Ocasio-Cortez castigates ‘drooling’ Republicans who ‘chop up’ her ‘word slips’

Ignorance and arrogance are a bad combination, even for a Democrat. Not even yet sworn-into office (“inaugurated,” as she inappropriately put it) as a member of Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is upset that she gets criticized over her mangling of the proper terminology for discussing the federal government. Over the weekend, she spoke of the “three chambers of Congress” – and quickly (and inaccurately) corrected herself to say “three chambers of government,” not understanding that the executive and judiciary are not “chambers” but branches.

Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — Uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House."

As she tweeted (and subsequently corrected a typo – note: I am in no position to criticize others’ typos):

Maybe instead of Republicans drooling over every minute of footage of me in slow-mo, waiting to chop up word slips that I correct in real-tomd, they actually step up enough to make the argument they want to make:

that they don’t believe people deserve a right to healthcare. https://t.co/fMOijEa7tF

It looks to me like she ran for Congress never expecting to win, and has never really prepared herself for office by studying the sort of civic lessons they taught in the ninth grade more than half a century ago when I was a junior high school student.

She also does not seem to grasp the difference between grabbing a bullhorn and sitting in at the House Minority Leader’s office and issuing a political demand on that leader without demonstrators and bullhorns. What is “respectful” about blocking access to a workplace and shouting through a bullhorn? That no injuries resulted?

The young congresswoman-to-be from Queens has no idea of the depth of her ignorance. And no apparent desire to learn.

The Democrats’’ nightmare continues.

With a questionable degree in economics and a working class resume' of Barrister at a trendy coffee shop, perhaps the young lady should stop telling our government how it should be and reflect the views of her constituency to the Congress.

She has no currency of effort and success (other than her oratory) to spend and on which to capitalize fundamental changes to our government system. At least Obama was a community organizer.


"Just pay for it" begs the question of "HOW?" and has no foundation upon which to stand. So far, nothing she has proposed has the slightest structure of fundamental function to the goal she intends. That she is surprised and annoyed that people see this and comment is actually no surprise.

She seems to be dedicated to making Mad Maxine appear eloquent by comparison. Until now I didn't believe that was possible but this young female has raw talent that has yet to be fathomed. When it's time for her to go to Washington I won't be surprised if she buys a ticket to Seattle! :laugh3: :bolt:

All the Republicans should vote for this Occasional-Cortex for Speaker. Now that would be funny. :yum:

Why not? She has been hailed as the "Future of the Democratic Party". That statement in itself is hilarious.

What bothers me is, if you think that she is ignorant, what are you going to call the people who voted for her? "Stupid" doesn't seem quite strong enough.

People looking for free shit. That is what they are. They don't work, they contribute very little or nothing at all to society in general. In most cases they are actually a net negative. They suck money from those that do work and pay taxes and have zero drive in life to improve their quality of life. They are truly the dregs of society.

That is what I call them. Someone tell me I'm wrong?
