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 dont 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. Thats what tokenism is. (snip)
But Turning Point USAs 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. Dont 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. Im 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.

Good. Somebody needs to call Rep Ocasio-Cortez on the stupidity of some of her statements. Maybe it is not too late for her to learn something, if she is corrected strongly enough. I personally doubt it, but maybe.

I hope everyone know about James Woods’ run-in with AOC. He said her Green New Deal was stupid. So here’s the exchange:
Yup. If you dont like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis. Until then, were in charge - and youre just shouting from the cheap seats.

Woods shot back, So, you may have missed this, but the way it works in America is YOU work for US. The last time somebody told Americans to sit down and shut up was 1776. If you ever learn to read, look it up. You are not only a idiot, youre an arrogant idiot, and there is nothing more dangerous.
Careful, AOC, you’re in a hatchet fight with a squirt gun.
Youve got to be kidding!
oaf is not eager to learn.....shes not teachable!
She just wants to spew!
Cortez tees herself up to be mercilessly berated. She is stupidity and arrogance on afterburner .
Rationally, you are correct; no one is going to logically argue her out of opinions she did not arrive at logically in the first place. But psychologically, if she gets enough negative feedback when she says or does something stupid, she may stop doing it. This would probably just be a surface behavioral change, but it might, might I say, force a corresponding change in her internalized beliefs.
You did report those tips to the IRS, didn't you?

Lol.
When people disagree with her it confirms what she already knows.
Everyone else is stupid.
THIS!!! We are talking about the special snowflake generation where everyone gets a trophy.
Slightly off topic, when is Charles Payne on now?? He used to be on Fox Business at 6:00 p.m..
He has a great show and if anyone can tell me when it is I would be grateful!
You go, girl!

Used amply in my day. Effective.
I *LOVE* it!!!!!
Payne’s on today on FBN from 1 to 2 p.m.

It is sad that only black conservatives are able to reply to this nonsense, but I’m glad that more and more are finally stepping up to do so.
