AOC thinks “austerity is murder.” She’s an idiot. Unfortunately, she has a following.

Typical leftist = AOC. Craig Shirley took her patent ignorance and lies about Reagan’s alleged racism head on with specificity. She responds by changing the subject to AIDS, Iran Contra, etc. The old strawman technique. She’s shallow, ignorant leftist who unfortunately is in Congress.

Here’s an hilarious montage of wisdom according to AOC:

“AOC Gets Philosophical at SXSW: Like, You Know, Like, Whatever, You Know? [Montage]”

From my own memories:

The gutting of our mental health system +
- The explosion of homelessness under his watch +

Democrats organized and relentlessly pushed to end institutionalization of the mentally ill, who were then forced on to the streets. These poor souls were deemed to be spiritual beings who deserved autonomy and freedom. It was deemed wrong to *force* these folks, many of them schizophrenics, to continue taking their medication, resulting in the “explosion of homelessness”.

As for Iran Contra and the crack epidemic, maybe we should ask the CIA? What sort of control did they exert within the Reagan Administration, considering that GHW Bush was his VP, successfully put in place by the Deep State to keep Reagan in line?

Maybe instead of insinuating I’ve never read a book, be open to the idea that we’ve read different ones. https://t.co/aP96oCCBwm— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 11, 2019

This is what comes from the notion that each person "has their own truth". It doesn't really matter what the historical records show. She has her own opinion of Reagan. Therefore she wins the argument.

AOC knows what she knows. She is impervious to “schooling” about anything.

"Maybe instead of insinuating I’ve never read a book, be open to the idea that we’ve read different ones."

That statement demonstrates that "Occasionally Cogent" is quite an accurate moniker. First, Bauman insinuated nothing. She quite clearly STATED that OC never read any. However, it is indeed quite possible that the utterly useless "education" OC received never gave a positive analysis of Reagan's life. That says as much about the liberal teaching and media professions as it does about OC's reaction to them. If a liberal doesn't say it, it didn't happen, and anything a liberal does say, can't be disputed.

It’s a trick. The Demonicrats are using AOC rants to make Betobutthead look like an Einstein.

“...pitted white working class Americans against brown and black working Americans ...”

Interesting comments from Ass On Call (AOC)... especially since:
A: She wasn’t even alive then.
B: Her party is the ONLY one pitting minorities against us.

Just sayin’...

Every time she opens her mouth, the Stupid pours out.

This isn't about what AOC knows or doesn't know.

She is a talking head...she knows nothing. She is not a person...she is the AFLAC duck or the GEICO gecko.

Considering that she has about 2 months worth of experience in Congress, she is already proving to be a deadly weapon of the Left.

Her puppet masters tell her what to say and she says it...and the media gives her coast to coast coverage. Of course, given that the media is a Leftist organ, she will never have to face any negative questions that require an intelligent response.

As an aside, when has anyone on the Left had to answer any incisive questions about the BS they spread.

The bottom line is this: don't underestimate AOC. Whether she is an idiot or not is beside the point.

AOC is a strategy, a technique, a tool...and, so far, it's working.

Some people have even suggested that AOC is wearing an ear piece so her puppet masters can feed her talking points and responses in real time.

Whatever they are doing, she is getting better with practice.

She didn't get schooled. Her audience hears AOC...they aren't going to listen to or hear anyone who "schools" her.

Mr. Reagan (The YouTube Channel) thinks AOC is a puppet candidate that 'auditioned' for the position.

No matter how accurately the misrepresentations of AO-C are targeted, and yes, even demolished, she deflects and subtly changes the subject, never admitting to a mistaken conclusion on her part, but always pushing to steal valor from another with whom she shares no common values or principles.

This may play well with her compatriots, but again, they also have little in common with what has historically been regarded as the American Dream, a great experiment that utilizes the powerful wealth generation system known as capitalism with the application of the law code of Moses, the Ten Commandments, with the benevolent blessing of Christ, the Golden Rule.

The youth of our country has been sadly and greatly miseducated in the realities of today’s world, ignoring both history and the study of the “hard” sciences, opting instead for some vague misappropriation of the term “humanities”, an idealization of mankind as some sort of self-sufficient entity without need of moral guidance.
