'GrinchCon'? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Suggests Hilarious Sober Alternative to SantaCon
People ^ | 12/08/18 | DAVE QUINN

For those looking to an alternative to SantaCon, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a perfect idea.

The U.S. Representative-elect for New York’s 14th congressional district — who at 29 is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress — tweeted a new option to anyone uninterested in participating in the annual holiday pub crawl featuring attendees dressed in Christmas costumes.

Asked by New York Times reporter Liam Stack if she could “pass a law stopping santacon,” Ocasio-Cortez joked, “I’m not sure, but maybe we can look into establishing GrinchCon — a tea + coffee crawl where people can spread peace and quiet everywhere they go.”

People thinks that's hilarious?

This endless fawning over AOC has gotten out of hand.

Careful, Ms. Occasional-Kotex. Sober people don’t tip as much. You as a bartender should know that.

She’s just so fascinating that they ask her questions about anything. I guess she thinks she is so fascinating too, because she keeps answering them.

Without santacon there would not be enough money to STEAL from the tip jar. She can now steal like they all do from the American tax payer at a larger sum

I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say there’s probably at least one alcoholic in her family.

a generation ago the media was shaming congressmen by calling them Grinch. Now we have one to applies the title to herself and the media applauds such hate and meanness

Imagine the communist hive-mind teaching a parrot to speak. That's sort of what's going on here.

She's just like every teenager I know. They have an answer for everything even though they have no idea what the hell they are talking about.
