Where in the world did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez get the idea that three people (as opposed to one) were killed at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia?

This is a link to a tweet by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

And this is a link to an archive of the tweet.

Here’s a screen capture of the tweet:



The tweet states (the bolding is mine):

You were forced out of the Trump Admin for saying white supremacists were “not the problem” days before Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville killed 3 people.

Pretty sure we’re on the right side of history if you’re my opposition.

This is not about atrocity. It’s about how we get there.

Three people?

Where did Ocasio-Cortez get the idea that three people were killed at that event?

The Washington Post, the New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, NPR, PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN all reported that the death toll was one, and that the name of that person is Heather Heyer.

Where exactly does Ocasio-Cortez get her news from?

Of course, this is not nearly first time that I have reported on Ocasio-Cortez being ignorant of commonly known, basic facts that have been widely reported in the news.

She doesn’t know that the judiciary is one of the three branches of the federal government.

She thinks the U.S. has 500 million people.

She thinks there is no upper-middle class in America.

She thinks you’ll never need a funeral if we adopt single payer health care.

She doesn’t know the difference between the defense budget and a one year increase in the defense budget.

She thinks the unemployment rate distinguishes between people who have one job and people who have two jobs.

She thinks the Constitutional requirement for the President to be at least 35 years old only applies to men.

Anyone who regularly reads mainstream news sources would know the true facts about all of those things.

So I really do wonder where it is that Ocasio-Cortez gets her news from.

I’m pretty sure she’s actually a bunch of squirrels in a trench coat, pretending to be a human.

Simnplereally.
Ocassional Kotex is an Alinskyite, who follows the Alinsky Book “ Rules for Radials.”

The facts do not matter.

Alinsyites speak to EFFECT the people to get them politically enraged, say whatever they can. It enrages people and demoralizes their enemies.

Occasional-Kotex is a radical, and she is also too stupid to be around very long. Her learning curve is flat, and she is just another loud mouth.

Imagine Occasional-Kotex trying to work effectively in a Congressional Committee Meeting being run according to Roberts Rules of Order?

See what I mean?

Occasional-Kotex is a just a dumb bag of stinking leftist outraged ichor.

Bonus points for working “ichor” into a reply.

All the education in the world couldn’t make an engineer out of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because her mind and way of thinking are not geared for “actual” critical and analytical thinking. In fact, she’s not geared at all. Whoa, but look at those teeth of hers!...Showing that perhaps she’s more of a motormouth than anything else.

AOC and Maxine Waters MUST be made the faces of the Democrat Party.

If Trump meets with the "leadership" of the Democrats in Congress, these two must be included.

Don’t know...but she may be primed to be the second member of the “Will it tip the island” caucus in the House.

Squirrels are intelligent, loyal, and have an admirable work ethic (during the Summer) and savings ethic (for the winter). I think you owe the squirrels of the world an apology.

Maybe it’s just me...but I think since her teens that she’s been a daily joint-smoker (maybe even two joints a day). Depending on when you interview her, you get O-C straight or O-C doped-up. I can remember being around people in the late-70s who were doing three or four smokes a day, and they’d say all kinds of dopey things, or do things at work which would fail, and get themselves into serious trouble. She reminds me of those characters.

She is counting the two Virginia State Police officers who were killed in a helicopter crash.

Maybe she counted the 2 Virginia State Troopers who died in the chopper crash. The press certainly added them, and his royal hindness Governor McAlliff added them into his tally as well, when publicly addressing the protest.

Seriously? Maybe you need to smoke a joint or two. Are you forgetting that there were two state troopers killed in a helicopter crash that weekend? The Governor of Virginia and the press were quick to attribute those two deaths to the protests as well, bringing the total to three.

Cortez may very well smoke marijuana, but that is not what made her stupid. She may have never smoked a joint in her life but that doesn't mean she'd be any less stupid.
