If this woman is elected to the House, she will be in real competition for the dumbest person in the House, right down there along with Waters, Johnson, Lee and a few others.

I guess she realized how stupid she reveals herself to be every time she is interviewed or appears in the media.

He would have a good chance if he campaigned but he’s not doing so.

“”Corona on Sunday””

Guess we’re supposed to guess where Corona is?

California? If so, she’ll be a big hit with illegals there but sadly they won’t be able to vote for her. Darn!

I’ve never understood why these people(such as Ocasio-Cortez) are called “progressives”. If anything they are REgressive & should be referred to that way.

Thanks detective. The DNC doesn't want her as their new face, and their PMS have been critiquing her blatant stupidity.
