Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested during a talk on Saturday that America is "garbage" and that former President Ronald Reagan presented a "racist" vision of the country that "pitted" white working class people against minorities in order "to screw over all working-class Americans."
Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks while speaking at the left-leaning South by Southwest Conference & Festivals in Austin, Texas.
"One perfect example, I think a perfect example of how special interests and the powerful have pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans in order to just screw over all working-class Americans, is Reaganism in the '80s when he started talking about welfare queens," Ocaiso-Cortez said. "So you think about this image of welfare queens and what he was really trying to talk about was ... this like really resentful vision of essentially black women who were doing nothing that were 'sucks' on our country."
"And it's this whole tragedy of the commons type of thinking where it's like because these one, this one specific group of people, that you are already kind of subconsciously primed to resent, you give them a different reason that's not explicit racism but still rooted in a racist caricature," Ocasio-Cortez continued. "It gives people a logical reason, a 'logical' reason to say, 'oh yeah, no, toss out the whole social safety net.'"

Seeing how she wasn't alive a single day during Reagan's presidency, she was taught this somewhere.
Most likely from a liberal/socialist point of view.
Another commie that can’t seem to express a cogent thought.
Her off the cuff recall of professorial indoctrination needs practice. And EVERY university student is steeped in this nonsense.
Let’s hope Dim “leadership” never manages to shut her up.
It’s amazjng how many lies these commies can make up
DNC is the party of the race obsessed.
The only garbage about America is peoplelike AOC.
They stand in the ideological cesspool that is socialist thought and demand the rest of us to dive on in. Some protest that they’re not actively socialists, or that they only want a little socialism for the safety net ... they’re standing in a cesspool!
When people are standing in shit I don’t care how shallow it is where they are standing: I don’t want to be dragged in!
... or dragged in any deeper that these POS Arbitrary government loving, Constitution hating, baby killing, poofterphile, high tax and even higher spending nitwits have already dragged the nation since FDR.
I want out of their crap entirely! The cesspool drained, covered over and gone.
Welfare queens was actually leftist projection. They created the term and then blamed Reagan for mentioning it, so they can keep blacks on the Dem plantation. Blacks enjoyed huge success under the Reagan administration, which is why the Dems created the Democratic Leadership Council (Third Way) which co-opted conservatism because Reagan wiped out socialism.
This is just projection. Playing groups against each other is a leftist, cultural Marxism tactic.
The ancient Dem leaders will not be able to shut this rabble rouser up. Combine her with all the old hatred from the Dem Black Caucus and the new hatred from the moslems and we are in for a rough ride. This message resonates with her base of high school and university students stewed in the Hate America / Hate Business cauldron.
The bigger problem is that there are a significant number of people in the US who think this same way, and believe this same drivel.
The c*nt wasn’t even alive when Reagan was President. All she knows is what she’s read, or been told by America’s enemies. She needs to go away...NOW!!
No, President Reagan did not. That is a leftist lie.
However, the Occasional Cotex is pitting minorities against whites, just like Obammie the Commie, just like every leftist out there.
Again, this leftist is using Projection.
“This message resonates with her base of high school and university students stewed in the Hate America / Hate Business cauldron.”
Precisely.
I realize shes "good for our side" but who can stand listening to this low functioning piece of American trash.
I was going to say her brain was garbage but it is probably closer to fecal matter.
I grew up thinking everyone adored Reagan for what he did for America, never heard an unkind thing about him from regular people.
Until I got to college....
Reagan isn’t the one stereotyping blacks as “drama queens”. That’s AOC exclusively.
But the problem is her generation believes this crap. If it is not countered, and it won’t be effectively, this crap and much more that she spews will be taken as gospel and will be impossible to refute.
The ominous signs are there. America’s cultural Red Guard from our schools and universities is growing and becoming a force in this country’s real life.
We have got to encourage anyone who has a voice to refute this garbage at every opportunity.
Dinesh D’Souza is doing yeoman’s work in this arena of college campuses but he is just one man and many universities won’t even let him speak. His movies are terrific. And his videos are doing great work out there.
But I fear the new Red Guard is winning and we will all be negatively (understatement) affected by their dogma.
Economics really? You’ve got to be kidding. There is no way she passed any of those classes unless they gave her the grades.
