Steve Bannon praises Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes for 'grit, determination, and fighting spirit'
Business Insider ^ | Jan 30 2019 | Sinead Baker

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."

It’s easy to be AOC. She has a me-too chorus in the media, academia, and half her party. Trump had to overcome them, all the cheatercrats, and RINOs pulling in the other direction.

At this point AOC isn't even a real person anymore. She's basically just a TV and social media character.

That's what Bannon admires about her. He made a ton of money in the TV business over the years.

Maybe in the future i’ll give myself a moment to wake up before I try to comment.

Why did he leave out “thieving ho that loves to steal and spend other people’s money?” Isn’t that grit too?

Sorry, not into praising my enemy. For anything.

Not interested in getting along with my enemy either; just interested in thoroughly defeating her.

I gotta agree. AOC is a fighter. I only wish we had some conservative AOCs. It seems like Trump is all alone (probably because he is). Where are our fighters? Conservative principles are best!

"combination of grit, determination, fighting spirit that you can't coach."

She’s almost on the same level with Joe Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro and Pol Pot. All she needs to do is murder a few million people to close the deal.

They fight - against conservatives, and for the other side.

AOC has plenty of conservative counterparts. The difference is that they have real standards and therefore have no interest in Washington politics.

AOC is a loser who didn't have the intelligence and/or motivation to be successful in a couple of her small business ventures a few years ago. That's why she was working as a bartender at the age of 28 -- which isn't much to show for a degree in international relations from Boston U.

She’s a mindless, robotic unrepentant Marxist idealogue. She is not American, and should have no place in American politics.

She is a hater and if enough people follow her and her ilk, it will lead to a hot Civil War III.

Given Steve Bannon’s shenanigans since the election, unlike you, I am not sure he considers AOC the enemy...
