Ocasio-Cortez: “I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.“

    Intelligent? The ability to read and parrot inane slogans can be learned by monkeys as well.

    Why would anyone quote - or read a quote - from a brain-damaged liberal? Their purpose is total destruction and their engine is Hate.

    Maybe she is taking her cues from 45. He certainly plays fast and loose with the truth every single time he opens his mouth.

    I agree there. Not sure what outside force attacked America with that candidate who became President, but I don’t think it was Manchuria.

    Cortez is the mouthpiece for people like Obama and Soros. Never mind fact, she purposely or stupidly ignores them. She is following Alinksy, although likely not because she studied him.She is an agitator, just like Obama. How can one be morally correct, if one has not considered the traits she so easily dismissed. She is saying she cares nothing for facts, ie: global warming is a hoax, and just wants to go along with the radicals in her party. Cortez is an entitled little girl, seeking the limelight, with little knowledge of what she says. That makes her maybe more dangerous, as people listened to an equally irresponsible Marx back in his days in England. He ignored his responsibilities to feed his children, and she has never had any responsibilities other than playing cute with bar patrons.

    I have a different view on this idiots future. My bet is she will go after the wrong democrat that really does have some juice and the democrats will turn on her with venom. She is too young and too cute to be taken seriously and certainly not smart enough to keep her ignorance under control. The more face time she gets the more she will screw up.

    She reminds me of the Democratic motto “Don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up”!

    The same could be said of Obammer, there are many who will finance an operative. They paid for and got a President before.

    yeah, but he is intelligent and obviously successful. Cortez is an idiot who just got elected in a wildly leftist district, and she has crazy ideas. The dems will push Beto O'Rourke in 2020. He is much more politically correct about the socialist ideas. Warren, Maxine Waters, and Cortez are just never going to make it past where they are- fortunately.

    We've known for quite some time that libs can't argue facts; they try and argue feelings and emotions. And I don't think I've ever heard a better paraphrase of "the ends justify the means" than this drivel from AOC.

    Obama was the trial balloon that demonstrated a completely unqualified, charismatic minority could actually get elected. He failed to accomplish the objective of a (more) socialist state, because once off script, he was shown to lack the understanding of how to sell socialism.

    AOC is an even longer stretch, but as a female Hispanic, the socialists figure she will eventually gain the skills that will catapult her into the presidency as the youngest ever, and first female. Scary, given her only world experience is as a bartender (and it shows). She's off to a shaky start, with too much exposure too early. However, the media will soon bury her stupidity and highlight her recitation of carefully scripted oratory. The question has to be if the socialists in the Democrat party will target a senatorial seat next for her, or tell her to stay put for a couple of reelections and then jump straight to the 2024 presidential contest.

    Yeah...I can't put my finger on it...But, I think she's some sort of operative. She couldn't be such a moron and get where she has gotten. It's like she's a living, 110 pound walking, breathing propaganda. I find her very interesting because of this. One of my coworkers made me a custom "Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for President" bumper sticker and I haven't laughed that hard in a while... I probably shouldn't laugh, come to think of it.

    Except when the facts being checked are the few that can be twisted to agree with her biased irrational views.
    She is an ignorant savage. Unfortunately she has a lot of brainwashed company in NY and other large cities.

    True. But it is interesting how even leftist media like CNN think that she is too high on her morally superior hobbyhorse.

    The woman is no joke.

    Conservatives ignore her at their own peril.

    She must be fought tooth and nail, otherwise her corrosive ideas will become real.

    Rhetoric 101:
    You have to excuse my mistakes as I am a beginner, but look at what Trump says!

    Translation: “I am morally superior! My feelings don’t care about facts.”
