McCaskill on Ocasio-Cortez: ‘I’m a little confused why she’s the thing’

The two-term Democratic senator also warned Ocasio-Cortez not to ignore the plight of white working-class voters who have distanced themselves from the Democratic Party in recent years.

Oh, I'm pretty sure Alexandria is on board with taking from everyone and passing it out to whomever she sees fit. She's a 'thing' alright.

[Dr. Sivana]

She’s a “thing” because she fits the coastal lefty mindset, and represents a non-competitive district, and because she is a young woman who is not not a complete cow (horse, arguably, but that’s better than cow). The media swim in the safe environment, so they are making her a thing, because she is more marketable than Bernie Sanders.

[Baynative]

What else is new, Claire? You’ve been confused since the day you scammed your way into congress.

“...I’m a little confused why she’s the thing...”

Translation: “I’m a little confused by everything.”

[HandBasketHell]

She doesn’t know why she’s the ‘thing’, then goes on to state the reason why she’s the ‘thing’. Good one, Claire. Bye-bye!

[Trump20162020]

I am too. I am confused why there are so many threads about her here. There is hardly anything unique or special about her. There are fifty other deep blue district Democrats just like her, whose voting records at the end of the 116th United States Congress will be basically identical.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Because the moonbat Socialist hordes have overrun your party, Claire.

[JohnBrowdie]

She has since rocketed to political stardom and has repeatedly drawn national attention to her calls for progressive legislation as well as to her fiery responses to conservative figures.

lol. nothing about being notorious for being a brain stem.

[marajade]

You know if she had talked and voted like this maybe she would of had a better chance of keeping her seat in MO.

[Tijeras_Slim]

After Obama anything is possible.

[texas booster]

I agree with you.

Would she even be noticed if she wasn’t to the left of the NYT?

[Sooth2222]

"I'm a little confused why she's the thing,” McCaskill told CNN.

If she were a guy, she'd understand. AO-C is mildly attractive, dumb and crazy.

[Baynative]

The liberal tactic of promising to give away other people's money will always work with low information voters and bottom feeders. This time it's winning more support from the Obama supporters who believe in the Cloward-Piven strategy.

[econjack]

Mainly because it’s slightly more fun interviewing her than a bag of hammers.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Missouri just got tired of her “Air Claire” routine...

Unseating Joe Crowley was what it was, more than the “democratic socialist” self-labeling. Not that it’s actually special.

[Pravious]

She’s “the thing,” I think, because, deep down, the left wants their own Trump.

That is, someone who doesn’t lie to them and speaks their mind. Of course, this dumb little twit doesn’t HAVE much of a mind to speak - much less experience in anything except mixing drinks and pretending she’s important, but that doesn’t matter to them. Just like Beto O’Rourke isn’t good at anything except looking like the mutant off-spring of John Kennedy and John Kerry (well, and hit and run).

[Old Yeller]

Falls right in line with the dumbing down of America.

[thoughtomator]

Claire, have you been listening to your own people?

You’re white, she’s not. They want you dead and she to replace you. That’s what multiculturalism is, sweetie.
