Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams critics calling her agenda too radical
NY Post ^ | 1/06/19 | Mark Moore

Rookie Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot back at critics who say her progressive agenda is too radical and expensive, saying there’s nothing revolutionary about providing people with good jobs, healthcare and an education.

“When you can’t provide for your kids working a full-time job, working two full-time jobs. When you can’t have healthcare. That is not dignified,” Ocasio-Cortez told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday.

The 29-year-old newly minted House member is entering office with an ambitious agenda — including Medicare-for-all, tuition-free public college, and sweeping environmental protections.

“How are you going to pay for all that?” CBS’ Anderson Cooper asked her.

“No one asks how we’re going to pay for this Space Force. No one asked how we paid for a $2 trillion tax cut,” she said. “We only ask how we pay for it on issues of housing, healthcare and education. How do we pay for it? With the same exact mechanisms that we pay for military increases for this Space Force.”

I think you nailed it.

We are already seeing the rise of the Brown Shirts. (Mainly Anti-Fa but it’s now spreading into congress. Impeach the “M-F”er.)

Trump needs to attack our education system. Start with common core. (Pence let it happen in Indiana. P.O.ed a bunch of my friends.) It will be our downfall.

Khrushchev warned us.. We will get you from within.” He was right.

You might think I’m joking but that’s about all it takes to get votes from Democrats these days.

Yes, they really are that stupid. I can understand if few believe me. Drop by Yahoo and read the comments on any thread with this chick. The Democrats love her.

Is is any wonder they went for Obama? Of course not.

Just watched 60 Minute’s puff piece. Highly edited, and completely softball interview with no follow-up questions, just the oddly cute hispanic girl who found herself at the cusp of political power. They glossed over the part that she has the intellect of a not-so-bright toddler, and is just a socialist complainer/troublemaker. And she’s dangerous precisely because low educated morons, which we have many, eat that shit up. If Hugo Chavez was reincarnated into a stupid girl...

Real “hard-hitting” interview there with AOC by Anderson Cooper.

But, then again, he’s used to ass licking.

She should shut her big mouth and get schooled about the real world for a year or two. She knows nothing.

That’s an excellent analogy of AOC.

Obama “came from out of nowhere,” too. A well spoken radical marxist community organizer.

Wait till she decides to “organize.” Pantifa will be her praetorian guard.

One of the reasons that you can’t, nitwit, is the level of taxation these days. And you’ll have even more of that when your “free education” and “free healthcare” proposals come to pass, God forbid.

Everyone wants to be a Communist until they are under Communist control. Then it is too late.
