AOC ‘runs away’ from opponent Rich Valdes at Puerto Rican Day Parade
NY Post ^ | 6/09/19 | Kevin Sheehan, Bruce Golding

Posted on 06/09/2019 4:00:05 PM PDT by Libloather

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned tail on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue to avoid a potential Republican challenger as they both marched in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday, her political opponent said.

Talk-radio producer Rich Valdes told The Post that he tried to challenge the freshman Democratic congresswoman to a debate on the merits of capitalism versus socialism when he spotted her near West 47th Street.

But Ocasio-Cortez “cut her handshaking short, jerked her hand back and jetted to the other side of the street,” Valdes said.

“She literally ran!” he said.

“I thought this was a good time to try and get a response but I honestly only saw the back of her head as she trotted across the street.”

A glass of water will win in her district if it has a D attached to it.

Not surprising. She is dumber than a bag of hammers, and she knows it.

If she doesn't know that, she is dumber than a box of rocks.

As the shirt slogan:

I Refuse to Have An
Intellectual Argument
Against an Unarmed Opponent.

quoteinvestigator.com/2014/06/24/wit-battle/

in this source it says many versions exist,not from Shakespeare or Wilde but one from an 1866 novel which the author, Abby Buchanan Longstreet, released under a pseudonym. “The blood swung its reddest pennant out over the boy’s cheeks, but Trissilian’s mood was not to be resented, or resisted. A battle of wits was to be fought, and the Boy in Blue was unarmed to-night.”
In December 1928 Walter Winchell’s widely-distributed gossip column printed an instance of the joke. The punch line was credited to the comedian and actor Frank Fay who was engaged in a sharp disagreement with an interior decorator:
“Mr. Fay, is this going to be a battle of wits?”
“If it is,” was the indifferent retort, “you have come unarmed!”

Looks like they got to you, too.

Bullies is a juvenile schoolyard epithet
that no adult should utter.

Thugs are thugs.

Word has it from the tinfoil crowd that she is an actor, hired to play the green congressman role, by a shadowy special interest cabal. Given all her lines. Can’t do extempore.

“Word has it from the tinfoil crowd that she is an actor, hired to play the green congressman role, by a shadowy special interest cabal.”

Part of that “special interest cabal” is/was The Young Turks according to the tinfoil crowd, who (allegedly) conducted interviews to hire those with potential to stir the pot.

Pretty sure that’s the straight up truth about her having handlers that are controlling her every move.

I like Rich Valdes, from what I have read about him, and I think most of the people in the district would like him a lot better than her.

Most people in the district didn’t vote the last time around because there was no no other party and no other candidate there. Also, the Dem opponent of Ocasional Cortex never even bothered to campaign because he had been in office for some 20 years. And that’s what Bronx voters were sick of. At least she showed up.

So - Go Rich! This could be a game-changer.
