Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during a podcast Thursday that she’s concerned about elites and cultural figures openly associating with President Donald Trump.
Numerous celebrities, including musicians and comedians, appeared at Trump’s inauguration on Monday. Ocasio-Cortez, on “The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart” said Trump being “much more normalized” in his second term makes him “so much more dangerous” than he was in his first term.
“What makes this go-around with Trump so much more dangerous than the first time around is … he is much more normalized this time around than he was the first time,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “The first time, people were really on edge. They were on guard. They were very vigilant about any break that he would have with these norms. This time, the norms are becoming him, like the norms are embracing him.”
“Even these little things that … everyday working people may not care about, but they are strong cultural signals — Oscar de la Renta like dressing all of the women [for Trump’s inauguration] — like there’s all these cultural symbols … All of these people that were scared before about being associated with him, from the most common basic level to the most elite level, they’re all-in now because this is now a billionaire feeding frenzy,” she said. “It is a kiss-ass race. It is, ‘How can I show how much fealty I have to Donald Trump in order to get my digs?'”
Trump’s inauguration also saw financial backing from Big Tech companies, some of which had previously banned him from their platforms.
Moreover, left-wing groups protesting Trump’s second presidency on Monday had plans to “fight back” with thousands of participants, but that’s not what occurred. Rather than the expected 10,000 protesters, the Daily Caller News Foundation observed a crowd of dozens standing in the snow and complaining about the icy weather against a backdrop of unused megaphones.
Trump committed to reversing Democratic Party policies. He criticized Democrats during his inaugural address and said “America’s decline is over,” according to a transcript of his remarks.
Would that be the same AOC who’s going to be a defendant in the forthcoming defamation action brought by Trump after she called him a rapist?
Has Trump sued her for calling him a rapist yet?
Squaw speak with fork-ed tongue. Most cultural icons don’t want to be seen around her.
PR Princess want “cultural figures” to be scared to be seen with President Trump or one of his MAGAs. Sounds like a death threat to me.
Dumb ass AOC doesn’t understand nothing succeeds like success.
AOC has a nice rack. She look much better if she stopped talking.
She’s worried that her favorite woke celeb pals will start sucking up like the tech moguls have. That won’t be good for the tip jar.
If you like bulging eyed horses she’s attractive. Perennial winner of the eat an apple through a picket fence contest. I find every aspect of her repulsive.
PRETTY SURE
Well the only thing far worse is to be associated with morons like you AOC.

so how is the disturbed being disturbed a bad thing?
Hey, beotch, over 50% of the population voted for him and against an air-headed Leftist much like you. THAT is the definition of “normalized,” when you win an election, when the populace approves of your policies and you implementing them.
Contrary to widespread belief, not all celebrities are drooling morons like you.
Yeah, you can thank The Big Guy for that and you too and all your other nutty Liberal Law Maker friends.
