(VIDEO AT SOURCE) Saturday at the South by Southwest Conference & Festivals in Austin, TX, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said former President Ronald Reagan used “racist,” caricatures to pit “white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans.” Ocasio-Cortez said, “One perfect example, I think a perfect example of how special interests and the powerful have pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans in order to just screw over all working-class Americans, is Reaganism in the ’80s when he started talking about welfare queens.” She added, “So you think about this image; welfare queens and what he...

(FULL TITLE: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses her SXSW talk to label FDR's New Deal 'racist' compared to her 'Green New Deal' and protests minorities being treated like 'garbage' - as she draws a bigger audience than any Democrat 2020 hopeful) She came. She saw. She conquered. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dominated the South by Southwest conference with her mere presence, bringing in a larger crowd than any of the 2020 presidential contenders, all of whom were asked about her or her Green New Deal in their own sessions at the popular event. The 2,000 plus ballroom - one of the biggest in...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to pass sweeping tax hikes on the wealthy, but the freshman lawmaker might want to take care of her own unpaid tax bill first. Brook Avenue Press, a company she founded in 2012 to publish children’s books in The Bronx, owes the state $1,870.36 in corporate taxes, public records show. The state slapped the company with a warrant on July 6, 2017, two months after Ocasio-Cortez announced her candidacy to run against Democratic incumbent Joe Crowley for the district that encompasses parts of Queens and The Bronx. The state requires businesses to pay a corporation tax...

An investigation is needed to determine if socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the media magnet on the far-left fringe of the Democratic Party, has broken federal campaign finance laws. If convicted of criminal conduct, she could get up to five years in prison for each violation. We don’t know at this point if the New York congresswoman has engaged in improper conduct. But she and her chief of staff and former campaign manager Saikat Chakrabarti are accused of serious charges in a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by the National Legal and Policy Center. The accusations against Ocasio-Cortez...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she doesn’t recycle her plastic bags because her city’s recycling program is too “tough” for her to understand On February 24, 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a live video on her Instagram account where she was talking about different political issues while peeling and cutting sweet potatoes.A guy named Gob Abierto posted several different excerpts from that video in a string of tweets at this link, which has since been deleted. I watched a bunch of those excerpts before the tweet string was deleted. The internet archive has a copy of the same tweet string at this link, but...

As the Democrats Go Socialist, They Go Anti-Semitic Jew-hate and socialism have always gone hand in hand. March 8, 2019 Daniel Greenfield 103 comments at FrontPage Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. "Every government having regard to good morals ought to repress the Jews," opined Pierre Leroux, the leftist credited with coining the term 'Socialism'. "When we speak of Jews, we mean the Jewish spirit, the spirit of profit, of lucre, of gain, the spirit of commerce." "What is the worldly religion...

AOC is, for all intents and purposes, a hired actress hired by a group called by the Justice Democrats. An Indian guy from Texas, Saikat Chakrabarti, Zack Exley, plus Cenk Uygur of Young Turks fame have all been involved in getting her elected and giving her the script that she's been reciting. People behind the Bernie Sanders campaign also worked to get her elected. The video is 23.04 minutes long, but it's worth it.

You already know AOC is just a puppet. This video is a nice breakdown of the people controlling the strings. Well worth watching , IMO The guy who does these videos is a good script writer, so his videos are generally quite watchable

Thursday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Mark Levin hammered Democrats in the House of Representatives after the body passed a resolution condemning antisemitism. However, Levin criticized the resolution for not including condemnations of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the resolution. “This resolution cobbled together by the Democrat Party leadership — which includes Jewish Americans — did not condemn Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez,” he said. “It did not condemn antisemitism qua antisemitism. You know what it condemned? The American people. It condemned the American people as an antisemitic people, which we are...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez cost 25,000 Amazon jobs that New Yorkers could ill afford to lose. The year that Cortez won her election, New York suffered the worst population decline of any other state. Why are they leaving? Some, like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s mother, are leaving because of high taxes. “I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I’m paying $600 a year in Florida," Blanca Ocasio-Cortez explained. Some claim that nobody leaves New York because of the taxes. Cortez’s mother proves them wrong. But millennials are leaving in record numbers because there are no jobs....

