Netflix reportedly paid a record sum to obtain the rights to a documentary about the election campaign of Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“Knock Down the House,” which followed the 2018 midterm primary elections of four Democratic women, three of whom lost their bids, rose from its initial Kickstarter funding to the Festival Favorite Award at Utah’s Sundance Film Festival.

Netflix announced its decision to purchase rights to the film on Thursday. The streaming service reportedly paid $10 million, the most ever for a Sundance Film Festival documentary.

Are they going to have her at the Tippy Tippy of the movie and have a seventeen year old play her?

I thought House members weren’t allowed to take book advances since the Gingrich fandango years ago. That was a bogus issue intended solely to Get Newt, but the House did change its rules in the face of a media firestorm. Have they removed the ban since?

Not sure but I don’t think any of it goes to her. Not direct anyway.

Netflix just committed seppuku.

So sad.

I dropped Netflix some 3-4 years ago now, am damn’ sure glad I did. Don’t want my money going to support the AOC bimbo.

First, Netflix hired the Odungos. Now, they’re celebrating the election of one of the world’s biggest morons? I guess Netflix wants to go out of business. I cancelled my subscription to them 3 seconds after I heard about the Odungo deal. Would have done the same after this nonsense “celebrating” the election of a “no one’s home” idiot.

Yes, but she is also a source for laughs. If the majority of Americans fall for her ideas, you have to ask if this country can survive.

I’m sure that “documentary” is puke-worthy.

laughs?

Yes, I am sure atrocities are funny.

And creeping fascism.

Totalitarianism is a hoot.

Have a good time.

Just trying to find a little gallows humor. You’re not telling me anything about how scary this woman is. However, even scarier are the people who support her tyrannical ideas.
