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.”

Ha!
I appreciate rocks and hammers more than her, that is for certain.
At least those two things aren’t outright trying to destroy my life, and can be used for good things!
Lol! You nailed it!
LOL!
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.

I basically agree with this. I think she was chosen for her vapid mind and youngish “good looks” (as perceived by some, evidently), given some campaign financing in a district that a leftist with an IQ greater than the freezing point of water could win and then, as you say, is regularly given lines to read.
I really do believe that some version of that is true. I don’t know all the details, of course. But I think the big picture is she’s a puppet run by masters.
I've read the same. Her now Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, started "Justice Democrats" PAC after working for Bernie Sanders. One of his heros is Subhas Chandra Bose, an East Indian anti-colonial socialist, who dreamed of a nazi-communist government for India, by whatever means necessary.
The Justice Democrats also aligned with the "Young Turks". Between them they fronted a couple of hundred Congressional candidates last election, intent on gaining a foothold in the institution for eventual takeover, but only AOC succeeded. The group interviewed potential candidates for the "job" ... I don't know if they were selecting for actors or for politicians or for something else.
Saikat Chakrabati formed several legal entities with names similar to Justice Democrats PAC and is under investigation for funneling money to them to avoid compliance with Federal Election Laws. But, he's on the side of the lawless and exempt Democrats, so he's not likely to suffer any consequences.
Interesting. Thanks.
True. Notice how she made a big splash, to get the meme out there, and now kind of quiet.
Yup. They thought they could sell her but they didn’t reckon with how amazingly stupid she is.
I like Bonsai....and practice it.
Never hurt anyone....and it's a good thing.
I like bonsai too...I find it very attractive.
The Japanese are an interesting people.
Capable of such cruelty as we saw in WWII, but also capable of great sensitivity and appreciation of beauty.
I lived there as a kid, and loved the place.
Really? Make your case.
I just did. Bully is a grade school playground term.
To use it in adult conversations is pathetic.
Just another sign of a society retrogressing to childhood.
A society where Trigger isn’t a horse, but an excuse to
relive one’s terrible twos.
Assertions are not a case. Try again?
She was just late for a pole dance and had to run.
Try? I’ve better use of my time
than to be spending it on you.
Lame.
You’re right, gogeo. If anyone can’t see it, it’s too bad and not worth debating with them.
