Jeremy Corbyn to team up with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/2/19 | David Rosenberg

Ocasio-Cortez’s surprised win propelled her almost overnight to celebrity status, turning her into one of the most popular figures in the left-wing of the Democratic party.

In a tweet late Sunday night, Corbyn revealed that he had called Ocasio-Cortez that night to propose an alliance with the New York congresswoman, citing their wide-ranging agreement on policies ranging from marginal tax rates to environmental protection and immigration.

“Great to speak to @AOC on the phone this evening and hear first hand how she’s challenging the status quo,” tweeted Corbyn.

“Let’s build a movement across borders to take on the billionaires, polluters and migrant baiters, and support a happier, freer and cleaner planet.”

Ocasio-Cortez responded shortly afterwards, saying she was honored to speak with the Labour leader.

Very illegal. Occasional Cortex better read the constitution or end up behind bars.

And don’t forget ... if the left does it, it’s Trump’s fault.

I looked up stupid in the dictionary and just said “Occasional Cortex”.

So that leaves Jeremy as the blind. Blindness is one of the alleged results of frequent wanking. He’s blind to his own hubris. But while he is not the dictionary word for blind or stupid, he certainly is well endowed with both lacks.

Jeremy Corbyn is so anti-Semitic that nearly 40 percent of British Jews have said they would seriously consider emigrating if he became prime minister.

People say things like that without being serious about it.

I remember Whoopi Goldberg was on national television and made a promise that if Trump became president she would leave the country. That was one hell of an incentive for many people and most of the people that I know actually voted for Trump because she was going to leave the country, and she's still here.
