Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot stand it.

She wants blacks back on that liberal plantation — now.

The Washington Times reported the story this way:

AOC rips Rush Limbaugh as ‘virulent racist’: ‘Truly nauseating’ he was awarded Medal of Freedom

The Times story said, in part, this:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, ripping the president for his “Oprah moment” of awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh, who she described as a “virulent racist.”

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez boycotted the president’s speech but responded to it in a 30-minute Instagram Live video, in which she claimed Mr. Limbaugh was beneath the award and questioned the authenticity of his reaction when he received the award in the middle of the address.

“Him pretending to be surprised was such a joke that this has been news all day,” the New York Democrat said, according to a clip highlighted by The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra. “There have been multiple reports from multiple news outlets saying that Rush Limbaugh was going to receive the Medal of Freedom, and then Trump announced it and he had to like pretend that this was some kind of Oprah moment — was so disingenuous.”

Newsflash for AOC: Yes, Rush had known for weeks that he was going to receive the award. What was last-minute was the invite to the State of the Union — a surprise — and what he did not know was that the First Lady was going to give the medal to him that night — right there in the gallery. So Rush’s surprise was indeed genuine.

It’s sad that ANY Americans voted for this anti-American POS. Lots of factors involved.

AOC truly is a dumb kid. Her 15 minutes may be 15 months but she’s going nowhere with her lack of IQ.

She took advantage of a complacent incumbent who didn’t bother to campaign, an apathetic electorate and a changed demographic in the district..........

I cannot remember another freshman congress person becoming as important and famous as AOC did right out the gate. How did this happen?

These socialists always have their bony fingers pointed at others, calling them racist, but never explain what it is they said or did that is racist. Details are a compulsive liar’s worst enemy, which is why they avoid them like they would angry tarantulas.

‘Truly nauseating’ ‘virulent racist’

Those are terms that describe her. Doesn't matter that she has a red-haired boyfriend (who obviously buys into her ridiculous world view). She is absolutely a 'non-woke whites are bad', 'the US has screwed Puerto Rico', 'rich people suck (but Prada and Armani are good), everyone should be equal (but I am special), racist.

She said she was joking about “lifting one by the bootstraps”
So, wanted to make sure whenever she says something wacko
(almost everything she says) whether she is serious or “just joking”
