CBS This Morning journalists on Friday offered a platform to radical socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, deeming the new Congresswoman’s extreme views “interesting.” The network, which will showcase the Democrat in a 60 Minutes segment on Sunday, previewed it by allowing Ocasio-Cortez to compare herself to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. There was no objection to this.

Regarding her energy plans, Anderson Cooper gently wondered, “You're talking about zero carbon emissions. No use of fossil fuels within 12 years?” After Ocasio-Cortez responded, “That’s the goal,” Cooper mildly wondered, “How is that possible? You're talking about everybody having to drive an electric car?” That’s all he could manage? Not something like "how are you going to force people to stop driving the cars they have?”

Why would they object? Well, maybe to the Lincoln part since she doesn't have the beard down yet. And then she mentions her zero carbon thing in 12 years. Is that the same 12 years that we have left as outlined in the hahavahd business review yesterday? To paraphrase it for andy pooper, "Just drive it!"

I’m thinking that from now on when the media mentions aoc(sandy ocasio) at the end after her name they need to annotate it as D-(lusional)NY.

[Captain Peter Blood]

So she compares herself to FDR. FDR would eat her breakfast, lunch and dinner. She is so far down out of his class as a politician and a C in C that all I can do is laugh. She obviously has not read any history at all.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Ending “climate change” is seen as a bigger win to these people than ending slavery. Of course she did.

I still say in two decades she is going to be considered mainstream.

[1Old Pro]

Plus she says she wants people who are earning under 40k and paying no taxes to start paying 15% taxes - Cooper doesn’t even Blink, is he that stupid?

[Baynative]

I won, I WON! ,now I can make laws.

[rktman]

And, she’ll probably still be in congress.

This is a story of a young idiotic girl who is nothing more than an airhead who now has power to dictate. Hank Johnson’s comments about Trump being a Nazi like hitler another uneducated dope who now has power, the list goes on, I f we thought congress was a problem in the past just wait and see now

Let us not forget Kristen "Silly Gilly" Gillibrand the airhead.

Lincoln freed the slaves.

Horseface wants to enslave the free.

See the similarity?

“Plus she says she wants people who are earning under 40k and paying no taxes to start paying 15% taxes -”

And to change their underwear 3 times a day, and wear it on the outside so we can check..

[bmwcyle]

Lincoln and her both have a hole in their heads.

[Buckeye McFrog]

And, she’ll probably still be in congress.

I don't doubt it. Senator Pat Roberts has just announced his retirement from Congress. At 84 likely the youngest person to ever do so.

[Rennes Templar]

Thing is, there’s lots of millennials out there eating this stuff up.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This woman is loony toons.

[Col Frank Slade]

She wants a 70% tax rate for the “tippie tops”

She actually said that.

[1Old Pro]

This woman is loony toons.

Or just your typical millennial who is a product of a failed government school system that filled her head with nonsense.
