Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., found herself mired in another controversy last week when she came to the defense of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.,...Tlaib called Patton “a prop,” which prompted Ocasio-Cortez to tweet: “Total bravery from @RashidaTlaib as she reminds the nation that tokenism *is* racism.”
The democratic socialist came under fire for the racial charged comment, with Fox News’ Charles Payne asking Ocasio-Cortez how many black staff members she has. “We have Black staff,” she replied. “We don’t parade them around to show the world how diverse our team is, and use that as some kind of evidence of the absence of racism. That’s what tokenism is.” (snip)
But Turning Point USA’s Candace Owens responded to shred Ocasio-Cortez, calling the newly elected Democrat “radically stupid” for insulting an educated black man by accusing him of tokenism. “The audacity of you to accuse a black man of tokenism. Have you lost your mind? You are a puppet for the party of the KKK, slavery, and Jim Crowe,” Owens tweeted. “Don’t you dare try to step to an educated black man and insult him for not being as radically stupid as you.” She also ripped Ocasio-Cortez for what she called a racial slur. “I’m not even done. A democratic congresswoman using a RACIAL SLUR to describe black conservatives is NOT OKAY. How dare you?!!!” she tweeted. “Referring to blacks as coons, tokens, or house negroes is a RACIAL SLUR. You are absolute filth for this @AOC.”

Nope. Water off a ducks back with ALL the MSM on her side, oooing and aahing at her every flinch and syllable.
It’s not a Republican she has to worry about. If she stays on this path, Nancy will find a tough opponent. You can bet there’s talk going on behind the scenes right now. AOC worries the left more than the right.
Reapportionment is coming and New York is slated to lose a seat. Guess who’s got one foot on a banana peel with Pelosi and Schumer?
FTA: “Meadows invited Lynne Patton, a Department of Housing and Urban Development official to counter former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s claim that the president is a racist.” To set the record straight, Meadows said he invited Patton because she was a long-time close friend of Cohen who could contradict any lies Cohen might make. That she has dark skin is the only thing the Dims saw. This reminds me of the “I’m rubber and you’re glue ...” reverse taunt.
Charles Payne was just on Fox News talking about another subject, but they dropped a tease that he will be back on to discuss the dust up with AOC. It should be good, this stupid woman picked a fight with the wrong guy.
The irony is that Harris, Cortez, and the rest are all tokens of white billionaires Soros, Steyer, Bezos, Buffet, etc, etc, etc
Well said!
Almost all of the people at Faux News are anti-Trump.
