Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York believes that the stream of attacks that GOP lawmakers and the conservative media spew her way stem from her gender.
I am as powerful as a man, and it drives them crazy, the freshman congresswoman told David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, after she emerged as the Republican Partys bête noire over the course of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference that ended on Saturday.
Ocasio-Cortez was responding to comments made by a writer for the feminist news outlet Jezebel, who said women in politics are characterized as either hideous harpies, such as Hillary Clinton, or "pretty idiots." "To her critics, Ocasio-Cortez is firmly in the pretty idiot category, Jezebel writer Ashley Reese said.
In The New Yorker interview, Ocasio-Cortez said she agreed with the comments. "I feel like I predicted it from day one, she said. The idea that a woman can be as powerful as a man is something that our society cant deal with.
Ocasio-Cortez, who worked as a bartender and waitress at a taco restaurant before leading an upstart campaign to win the race for New Yorks 14th Congressional District against a 10-term incumbent, said that virtually every aspect of her background was offensive not only to the GOP establishment but also to President Donald Trump.
I can see Trump being enormously upset that a 29-year-old Latina, who is the daughter of a domestic worker, is helping to build the case to get his financial records. I think that adds insult to injury to him, she said.

I remember what Jock Ewing said his son Bobby when Bobby said Jock had given him the power to run Ewing Oil.
“If I gave you power I gave you nothing. Power, real Power is something you take” Jock Ewing from “Dallas”
Truer words never spoken.
I don’t think she’s ever been challenged and has always, always gotton away with everything because she’s a minority woman.
She’s not as bright as she’d like us to think.
The PAC is affiliated with Justice Democrats, a collaboration between Chakrabarti and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, Thompson noted.
Who might Saikat Chakrabarti be?
Again there are no coincidences at this level!:
Arrogant & ignorant twit.
Bwahahaha.... Yeah. OK. That mental midget has no idea what “powerful” means.
Let her do Marine boot camp and go through 54 hours straight of the crucible. Men and women get it on to earn the EGA. My hat off to all who are watching our 6.
Back in my day it was MCCRES before a battalion was fit for deployment ( I know, that was putting work in to join the Fleet); no woman was gonna pass that (sorry ladies, just the truth). And since I’m lifting some skirt here; “doc” was the hardest of us all. Hand to God never saw him taking a break. When us grunts were taking a “break”; “doc” was tending us.
A freeper a few weeks back summed up something these idiot females in congress do not understand. They have never gone against the likes of an American patriot with resolve. These AOC types have no idea what it is like to tango with an American Man or Woman outside their shitty city.
Having to say she’s as powerful as a man, ....
you know she isn’t.
And that man is dunderhead Bill Maher.
Honestly i doubt she last out the year.
yep
AOCrazy Retard.
Ruthi is pumping iron for more dead babies and homosexual marriage!
He really needs to lay of the just for men stuff
Momo.
This all reminds me of a kids witch movie where the last scene shows a girl in a straight jacket tied to a bed saying over and over “I can fly, I can fly”
Yeah no doubt.
I do like occasional cortex.
Except I haven’t seen the occasional part yet.
I suspect I wont anytime soon..
There needs to be another casting call for AOC’s replacement.
If this was a republican in a no matter how safe district, a democrat would replace her, i.e. Roy Moore. But New York will just put another democrat back in.
Dream on!
More powerful than a man???
She is but 1 of 435, which makes her..
Not very good at math.
