Ocasio-Cortez rips media for reporting on her new luxury high-rise
NY Post ^ | 2/21/19 | Mark Moore, Nikki Schwab

Posted on 02/22/2019 2:23:04 AM PST by Libloather

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scolded media outlets for reporting that she lives in a luxury high-rise building in Washington, DC, around the time she and other high-profile Democrats appeared on a hit list compiled by a Maryland man arrested for allegedly planning a mass terror attack.

“Journalists are sharing stories about where I live the same day it’s shared that myself + others were targeted by a mass shooter,” the New York Democrat tweeted late Wednesday. “All this paired w/ amplifying unvetted conspiracy theories. It’s reckless, irresponsible & puts people directly in danger. This isn’t a game.”

**SNIP**

Ocasio-Cortez’s office pushed back against the notion that it was hypocritical for the congresswoman to live in upscale digs.

So it’s fine for her side to “Fox” whoever they like. Hypocritical much?

She still only gets one vote, and doesn't hold any powerful chair positions or anything yet.

She's in the news everyday (above the fold, as it used to be said).

She has more coverage than Schumer and Pelosi combined.

In a matter of months, she has gone from non-entity to voice of the radical Left.

She is the co-sponsor of one of the most talked about bills in Congress (sufficiently important that many of the newly announced 2020 Presidential candidates of the left have included their position on this bill in their initial planks).

What matters is what independents and lefties think of her.

When a communist like Bill DeBlasio is blasting her in public, you know she's got a train wreck ahead of her.

Yeah, but he wasn’t referring to the horses.

De Blasio is upset because she is stealing his steam.

He is used to being among the most extreme, if not THE MOST extreme.

He is now a has been.

AOC has billboards denouncing her in Times Square. Not even De Blasio has that.

Luxury high rise. Isn’t this the same woman who said she couldn’t afford an apartment in DC?

The more she runs her mouth, the more she’s going find herself on an deserted island. Perhaps, her pals, Omar and Tlaib, will soon be on that island, but interestingly it appears they’ve backed away somewhat, while this moron can’t help herself.

She’s a hipster that’s never been told, No. I’m sure her dad gave her anything she wanted. If not, because he wanted to and could, but just to shut her up.

Payola!!!

She is the vanguard of the Third World politics that is invading the country.

Our country could put up with a few, but these payola driven little hitlers will be the death of us...literally.

My dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks senator Murray made a career in Washington. It can be done.

BTW, I see AOC as the enemy, pure and simple.

Everyday she creates a train wreck for herself. But she somehow slips out of that wrecked train to do it all again tomorrow.

It appears that she has been thoroughly indoctrinated in some kind of commie boot camp and has the active support of an organization which is far greater than just her Congressional staff.

“Pairing” of stories. What a novel concept.

It is not as if this kind of “pairing” were not done routinely and frequently by the mainstream media in relation to various reports on the comings and goings concerning Republicans and especially conservatives.

It just bites when it is turned upon the Democrat Socialists. An Alinsky tactic used upon THEM.

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