Do you ever wonder why people run for office? I mean, unless you're a total cynic, you must assume that at least part of the motivation is wanting to do good. Sure, those who run for office want fame and prestige, but they also have strongly held views and want to affect public policy, right? So why in the world would they engage in sabotage of the ideas they hope to advance? That's undeniably what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey have done with their juvenile Green New Deal. Consider: The caricature of environmentalists is that they are just...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) hasn't been in office very long and we've all seen right through her. We know she's a hypocrite. She likes to tout her Socialist ideas that "benefit everyone" and the "community as a whole" but really, she's talking out of both sides of her mouth. She wants everyone to share their hard earned money but she doesn't want to share hers. She wants "dark money" out of politics, but only if that money is someone other than hers.After all, just a few days ago a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint was filed against Ocasio-Cortez, saying her chief...

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sent out an email on Thursday seeking to raise money off the anti-Semitism scandal that has engulfed the Democratic Party, claiming that a pro-Israel group was "coming after" her, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). "It's official -- AIPAC is coming after Alexandria, Ilhan, and Rashida," the email said. "Rashida, Ilhan, and Alexandria have at times dared to question our foreign policy, and the influence of money in our political system. And now, lobbying groups across the board are working to punish them for it." Ocasio-Cortez then compared the bipartisan consensus on...

Michael Bloomberg will not run for president. That was the main outtake from the businessman and philanthropist’s op-ed for Bloomberg the other day. But the more important outtake was his announcement of a new climate change initiative: Beyond Carbon. “I will launch a new, even more ambitious phase of the campaign — Beyond Carbon: a grassroots effort to begin moving America as quickly as possible away from oil and gas and toward a 100 percent clean energy economy,” Bloomberg said.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was hit Thursday with an ethics complaint for listing her live-in boyfriend as a staff member and getting him an official House email address. The liberal superstar violated at least two provisions of the House Code of Official Conduct and possibly U.S. criminal law by making false statements about boyfriend Riley Roberts being a staff member, according to the complaint by the conservative Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “AOC has gotten away with utter hypocrisy for far too long. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation will do whatever it takes to expose AOC’s transgressions and hold her accountable,” said Shaun McCutcheon,...

It’s bad enough that the Democrats are trying to bamboozle their own base with the so-called Green New Deal. As I discuss in a previous column, this project is simply a get-out-the-vote effort using extreme language to manipulate their own base in a cynical campaign effort for 2020. Now, almost every day, the hypocrisy of the left’s new arrogant heroes is on display in some of the most remarkable ways. We know Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York claims the world is going to end in 12 short years if we don’t dramatically change the way we live.

This is the last post I’m going to do on AOC, at least for this week…or until she does something else completely idiotic: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'I Am As Powerful As A Man' And It Drives Critics 'Crazy.Um, no, that’s not it. It’s the sort of man that you are “as powerful as” – the equally crazy, misguided and venal ones: Bernie, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Barack Hussein Obama – that drives us crazy. “The idea that a woman can be as powerful as a man is something that our society can’t deal with,“ the freshman Democrat from New York told...

“Get ready for her,” one panelist warns about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “ she’s the candidate of the future.” Alisyn Camerota released more of her focus-group questioning of former Hillary Clinton voters to get a sense of where the Democratic Party may be heading. In this clip, the panel has respect for Nancy Pelosi as a party leader, but their enthusiasm for the frosh House member from Brooklyn bubbles over.WARNING: The word “badass” makes a dully predictable appearance. Alisyn Camerota asked a panel of 2016 Hillary Clinton supporters their thoughts on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.The panel praised her."Wow.""I love her.""What a woman.""I...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) received unanimous applause on Wednesday when she became the leading topic among CNN’s panel of Democratic voters. As Alisyn Camerota asked her panel for their thoughts about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the conversation evolved into how the Democrats are debating how much they ought to stick with the experienced political establishment. When Camerota asked them for their thoughts on Ocasio-Cortez, the panel lit up as they called her “badass” “amazing” and a litany of other positive reactions. Panelist Mary Reaman commended Ocasio-Cortez or the questions she asked in the Michael Cohen hearing. “I don’t feel like...
