Ocasio-Cortez mocks GOP for 'corny' attacks on Beto O'Rourke
The Hill ^ | 8/30/18 | Morgan Gstalter

Posted on 09/02/2018 5:14:36 AM PDT by Libloather

New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked the GOP on Thursday for “corny” attacks against Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) that invoked his former band.

The Texas Republican Party took a shot at O’Rourke’s 1990s punk band called Foss on Twitter this week after he refused to debate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), whose seat O'Rourke is running for, by tweeting, "Maybe Beto can’t debate Ted Cruz because he already had plans."

“Why is the GOP so corny?” Ocasio-Cortez asked on Thursday.

I did not like what Sen Cruz did at the Republican Convention at all.
However, he supports the fight against Illegal invasion and supports Building the Wall. That is good enough for me. The fact is, he is behind the President’s agenda which is our salvation as a Nation.
The Hell with all Libs, and Beto and his ilk.

It’s testimony to the egregious breach of faith by Ted Cruz that Beto is within spittin’ distance.

In the history of the party there has not been a more unlikable man in office.

Vote Cruz to keep the commie out, then find another way to get rid of him.

Anybody who will support gun-grabber/open borders Beto over Cruz does not belong at FR.

You are certifiable if you actually think voting for a hard left liberal is better than voting for a GOPe.

Robert Francis O’Rourke is a gun grabber. That would be all I would need to know to pull the lever for Cruz.

Yes, I wish voters would spend a little more time to follow the party platforms and grade the candidates according to their values.

Conservative Texans will find nothing in the Democratic platform to agree with so why vote for Beto when Cruz is the better choice. They may not like Cruz for whatever reason but Beto definitely will not represent their best interests.

Wendy Williams was trying to thread the needle when she ran for office of governor. Thank god, Texans sized her up and found her “pink shoes” weren’t enough reason to elect her.
The Democratic Party lost a ton of money betting on that nag.

Now along comes Beto, the Irish fellow with a Mexican Latino nickname, who is going to challenge Cruz, a Cuban Latino born in Canada nicknamed Ted. This has got the Howdy Doody crowd and the dumbf*cks really confused. This race is going to be interesting because the fake news media has people focused on the names, not the issues. As soon as Texans start focusing on the issues, I predict another Wendy Williams outcome.

Lyndon Johnson is spinning in his grave watching the Democratic Party going down for the last time.

California is trying to buy a third senator.

They told us Wendy Davis polled well too.

Did you get polled?

Did you cheerily say ‘Vote for Beta’?

Yes, Cruz is controversial, but he is not stupid. He has been sucking up all the money he can get to win this race.

Beto OTOH is. He and Custer at the Little Bighorn have a lot in common. Neither know anything about Texas politics or have the deep pockets to survive if the race becomes hot and nasty.

Hide and watch, Cruz will beat him like a red-headed step child at the polls. He may even have some money left over.

Of course, unlike the fake media, I can be wrong. In that case never mind.

And furthermore, dipsh*t, how exactly is Cruz "punished" by losing to Beto? Do you think he's going find himself begging for spare change? Maybe swinging one of those "Labor Day Blowout Sale!" signs on the street corner by the strip mall?

You really are a f***ing idiot.

I hate it when a a FRiend in a garbage pail state tells a Texan how to vote.

Just as I tell the Muslims, clean up your own back yard then get back to me.

If Cruz beats him by more than 4 points I will be surprised.

There’s more than one Texan that still carries great animus for him, as my cousin outside Ft Worth tells me.

They resent his original failure to disclose he was a Canadian, and they resent his traitorous performance at the convention.

Even though they accept all the BS of the primaries, it’s the convention that really gets to them. Well, him and those he presumes to speak for.

There will be some otherwise reliable Republicans that may not vote in this race.
