Following NBCs hostile coverage of President Trumps State of the Union address and fawning over a strong Democratic response from Stacey Abrams Tuesday night, the network decided to get reaction from the far left as it invited on socialist New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for a softball chat about her radical views.
The leftist lawmaker was treated to a gushing introduction from NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt: Alexandria Oasio-Cortez was elected to the House from New York last November, just weeks after her 29th birthday. Shes a progressive Democrat, a favorite target of conservatives, and already so well known she can go by just her initials, AOC.
Moments later, Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie noted how the President called out socialism during the speech:
...there was a moment, a couple moments in the speech, actually, where the President talked about socialism. He started talking about whats happening, of course, in Venezuela, but then he said, Here in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. You, of course, have identified yourself as a Democratic socialist. Do you think he was talking to you?
Guthrie followed up by talking campaign strategy with the Congresswoman: Do you think socialism would be a winning message or a winning position in 2020 for Democrats?
Ocasio-Cortez seized the chance to double down on her extreme views, demanding Medicare-for-all and a 70% marginal tax rate. Rather than jump in to challenge any of the radical ideas, Guthrie simply wrapped up the exchange by thanking the New York representative for her time.
In addition to the official Democratic response from Abrams to Trumps speech, NBC provided viewers with the socialist response as well. The segment might as well have been a speech given the softball,...

I want someone to ask these Democratic Socialist
how they plan to force the producers to continue working more for less?
How will they stop Capital Flight?
“...already so well known she can go by just her initials, AOC.”
I have a hard time remembering her real name because I call her “Occasional-Cortex” so much.
LOL! Me too. So, sometimes I just use “sandy casio”.
PLEASE!!! TRY!!! GO FOR SOCIALIST UTOPIA!!!
It would justify a Final Solution for the Democrat/Socialist Problem. We wouldn't be burdened with accusations of racial hygiene. All REAL Americans could join in...
No one can remember her name.
Hmmmm. AOC=All Out Crap. But yes dems and mx guthrie, calling for conversion to a socialist form of govt for the U.S. would be a winning theme for them. So, yes, by all means make that the message.
><
I agree, let them make that the message.
Our side needs to come back forcefully with the message that Socialism and those who advocate it are, among other things, a threat to our Security, Safety, Well Being, Prosperity and Freedom.
This president is so awesome! Now hell have the entire MSM asking the Dems if they support socialism! The one line the president said about this country never becoming socialist was a nicely set trap for the Democrats to fall into and they already have. Well get to hear all the RATs denying their policies are socialist now!
Yes, keep putting her on TV.
Venezuela provides a great visual example of why President Trump is right and she is wrong.
I usually call her “Occasional Kotex”...
Because she has such vast and superior knowledge, experience and insight.
And be sure to feature this genius, who had a grand total of 16,000 votes in her NY district, in GOP election ads telling her media fans she wants to eliminate all fossil fuels in 12 years. Say goodbye to cars, trucks that bring your food and other necessities, and planes because they will no longer have fuel. This university-educated ignoramus is the Femocrats rising star!!!
When The Prez said this, they cut to Bernie. He went all red and grimaced, like he'd just been butt raped...
Or maybe people use the initials because there's literally 11 syllables in her annoying hyphenated name.
I bet he usually smiles when that happens.
You see semi after semi, thousands, the actual method that feeds villages, small towns, large towns and cities. It's easy to see all the Socialist burgs, the ones that install traffic circles, the ones Semis can't clear without riding over the curbs.
How cumzit? Has she NEVER been west of the Hudson?
I believe socialism will be the battle cry of the left in 2020, and Trump should constantly hammer socialism’s criteria to the people;
“Socialism requires atheism in order to function, especially the elimination of Judaism and Christianity, I can’t include Islam for the terrorist threat.”
“A monopoly on power, thus disarming of the public, is required to enforce socialism.”
“The ‘re-assignment’ of the term “human”, i.e. undesirable fetus, non functioning aged, non viably disabled, etc. is needed for socialism to thrive with its scarce resources.”
I call that sugar coating. Reality . . . she is a Rat Commie who wants to take your money and your freedom away.
So, that’s what 78% of the 17% of the voters turns out to be? Perhaps the other 83% will turn out to vote next time. If they’re aware it’s happening that is.
