ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ WARNS DONALD TRUMP: ‘THE LAST GUY WHO UNDERESTIMATED ME LOST’
Newsweek ^ | 4/3/19 | Ramsey Touchberry

Posted on 04/03/2019 12:17:32 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

esponding to fresh criticism from President Donald Trump Tuesday evening that her Green New Deal climate change proposal was “ done by a young bartender,” Democrat Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez told Newsweek Wednesday that the “last guy who underestimated me lost.”

“That’s all I gotta say about that,” she added.

In an unexpected upset, the freshman New York congresswoman and former bartender unseated incumbent Democratic Congressman Joseph Crowley in her 2018 primary election.

Ocasio-Cortez has faced continued criticism from Republicans and the president for her ambitious climate change proposal, which seeks to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and for the U.S. to operate on 100 percent renewable energy by 2030—a feat critics say is unrealistic, in addition to overly expensive.

“A young bartender, wonderful young woman, the Green New Deal. The first time I heard it, I said, ‘That's the craziest thing,’” Trump said Tuesday evening at a fundraising dinner for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

But he told Republicans not to kill the proposal just yet.

“Don't kill it because we want to be able to run against it,” the president said. “If they beat me with the Green New Deal, I deserve to lose.”

In a Senate vote last week, which Democrats classified as political showboating by Republicans while the GOP said it gave Democrats the opportunity to express their support on the record, the Green New Deal failed to advance. In protest to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell putting the non-binding resolution up for a vote before having hearings or debates, Democrats voted "present" with Republicans voting against it. The final vote was 0-57.

Despite House Democratic leadership showing little willingness to consider the Green New Deal as a whole, Ocasio-Cortez told Newsweek that was not the point of the proposal.

Why she thinks she can get up in the morning and say to herself, “I know better than Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Sam Adams, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln,...and I’m special”, I have no idea! She’s not “special”, she’s a terrible human being. You don’t set out to do what she has in mind for the American people and not suffer the consequences.

IIRC, she got elected with 12,000 votes total.

I believe that was for the primary which actually sealed the outcome.. The November election she pulled in ~100K votes with the closest challenger at around $10K votes if my memory serves me correctly..

If she was my daughter I’d at least threaten to disown her.

When I voted in 2016, there were marxist posters all over the walls of the high school.

‘THE LAST GUY WHO UNDERESTIMATED ME LOST’
She's too dense and full of herself to realize how many people, really intelligent people, have underestimated him and lost.

THE LAST WOMAN WHO UNDERESTIMATED TRUMP LOST!...................

How time flies and we forget. Hillary wanted to run against Trump in the general election and the press accommodated her wishes during the primary season. LOL..
