Ocasio-Cortez Says College Admissions Scam "Isn't That Different" From US Election Process

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likened the Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin college admissions scam to the US election process on Tuesday night — saying it “isn’t that different.”

The freshman congresswoman was responding to a tweet from Bitch Media co-founder Andi Zeisler when she drew the comparison.

“Perhaps this is a good time to talk about all the perfectly legal ways the wealthy are both allowed and expected to manipulate college-admissions systems while teaching their children to disparage ‘affirmative action,'” Zeisler tweeted.

“I guess college admissions isn’t that different from elections, where lots of money can buy your spot too,” replied Ocasio-Cortez. “Also an enviro where those who make it despite the odds are suspected to not have ‘earned’ it, not truly belong, or assumed to not be able to perform at the same level.”

Sorry ... I must correct the last item from that post:

I wouldn't pay a bribe of two cents to get into a school at that cost.

I would be interested in the grounds on which they are allowed to expel - even though fraudulent admission should naturally be one of them.

Trump probably would have hired her as a bar girl at one of his casinos...?

teaching their children to disparage ‘affirmative action,'

BS. The people who run these scams are actually the biggest proponents of "affirmative action" because (a) it won't affect their kids' admission prospects and (b) it will result in a student body in which their kids won't seem so unqualified. Oh, and it will signal their VIRTUE to all their fans!
