Behind the scenes with Ocasio-Cortez in new Netflix documentary 'Knock Down the House'
NBC "News" ^ | April 29, 2019 | By Alex Seitz-Wald (D-NBC)

Just two years ago, a typical day for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez involved collecting signatures to get on the ballot for her New York City congressional race in the morning before reporting to her job as a bartender at a taco restaurant in the afternoon.

A new documentary shows how she'd go downstairs to the restaurant's basement and lean into a giant ice machine to scoop cubes into a bucket before hauling them back upstairs - and the then-27-year-old was well aware of how ridiculous it all looked.

"If I were, like, a normal, rational person, I would have dropped out this race a long time ago," Ocasio-Cortez says in the feature-length documentary, "Knock Down the House," set to premiere on Netflix and in select theaters on Wednesday.

"People don't see waitresses as having a quote-un-quote real job, but my experience in hospitality has prepared me so well for this race: I'm used to being on my feet 18 hours a day. I'm used to receiving a lot of heat. I'm used to people trying to make me feel bad," she added.

They assume that she will have a long term affect. I lean towards her being a flash in the pan.

I'm used to being on my feet 18 hours a day.

That's an improvement over Kamala Harris who was off her feet much of the time while with Willie Brown. Waitress versus mistress, like whatever. Both dumb as rocks.

She’s unqualified for anything that doesn’t include a wet tee shirt.

Giving a public platform to an incredibly misguided person like this is unforgivable.

Netflix reaches a new low...

Yet another reason to not have a Netflix account. Same reason I cancelled HBO, Showtime, and all the rest of the premium repetitive rerun crap. Still have directv though but that was for sports. Now that the SJW are ruining that too I see the day when they will see me go bye bye. Have had them since 1998 when they were brand new.

I understand why you and others have done this.

There are still decent things on.

I hate to back myself into a corner where all my media options have been turned off one by one.

I got rid of cable. That’s as far as I want to go.

I know. Nobody sets themselves up like that, because they’re too smart to do it.

Just one more example of her being clueless.
