Ocasio-Cortez Attacks Senate GOP for Ignoring Bill That Hasn’t Passed House
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 11 FEB 2019 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 02/12/2019 5:44:05 AM PST by ManHunter

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) attacked Senate Republicans Monday for sitting on a bill that in actuality has not passed the House of Representatives.

Ocasio-Cortez received thousands of retweets for a tweet claiming that the "For the People Act" had passed the House with over two hundred cosponsors. "Now it’s at the Senate," she wrote. "GOP is calling getting money out of politics a ‘power grab.'"

Look at me! Look at me! Me! Me! Me! LOOK AT ME!!!

If the dems in her district wise up and primary her out next year, she has a bright future ahead of her as a media whore.

She actually may take the train. If your final destination is actually in Manhattan, it is easier to just take the Acela train into Grand Central station or Penn Station. From there you can connect with the trains to Westchester County. If you are going to Queens you want to fly into LaGuardia. If you are going to Long Island you fly into JFK or Islip. Lastly, if you are going to Jersey, you fly into Newark.

The real rich folks fly their G5’s into Teterboro, NJ. It is right near the George Washington bridge to the upper west side and northern jersey. Then helicopter into Manhattan.

The fact is, it can take 2 hours just to get from one side of NYC to the other during the middle of the day. AOC’s parents still live in Westchester County. She is not from Queens. She lived there when she worked as a bartender after graduating for Boston University($70K/year private school). Westchester County is where all the rich people live NORTH of NYC. It is very pretty and expensive. It is where the Clintons live. AOC is your typical little rich girl pretending to be a downtrodden socialist. However, with the right grooming she could be VERY dangerous.

Has anybody done a genuine background check on this woman’s claim to have a college degree?
Does she really have a degree from Boston College? What were her grades?

Her 15 minutes are up. I am ready for her to join Cindy Sheehan on the news cycle trash heap.

I already consider her so.

I think her facial expression are so overly exaggerated in order to somehow compensate for her mind blowing stupidity.

She IS dangerous because she commands the near-unanimous loyalty of the radical young Democrat base. Nancy Pelosi is about to learn to her chagrin that THAT is where the power now lies in her party.

Once we reach the tipping point where enough of us have died there is going to be no stopping them. Or her.

I can’t remember which Freeper it was (male), but his comment after one of her stupid statements was, ‘That’s nice, Sandy. Now take off your blouse.’

OMG! I laughed so hard! We need to use that as a response for all of her stupidity, but I agree that she is a great weapon FOR the GOP.

So do I.

We need to stop laughing about this woman and realize that she appeals to a big portion of the voting people. She is the reincarnation of Evita Peron. All the stupid millennial socialists will follow her right to our countries demise if we are not carful.

If AOC was a font, she’d be “Wingdings” or perhaps “Comic Sans”.

What I meant to say was ...

Job of the media to vet her background. I'm a retired cattle farmer. I don't do research.

But If she has BA majoring in economics and international relations from Boston College, I would be ashamed of myself if I was in the economics department of that school.

Because she doesn't know economics from a hole in the ground.

Well, she sort of does. She thinks socialism is a big hole in the ground from the way Maduro has run Venezuela's economy into it. (lame joke)

I see this woman as sticking around for quite awhile. The democRAT Party and the democRAT voters like this kind of firebrand who is willing to spout off about their radical Marxist views without having to take the heat themselves.

This Green New Deal is just a Trojan horse to get their foot in the door on legislating climate change. Most of the stuff in it won't make it pass the talking stage, but little-by-little, the democRATS will keep pushing it's concepts until, eventually over time, they'll get most of it into law.

It's how the democRATS always work. They are using AO-C to get the camel's nose under the edge of the tent. They know they can't get this entire socialist wet-dream passed all at once, so they are satisfied to do it incrementally.

My question was rhetorical, and obviously the media has not done it’s job investigating her, just as it covered up the truth about Obama.

Yes she is the gift that keeps on giving.

Yes indeed. Like a virulent and aggressive case of Herpes. Mouth and genital.

I simply adore this woman.

I dunno, every time she speaks, I get a sharp pain behind my right eye. I truly fear I will have an aneurysm one day when she says something that takes stupid to cosmic levels.
