Cortez says Fox News is now 'AOC TMZ,' blames conservative network for unfavorable poll

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday called Fox News “AOC TMZ” and blamed the conservative network for her poor favorability rating in a new poll.

A Gallup poll released Friday showed that more Americans, 41 percent, viewed her unfavorably than favorably (31 percent). Her unfavorably rating climbed up from 26 percent in September, while her favorability rating also increased from 24 percent, meaning her net favorability dropped from -2 percentage points to -10 percentage points.

Ocasio-Cortez responded by tweeting that she has net favorable ratings from women, people ages 18 to 34 and people who are not white.

“If you want to know what subconscious bias looks like, it’s a headline saying ‘AOC is underwater with every group EXCEPT women, nonwhites, and 18-34 year olds,’” she tweeted. “So older, conservative white men are considered “everyone” and everyone else is discounted as an exception. Cool.”

“The reason people know more is bc Fox News has turned into ‘AOC TMZ’ (no offense to TMZ), so awareness is growing w/ GOPers,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “@JaneMayerNYer has reported deeply on this propaganda machine + it will be aimed at any Dem they want. Nothing changes that. We can’t be scared by that.”

She can't shaddap. She simply cannot shaddap.

She must be really limber. I’ve no idea how she can walk around with her feet in her mouth 24/7.

So, the fact that she is the most stupid human in the multiverse has nothing to do with it?

And as a bonus, direct fact shots of her when she’s trying to think are actually frightening.

I think Pelosi and gang are moving behind her back to rid the party of this menace. We’ll see.

I’m sure that costing New York 25,000 well paid jobs has nothing to do with it. Wanting to eliminate fuel, planes, cars, cows and rebuild every building wouldn’t bother your average voter either.

I hope she doesn’t shaddap! I swear she’s on Trump’s payroll!

Refusal to think or the inability to think leads to ignorance and a sabotaged psychology, which leads to fear of reality, which leads to even more evasion. It is a vicious circle.

I second your use of “Cortez” to tag AOC.
AOC gives her too much respect, like JFK or LBJ.
If AOC is used, it should be pronounced Ayoc. (Mark Levin hat tip).

But to really vex her and drive down her numbers, call her Cortez alone, and remind all her SJW followers that Cortez was an European conquistador who slaughtered native Mexicans.

Use Alinskey tactics against the Left. Make Ayoc Cortez defend her own European imperialist lineage.

Could this be a ‘rope a dope’ by the Democrats? Are they propping up so many extreme leftists that they will come back to Joe Biden and claim he is ‘moderate’?

She is probably right about that. They merely show video clips of what she is saying.

Sorry PRincess. You got elected before most Americans had heard your Daisy Duck voice making goofy and ignorant statements. I heard you for the first time last week. Your favorables are dropping now that they know how goofy you are. Every time you open your big mouth, I start laughing.

Is she dumb enough to be that up front about poll numbers? Are they THAT important to her? Is that WHY she ran for Congress? What does it matter? Do the job you are there for and keep your mouth shut about everything else. We do not need to hear it!!! NO ONE likes a mouthy woman!!!!!

If Cortez saw herself as others do, she would understand why she’s viewed unfavorably.

She’s just working herself up to “full court race card”, since her idiocy on the issues has bombed.

Standby.

If she’s really that popular and that many really agree with her, then she need not come out and play the victim card.

Losing your misplaced confidence cortez?

“”your Daisy Duck voice””

That could be it - all I know is it’s ONE of the most irritating voices I’ve heard - along with about 4-5 females on FOX News which excludes me from watching most of their shows anymore! WHERE DO women learn that irritating, scratchy, whiny, nasally way of talking?
