lately? Me neither. Did they go underground?

I wouldn’t want to be in the same room with her. I’d want to punch her face in. Make no mistake, this little bitch would put anyone of us to the wall if she could.

I don’t want want to read it. It truly depresses me that she is in Congress, So I’ll guess...The money could be of better use at Planned Parenthood to buy cleaner clothes hangers? Every woman in the US could get a mani pedi? Given to Starbucks as an incentive to reduce the cost of no fat lottes?

I wonder how the NY press will treat her? She’s such a dunce and I can’t wait until she is invited on all the Sunday talk shows. Makes for good comedy.

Why on earth does anyone pay any attention to her at all, when compared to some 400-odd other fellow (pre)-Congresspeople? She doesn't even have a track yet, let alone a record in federal government.

I guess she's Newsweek's Tar-Baby. Take a note from old Uncle Remus, you Bre'r-Rabbit-Newsreader-reader-phonys! Keep on, and the Fox will eat you. Eat you up.

You guys are both right.

It would be great for her to be out there as the true face of the DemoCommies, but with two generations of maleducated/indoctrinated yutes coming up, not so good.

“...and prescription refills”

I can see why she would need $5.7B for prescriptions, but most other Americans do just fine spending much less.

If teachers were bricklayers then houses would be collapsing left and right, if they were built at all.

They deserve nothing for their horrific results.

Only a Frosh next month, currently still in 8th grade.

She is referred to by some as simply AOC.

I was thinking we could use a more definitive term - The Mouth

There will be 434 other members of the House next month and she will be way down on the seniority. Many will not like her hogging the mike so much.

The spotlight is supposed to be on the Speaker and to a lesser degree committee chairmen. It will be fun.

That money could also be better spent constructing gallows for the appropriate use on OAC and her friends but alas...

She was elected for a reason and the left keeps letting her get t.v. time.... IMHO...”Every band needs an a$$hole, They elected me”.. Stan Lynch - Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers.

Dear Newsweek,

If she is let loose on the network shows she will have been shown the questions, coached on the answers and will be backed up by other guests, show hosts and the production crews who will edit the REALLY stupid crap she spews.
