Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-N.Y., might want to brush up on some history after asserting, incorrectly, that Republicans in Congress amended the Constitution to kick President Franklin Delano Roosevelt out of office.
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected," Ocasio-Cortez said Friday during a night hall event with MSNBC with Chris Hayes.
According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected:
"They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."

Congress just amends the Constitution, huh? They just take a vote? Maybe get one of those fancy super-majorities or something and WHAM! Constitution amended!
Boston University should demand their sheepskin back..................

I have never seen someone who supposedly has an Ivy League education that is so ignorant.
How in hell did she get a degree in ECONOMICS and be so damned stupid?.....................

Meme time!! Can anyone put AOC face on John Belushi when he gives the animal house pep speech???
Living history means rewriting it to say what you wish had happened just like a living Constitution is reinterpretted to mean what you wish it said.
This poor excuse for a decent human being, Democrat, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has no clue as to the history of these United States of America. Sad days for the American Republic when someone this ignorant of our history is elected to federal office. New Yorkers ain’t too bright in the brains department. Forgive them Lord, Almighty, for they know not what they do...the idiots screwed themselves.
Oh! And republicans created FDR’s cerebral hemorrhage and polio.
Why not? They accused President Reagan of creating AIDS.
I am going to start calling her Alexandria Imbecile-Cortez.
Why wasn’t she named after the person-of-color, Tenzig Norgay?..................her parents were racists..............
Wow...the GOP was powerful back then...
They stopped a dead guy from running for President...
I wonder if she has an intern to tell her when to breathe/blink eyes.
They couldn’t do that now....................
