Cortez Knows Why She's a 'Lightning Rod': Trump Needs Another Woman to 'Vilify,' She Says
People ^ | 4/02/19 | SAM GILLETTE

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expected to become a “lightning rod” for conservatives, she told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Friday during a taped talk about her Green New Deal — an expansive legislative proposal to fight climate change and social inequality that’s controversial even among some of her fellow Democrats.

But, Ocasio-Cortez told Hayes, she didn’t anticipate this amount of anger.

“[The criticism] is next level,” the 29-year-old democratic socialist from New York City told Hayes during their talk, which was recorded in her home borough of the Bronx.

“I didn’t expect them to make total fools of themselves,” she told Hayes. “I expected a little more nuance.”

So says the nuanced bartender. Did she ever score that $7 croissant?

She is one of those people who cannot ever “lose” an argument because she simply maintains that she is winning, and you are foolish for maintaining idiotic ideas like “Paris is the capital of France” when she has clearly shown that the answer is London.

I remember when People was only about stories like one Hollywood idiot marrying some other Hollywood idiot. Like almost all other magazines, it looks like the left has turned it political.

She is a horrible example for women. Watching her (and, indeed, most liberal women), one could easily conclude that women are too stupid to be allowed to participate in politics. She makes herself a target by unabashedly spouting pure stupidity every time she gets a chance.

Actually, I haven’t heard Trump say that much about her at all, she’s just hoping he will.

“’Vilify’? That’s a purdy big word for a bartender.”

That’s what I was thinking. Has anyone noticed whether she’s wearing a small earpiece to receive coaching from her handlers?

Hey Airhead: You’d be vilified if you were an old white man; because you are stupid and communist, not because you are female.

Oh, and you are not a woman. You are a girl-child put in a job for an adult.

This is how women argue about many things. It isn't about facts, it's morality. In her mind, she's more morally-correct than you, therefore her answer is correct and yours isn't. If she claims Jefferson was the first president and you claim it's Washington, no amount of history books or encyclopedias will change her mind because YOU left the toilet seat up again! The man is left flabbergasted at how this is related but her point is that she's right because she's a better person. Therefore, you're wrong. This is why men can't win arguments with women because objective facts don't matter to her.

Apparently it appears AOC still does not recognize herself for the idiot she really is.

If you stop and count, think of all the “women” who vilify Trump, everyday...starting with Cortez, then there’s Waters, Pelosi, Fauxahauntus, etc.

Women give him a lot more grief than the other way around.

Cortez just makes herself such an easy target for “vilification”. She short on “smarts” and thin-skinned to boot.

Exactly! She is desperate for Trump to say something about her. He isn’t taking the bait. I think he even said something somewhat nice about her. That must be eating at her. “The GND, done by a young bartender, 29-years-old. A young bartender, wonderful young woman. ... You have Senators that are professionals...white hair...and they’re standing behind her and they’re shaking, they’re petrified of her”

Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue. (NIV)

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. (KJV)

Lincoln and Twain are both attributed to:

“Better to remain quiet and thought a fool
Than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt”

So... no matter what AOC sez... it ain’t Trump needing another woman to vilify, it is her steady stream of inane spew that is to blame. It’s all on her, she owns it.

Additionally the MSM seemingly cannot help but further her status as a blabbar-mouthed dunce, Not because they wish her ill, but because “it is their nature” (Aesop).

And, as Napoleon Bonaparte is oft quoted... “Never interfere when the enemy is making a mistake.”

Are we sure she’s not a cyborg invented by Trump’s people, designed to appear mostly human, and also help him get re-elected?
