President Donald Trump compared socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to former Argentine first lady Eva Perón — often called "Evita" — in a new book that is set to go on sale in mid-July. Ocasio-Cortez took the comparison as a compliment, despite the fact that Evita was a Nazi sympathizer who helped her husband, Argentine President Juan Perón, destroy Argentina's economy by implementing socialism and eroded civil liberties in the nation.
The book, "American Carnage," states that Trump saw Ocasio-Cortez on a cable news show and said: "I called her Eva Perón. I said, 'That's Eva Perón. That's Evita."
Trump reportedly told his team to contact then-Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) — who Ocasio-Cortez upset in the Democratic primary — to tell him that "he better get off his fat ass and start campaigning."
Ocasio-Cortez responded to the comparison by tweeting out quotes from Eva Perón, writing: "'I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.' - Evita Perón".
Ocasio-Cortez added: "'I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So the government brought in an eight hour working day, sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go.' - Evita Perón".

Occasional Cortex is too ignorant to know she is stupid...no way she knows Eva Peron was a Nazi sympathizer.
I am coming to find that AOC may well be a Trump plant to make him even that much more successful. She needs to keep talking.....please!
And the Peron’s took Argentina from one of the richest countries in the WORLD to a model for present day Venezuela with their socialist practices. AOC is a loon!
Boston University should hang their heads in shame that they gave her a degree.
To AOC, that is success!
BU should revoke her degree.
Don’t cry for me New York City.

Either that or she’s a Dem plant who is in Congress to make other liberals and their plans look (relatively) more mainstream.

Evita was not Eva. Evita was the first wife. Eva the second.
Should you wish to cause great distress
In the tidiest officer’s mess
Just mention her name
[Army:]
That isn’t funny
Peron is a fool, breaking every taboo
Installing a girl in the army H.Q.
And she’s an actress, the last straw
Her only good parts are between her thighs
She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies
Or she could be his last whore..
wrong ... only one Eva, aka Evita ... his second wife
first was aurelia ... third was isabel
Critics: AOC is a smug, arrogant Commie.
Boston University Admin.: "Yeah, isn't she wonderful? We just love her."
