If this was Sarah Palin, the media would have dispatched 50 reporters to Westchester to investigate whether anyone ever saw her near a garbage disposal.

Well anyone with an IQ that reaches the “trainable” level, should be able to run a garbage disposal safely. When I had toddlers about, just to be on the safe side, I unplugged the garbage disposal when I was not finished cleaning up the kitchen, and then plug it in when I was cooking/cleaning. I was young then, and getting down on under the sink to unplug the disposal was a quick easy chore. Personally, I would rather do without my dishwasher than my garbage disposal. I do compost the bigger scraps for my garden, but I would hate to have to deal with all the icky little stuff or have it clog up the dishwasher. AOC is an idiot if she feels she cannot safely operate a garbage disposal or that it is environmentally damaging.

Maybe she doesn’t, it is my understanding that on the east coast they are not very popular. However, west of the Rockies (and probably west of the Mississippi), they are de rigueur. Here on the left coast, perhaps for the first time, she appears very silly. She would do well to remember, should she decide to run for national office (God forbid), that way out west (and maybe way out midwest) garbage disposals are considered a necessity for everyone who has kitchen and actually cooks in it. If she tries to create federal legislation to ban garbage disposals, she actually might kill off the democrat party for good. Silly silly girl!

It goes into the garbage and then out to landfills/garbage dumps.

Growing up in NYC, I never saw one, moved away long before they became "legal" there.

Whilst living in Chicago, NEVER once saw a garb age disposal in ANY of the apartments on the Gold Coast; though I did/do know people who did have then...but they lived in houses in the city or burbs of Ill.!

AOC is an IDIOT, stupid beyond words; however, on this one topic, I have to agree with her...they are "terrifying" and I sgtill don't have one in my house.

And given the crap she is coming out with, it speaks for itself.

She is fed what she says. She's a puppet. That's why she fails so miserably when somebody asks her an unscripted question.

I have one now, I hate it. I am thinking of replacing my sink anyway, so it will eventually go. Grinds up forks!

I'v e heard and read a LOT of horror stories about them, from people who DO have them and surprisingly "love" them.

When we built this house, I demanded to NOT have one put into either of my kitchen sinks.

The "eating" of forks, knives too...are the usual stories I have heard from friends and/or relations I know who have them.

Anyone “terrified” of a garbage disposal is a low IQ moron. She has no business in public office, she’s too stupid to find her own @ss with both hands.

Wow, I don’t even know we’re to start....so I won’t. But I must ask is this a post from “the onion”?

You're from California and I bet that you grew up with a garbage disposal.

AOC is a lunatic; however, you don't 1) understand what it's like to never have had a garbage disposal 2) why those who've never had one might not be comfortable with having one 3) have the ability to even begin to try to grasp WHY others might not want one.

Nope, NOT from The Onion at all...just an honest opinion and story about something that others have said.

I actually found, and called, the agent who sold the Yorktown Heights house that AOC grew up in. I confirmed that the house contained a garbage disposal when it was sold.

You know, REAL “investigative journalism.”
