AOC responds after Gingrich blasts her as a ‘cruel’ liar in op-ed
NY Post ^ | July 6, 2019 | 4:28pm | Mary Kay Linge

Cortez and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich engaged in a put-down battle over her recent visit to the US-Mexico border.

“Profoundly vicious, cruel and dishonest,” Gingrich said of the freshman Dem from NYC in a Fox News op-ed. “When you despise American values … lying is perfectly natural.”

“Ah yes, now Newt & the GOP are resorting to calling me a liar,” AOC tweeted Friday.

“I’ll take it as a compliment. Thanks,” she wrote, pointing to climate scientists and #MeToo survivors who, she said, Republicans have also accused of lying.

Gingrich actually undermines his credibility by blaming this all on the Democrats. The GOP had two years to fix this problem themselves and simply refused to do so. They are — AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN — just as complicit as the Democrats are.

Except, it isn't all Republicans, either. It has been the establishment types which include nearly all Democrats and a lot of Republicans.

Their have been enough of the Republican RINOs to keep the party from being effective with President Trump, for two years.

The way to hurt AOC is to dismiss her as an attention seeking lightweight who only succeeds at self promotion and nothing else.

How soon before she colors her hair green and gets some tattoos?

“HEY AOC. If you made your political points in a thong and barely there bra people would listen more to what you say.”

hehe

Lunatic Freshmen Women are Killing the Democrat Party
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon / FR Posted by EyesOfTX

Everyone is talking about lunatic congressional freshmen women today, and none of it is good. That’s really nothing all that new, but when Democrats have reached the point where their members of congress are even being slammed on CNN of all places, you know they have a problem. Watch this clip:

Ryan Saavedra ✔ @RealSaavedra CNN's John King slams Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) anti-Semitic remarks on the Holocaust: "Palestinian leaders at the time sided with Hitler"

In addition to their exploding antisemitism problem personified by Tlaib and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, the Democrats have obviously gotten some very bad polling data about their religion of Climate Change, and the insane “Green New Deal” being pushed by New York congressnitwit Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

That’s the only reasonable conclusion to reach when you see AOC issuing this tweet over the weekend: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @AOC This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it. Like the “world ending in 12 years” thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.

Max Kennerly ✔ @MaxKennerly I've seen criticism of "like 10 people." The ten richest Americans are worth $730 billion. The fourteen richest American families (excluding the Koch brothers, so no double-counting) are worth $511 billion. Together, they're worth more than 60% of Americans combined. https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1127270688925134849 … But there is no doubt at all that the former Bronx bartender was dead serious when she issued this tweet in April: Embedded video Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @AOC Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half. A #GreenNewDeal is our plan for a world and a future worth fighting for. How did we get here? What is at stake? And where are we going? Please watch & share widely ⬇️ I’m sooooo serious, y’all! OMG!

So, what has changed in the four weeks since that tweet was sent? Well, we know that every decision Democrats make is based on focus groups and polling data, so the obvious answer is that the “Green New Deal” and its 12-year “deadline” (her word, not anyone else’s) is being panned by the voters. When the polling goes south on any issue being pushed by the Democrats, the talking points must change. Thus, what was a hard “deadline” on April 17 becomes “O.M.G., y’all! I was like totes kidding and stuff about that whole 12-year thing, or something!” Let’s be painfully honest here: AOC has no clue what the word ‘sarcasm’ even means, would not know ‘dry humor’ if it snuck up and bit her on the, ummmm, ankle. Or something. As for Tlaib and her latest despicably antisemitic remarks over the weekend, well, here they are in case you missed them:

“There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people’s passports. And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.”

So, here’s a woman who gets a “calming feeling” when she thinks about an event in history in which more than 6 million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis and their collaborators. Oh, and their collaborators included the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Muhammad Amin al-Husayni, who happened to be the leader of the loosely-allied Arabs in the Middle East who called themselves “Palestinians.” There was no effort on the part of Tlaib’s “ancestors” to “create a safe haven for Jews” during this period of time. In fact, Jewish people had begun migrating back into the region in the early 1880s, and of course have a long history in that part of world dating back thousands of years. In fact, the Arab world – including the “Palestinians” in the region – rabidly opposed the creation of a Jewish state after World War II had ended, and refused to cooperate with it in any way. In 1964, these “Palestinians” – created the Palestinian Liberation Army and began conducting terror attacks on Jewish citizens in Israel.

The first leader of the PLO was a Lebanese national named Ahmad Shukeiri. In 1969, the PLO chose as its leader an Egyptian national, Yassir Arafat, not for his peaceful intentions but for his skills in conducting terrorist warfare. In 2006, Palestinians elected to be ruled by the terrorist organization known as Hamas, which still rules them today.

These are not “peaceful” people who voluntarily gave up land or anything else to “help” post-war Jews. That “calming feeling” Tlaib experiences when contemplating the barbaric deaths of 6 million Jews is based on a politically-motivated myth.

But Tlaib, along with AOC and fellow raging anti-Semite Ilhan Omar, are the new, ugly faces of today’s Democrat Party. And it seems that no matter what they say, no matter how repugnant their public declarations become, Nancy Pelosi will do nothing to discipline them.

Why? Simple: The repugnant, ugly, fantasy-based views they express are in fact mainstream thought in today’s Democrat Party. The reality is that these freshmen women are killing the Democrat Party not because of the insane things they believe, but because they so bluntly and frequently express them in public.

If you are Jewish (or Christian) and you vote for these people, you do so at your own peril. Then again, that holds true for all of us, and has for a long time now. That is all. Follow me on Twitter at @GDBlackmon

When I followed your link, I got this warning:

“Are you sure you want to view this community?

“This community is quarantined.”

I looked at it anyway. Of all the sites that would go into full censorship mode, I did not think that Reddit would be one.

Two years ago AOC was a bartender who couldn’t make change for a dollar without screwing it up. Now she is in the same headlines as the former Speaker of The House and is on TV every night. She is loving every minute of this. She will just keep saying what ever will get her more free publicity.

She reminds me of a sophomore Valley Girl. Always some smart-ass rejoinder, never considers that there might be some validity to the criticism. Childish narcissism, smug self-righteousness, infantile comebacks.

She reminds me of these guys.

The higher that number is, the more compromised the scientific community is.

I’m hoping she’s wrong for their sake.

The_Donald got “quarantined” (censored), right after the members started posting Project Veritas’s expose of the Google executive admitting political bias in their search algorithm results. The TD folks are a harmless group of patriots, many from military and law enforcement. Love that site, I just ignore the shrill idiotic “warning,” go past it. Crude jokes and hilarious memes that totally burn the socialists & globalists with biting pro-America humor and ridicule daily, and — they love POTUS! :)

Girl sure has a list of skirts to hide behind doesn’t she.

Nothing she says stands on it’s own, and if it gets too hot for her, she just ridicules those who objected for actually taking her serious.

Nobody with an IQ over room temperature takes her serious.
