Steve Bannon praised Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Politico for her "combination of grit, determination, fighting spirit that you can't coach."
The praise may seem unusual, since Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described democratic socialist who decries the Trump administration, which Bannon once served in.
But other conservatives and Republicans praised her for the large platform she has built and her skill on social media.
One Republican representative told Politico: "I aspire to be the conservative AOC."
Bannon, in an interview with Politico published on Wednesday, said that Ocasio-Cortez, widely known as "AOC", has a competitiveness and ability which he admires.
"AOC has what I call 'gameness' or competitive heart the combination of grit, determination, fighting spirit that you can't coach," Bannon said.
"You either have it or you don't, and she has it big league."

Where are our fighters? Conservative principles are best! I agree with you and good question. I think Bannon was talking about her "pluck", "moxie", "guts" to stand up for what she believes (although wrong). I had hopes for Trey Gowdy, but he seems to be all hat, no cattle.
AOC does not respect those in "authority" over her and she is willing to fight against them for what she believes. We need that too.
The leadership of the GOP deserves NO respect.

I agree. Conway herself could do with a bit of a verbal ‘’tune up’’. I don't like that Trump has basically put Sarah Sanders on the back burner. That gal has hair on her chest and puts those CNN aholes and the rest of the yapping Leftist media hyenas in their place.
