AOC tries to scold Charles Payne for asking about black staff, runs into raging buzzsaws
BizPacReview ^ | 03 Mar 2019 | Tom Tillison

Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., found herself mired in another controversy last week when she came to the defense of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.,...Tlaib called Patton “a prop,” which prompted Ocasio-Cortez to tweet: “Total bravery from @RashidaTlaib as she reminds the nation that tokenism *is* racism.”

The democratic socialist came under fire for the racial charged comment, with Fox News’ Charles Payne asking Ocasio-Cortez how many black staff members she has. “We have Black staff,” she replied. “We don’t parade them around to show the world how diverse our team is, and use that as some kind of evidence of the absence of racism. That’s what tokenism is.” (snip)

But Turning Point USA’s Candace Owens responded to shred Ocasio-Cortez, calling the newly elected Democrat “radically stupid” for insulting an educated black man by accusing him of tokenism. “The audacity of you to accuse a black man of tokenism. Have you lost your mind? You are a puppet for the party of the KKK, slavery, and Jim Crowe,” Owens tweeted. “Don’t you dare try to step to an educated black man and insult him for not being as radically stupid as you.” She also ripped Ocasio-Cortez for what she called a racial slur. “I’m not even done. A democratic congresswoman using a RACIAL SLUR to describe black conservatives is NOT OKAY. How dare you?!!!” she tweeted. “Referring to blacks as coons, tokens, or house negroes is a RACIAL SLUR. You are absolute filth for this @AOC.”

He’s now on at 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Bad move by Fox Business. Charles Payne was the lead in to Lou Dobbs. The two of them crushed it in the ratings. A real dynamic duo. They couldn’t have Charles digging into Brett Baer’s ratings over on FNC also on at 6:00 pm so they moved him. Baer is unwatchable. I’m still trying to fill the 6:00 void after Charles left so I pretty much switched over to Little House on the Prairie. LOL.

Candace Owens should be Mike Pence’s VP choice. By then she will be 35 years old.

She is the darling of the most radical wing of the radical Democrat Party. As such she can’t be questioned or rubuked by their presidential candidates. Looks like a fun primary season as these losers line up to kiss her ring.

OC is a worthless, ignorant anti-Free-America wretch. There is no redemption for her. It is a waste of time to attempt to engage her in logical “discussion”. She is worthy of 24/7 ridicule and shunning. She is a malignancy on civil society.

Enough of these twitter wars!! If AOC really wants to be a leader of her movement, she needs to get off the fawning media and step up and debate leaders on the right such as Charles Payne or Candace Owens. I believe Ben Stein has already put out that challenge and she has turned it down. Put these people on the spot, all of the conservative commentators or Congressmen/women should challenge her. I would love to see her debate Ted Cruz.

She won’t do any of this of course because I believe she knows that she is ignorant and does not want to look more foolish than she already looks.

It’s nice to be old enough to remember the swats in grade school. It was supposed to be cool to be in competition for the most swats. I thought that for a while until my teacher used a thin board with holes drilled into it on me. I suddenly became a straight A student.

Brett is UNWATCHABLE. There is almost NO difference in the stories, and how they are covered, by Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC. NO DIFFERENCE.

I WANT news from the CONSERVATIVE perspective. Fox, and the Liberal children of Rupert Murdoch are making Fox a boring “me too” newscast. SAD. No Thanks.

She’s never been in an actual debate. The dummy she ran against thought he was too important to debate, so she used that as a campaign talking point and got off the hook herself.

Her worse nightmare in the next election will be an opponent that insists on debates.

Occasional Cortex is even more stupid on social media than Fugly Chelsea Clinton, I didn’t think that was possible LMAO!!! OC thinks she can win in a social media skirmish, but she mostly gets her stupid @ss kicked by people MUCH smarter than she is.

Occasional Cortex’s false idiotic premise is that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the world in 12 years. Therefore anything she does or says makes her morally superior to us because she—snort—wants to save the planet, and we don’t. Therefore we’re supposed to shut up if we don’t go along with her ridiculous Green New Deal.

Her silliness, immaturity, hypocrisy and stupidity are just remarkable.

"Her worse nightmare in the next election will be an opponent that insists on debates."

If it's during the primaries, then she will have an opponent just like her and they will be debating about how much full on socialism/communism/marxism they can implement. If it's during the general, her election is assured and so she will ignore her pubbie opponent's demands for a debate and will breeze to a win anyways. She's in a super safe district from what I understand.

Please learn to use a search engine. I didn’t know Charles Payne and when I read your post, I ran a search on him and got tons of info. Try it, you’ll like it.

Woods shot back to the demented AOC: “.....you may have missed it, but the way it works in America is YOU work for US.
The last time somebody told Americans to sit down and shut up was 1776. If you ever learn to read, look it up.
You are not only a idiot, you’re an arrogant idiot, and there is nothing more dangerous.”

Nice work, Woods.......so glad you bought Apple at $6 a share.

Ahaha - then I would not have gotten expert freeper feedback; my choice to ask on FR instead of doing a generic search was deliberate as I was hoping for Freeper insights.

Of course I know how to use the search engines.

Example: Post #21 which (correctly) explains the nuances of Payne’s switch. Brett Baier is unwatchable at Fox news and that is most likely why Payne was moved because everyone (including myself) was watching Payne instead. Now we (my husband and I) watch Liz - she is good - however we wish Payne was still at 6:00.

I don’t listen to Cortez, but if she doesn’t sound like she tweets...it is possible that the tweets come more from her boyfriend.

Unless, as I said, she talks in two syllable words, which I doubt.
