Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday said women who have accused former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden of alleged inappropriate contact ''need to be heard.''

It must be nice, having national newsrooms to run full-time damage control pro bono. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said a stupid thing recently during a one-on-one interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. That she said something ignorant is not news at all. What is newsworthy is that Newsweek felt the need to protect her where she is clearly in the wrong. The congresswoman was asked last Friday what lessons she learned from studying former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, for which her preposterous "Green New Deal" is named.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., gave a vigorous defense of her signature Green New Deal initiative on Friday, rejecting Republican criticism that it's socialist. The freshman Democrat said she expected the pushback from the GOP to her plan, which calls for a complete transition to renewable energy by 2030. "But I didn't expect them to make total fools of themselves," she told MSNBC's Chris Hayes during an "All In" town hall at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in the Bronx. "I expected a little more nuance, and I expected a little more 'concern trolling,'" meaning disingenuously expressing concern.

Shortened title. Full title: WATCH: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Falsely Claims Republicans Changed Constitution to Remove FDR From Office..” Just when you thought Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t be any dumber…she goes and does something like this. This time, the Democratic Socialist Congresswoman from New York accused Republicans of changing the Constitution in order to remove President Franklin Delano Roosevelt from office. This, of course, makes literally zero sense because FDR died while he was still in office… The 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution, which set a two-term limit for all U.S. Presidents, was first drafted in 1947, two years after FDR...

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, we gotta get rid of the light-hearted stuff, and some may say that it’s all lighthearted, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She just continues to literally embarrass herself. But I don’t know if it’s impossible for her to be embarrassed by herself. So she may not know that she is embarrassing herself. Listen to this quote. She was doubling down on the fact that earth is imperiled because of the cow, well, farts. Expelation of gas, methane. She’s really trying to get people to understand the severity and seriousness of this problem, and she said. Dadelut dadelut dadelut...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned an overpriced croissant into a lesson on the minimum wage. “Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE,” the New York Democrat tweeted Monday morning. “Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??” She said her point wasn’t that the croissant cost too much. “GOP taking every tweet so earnestly, making my point for me. It’s not an argument against the price of the croissant – it’s about the value of human worth,” she continued. “But I guess the idea is foreign to them since their...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-N.Y., might want to brush up on some history after asserting, incorrectly, that Republicans in Congress amended the Constitution to kick President Franklin Delano Roosevelt out of office. "They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt did not get reelected," Ocasio-Cortez said Friday during a night hall event with MSNBC with Chris Hayes. According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected: "They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected." (Reminder, FDR died in office in 1945;...

Amid her zeal to save the world with the Green New Deal, Rep. ­Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ­ignored residents in her own Bronx back yard. “I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,” complained Roxanne Delgado, a local activist who said she has tried for months to get in touch with the congresswoman for help saving an animal shelter and to clean up parks in the district. Delgado, 40, says she has made numerous calls to Ocasio-Cortez’s offices in Washington and Queens and sent a barrage of tweets after the freshman lawmaker encouraged residents during a recent...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wallows in ignorance the depth of which is hard to fathom. The fact that this woman graduated from high school and college is an ongoing rebuke to our educational system. Her most recent howler related to the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms in office. AOC helpfully explained that it was passed in order to prevent the re-election of Franklin Roosevelt According to AOC, Congress amended the Constitution to prevent FDR from being re-elected: "They had to amend the Constitution of the United States to make sure Roosevelt dd not get reelected."

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blasted critics of her signature policy proposal, the Green New Deal, saying they sounded "like Dr. Evil," referring to the character from the "Austin Powers" movies. The freshman congresswoman pitched the policy plan to the country Friday in an hourlong town hall-style special on MSNBC. Ocasio-Cortez refuted GOP lawmakers and conservative pundits who claimed that the Green New Deal is a “socialist” fantasy that would take away “cows” and “hamburgers.” She told MSNBC host Chris Hayes that she “100 percent” expected such a response but didn’t predict that they would take it to an “eleven.”

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said a chant from President Donald Trump's supporters mocking her was emblematic of Trump finding a female politician to attack. "You know this is part of a pattern that the right and the far-right and, frankly, the President is consistent with," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN in New York. "He doesn't have another woman, Hillary Clinton or whoever else, to vilify anymore so they need to find another woman to kind of prop up and become a lightning rod." At a rally in Michigan on Thursday, members of the crowd could be heard chanting "AOC sucks"...

How can I miss you when you won’t go away?Keep telling you day after dayBut you won’t listen, you always stay and stayHow can I miss you when you won’t go away?- Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks Ms. Ocasio-Cortez appeared with Chris Hayes on a MSNBC  “New Green Deal” special held ironically in the auditorium at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Watch, if you wish, the Bronx Bomber hold forth on her inconsiderable knowledge of the world in general and her lack of expertise in economics and science in particular.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has entered week two of her crybaby meltdown over disastrous poll numbers and now she’s blaming Fox News and Breitbart News for her unpopularity. Quinnipiac is one of the most unreliable left-wing pollsters out there (not named Marist or CNN), so when the Q-poll has bad news for America’s Socialist “It Girl,” it is worth taking notice. Quinnipiac found Ocasio-Crazy’s national favorability rating sits at a pathetic 23 percent; her unfavorable is 36 percent, which means she is upside down by double digits — 13 whole points. But here is sweetest part of the song …...

Attendees of President Donald Trump’s rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Thursday evening broke out into an “AOC Sucks!” chant after Donald Trump’s Jr. ripped into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) progressive policy positions. “Think about the fact that every mainstream, leading Democratic contender is taking the advice of a freshman congresswoman who three weeks ago didn’t know the three branches of government,” Trump Jr. told a fired up crowd before his father’s highly anticipated speech. “I don’t know about you guys, but that’s pretty scary.” The remarks critical of the freshman congresswoman prompted the crowd to chant “AOC sucks.” “You...

Hey, remember when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that fighting global warming was our generation’s World War II? It was an idiotic remark, but then she pushed policy to back up her words. Alas, the Green New Deal was born.  An economic disaster, which seeks to transition the nation off of fossil fuels in a decade, kill farting cows, upgrade all buildings to energy efficient standards, whatever those may be, and eliminate the combustible engine. It’s the epitome of intrusive government and it comes with a $90 trillion price tag. This is on top of the far left’s jobs guarantee,...

There will be many polls in the months and years to come showing that AOC is an unpopular figure.Let this serve as formal notice that I’ll be blogging all of them.In fairness, this poll isn’t as bad for her as the recent one from Siena of her, gulp, home state.Democrats like her a bunch, although many still haven’t heard of her. Republicans detest her. Independents are negative on balance although that may only be because right-leaning indies are seeing more negative coverage of her in righty media than left-leaning indies are seeing positive coverage of her in lefty media....
