I give AOC that credit for taking an opportunity like that and winning.

You are giving credit to the wrong person. She was a bartender. She didn't figure it out. She's being used.

Give me a break. AOC checked the right boxes: Hispanic, young, and female. Anyone else would have lost against Crowley. So give the devil her due even if she had backing from dark leftist groups/individuals.

It is very difficult to unseat an incumbent, especially a Democrat.

“You are giving credit to the wrong person. She was a bartender. She didn’t figure it out. She’s being used.”

Kind of. I agree with you more, but she is a trustafarian. She had a free place to live and an inheritance.

She bar tendered and was able to be a political activist who travelled around a lot.

But yes, she is not the brains behind the operation.

The brains is a Nazi admirer who is her chief of staff.
