Woke 29-year-old Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after White House Chief of Staff John Kelly yesterday. Why? She wants him to apologize to Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson for supposedly "lying" about her to reporters.
John Kelly was straight up exposed for lying about @RepWilson in comments aimed at discrediting her.
He absolutely owes her an apology, and his refusal to do so isn’t a sign of strength - it’s cowardice. https://t.co/BA40Hgofvk— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 10, 2018
"Cowardice." Quite a big word to use against a four-star Marine Corps general whose son was killed in Afghanistan.
Wilson's spat with Kelly came last year when she alleged President Trump disrespected a military family during a phone call. Kelly disputed her characterization and gave a briefing to the White House press corps on how the military handles casualties.
"Most Americans don’t know what happens when we lose one of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, our Coast Guardsmen in combat. So let me tell you what happens," Kelly said. "Their buddies wrap them up in whatever passes as a shroud, puts them on a helicopter as a routine, and sends them home. Their first stop along the way is when they’re packed in ice, typically at the airhead. And then they’re flown to, usually, Europe where they’re then packed in ice again and flown to Dover Air Force Base, where Dover takes care of the remains, embalms them, meticulously dresses them in their uniform with the medals that they’ve earned, the emblems of their service, and then puts them on another airplane linked up with a casualty officer escort that takes them home."
"While that’s happening, a casualty officer typically goes to the home very early in the morning and waits for the first lights to come on. And then he knocks on the door; typically a mom and dad will answer, a wife. And if there is a wife, this is happening in two different places; if the parents are divorced, three different places," he continued. "And the casualty officer proceeds to break the heart of a family member and stays with that family until — well, for a long, long time, even after the internment."

No shame these people. It is what it is. We need more Kellyann’s.
Occasional Cortex is going to come to a bad end.
What do you expect to come out of the mouth of a commie MORON who only got elected because she is an absolute IDIOT..yes a dangerous idiot, but still an idiot
There are no words for me to use to fully express my disgust for this waste of skin.
This gal is on her way to wearing her welcome out even with her own party. Watch and see, within the next year and a half, some will be speaking to her behind the scenes saying that she’s pushing too many Dems off message. They have to spend too much time trying to explain Alex to the voters.
Republicans should reduce any direct interaction with her.
That only increases her Face Time on the air.
This little jerk knows nothing. The IQ of a three hole brick. We have many families going into the Christmas Holiday season with a member missing. Idiot doesn’t encompass her mental abilities, says a lot about the people who voted for her.
We really need to promote her to run for president in 2020, think of it as “Operation No Neo-Cortex”
Oh, I think there are words, they are just not printable. 😁
Being stupid is one thing, but disrespect for a man that has more honor in the dirt under a fingernail than she will ever have is despicable.
True. Point taken. But it infuriates me. A neighbor family is going into another Christmas short a son. He is gone and she’s running her mouth. Tough to take.
Looks like Combhead opened her mouth and let her stupidity run out again.
If you drug Combhead face down across your lawn, you could pull up a lot of thatch.
I don’t generally poke fun at exteriors of people but she is one ugly human being both inside and out.
Bring back dueling
Yup. Young enough to be a thorn in someone’s side for 40 or 50 years. What an awesome country huh?
“Beauty is skin deep. Stupid goes clear to the bone”. Don’t know who made that up, but my sister loves the quote. She might be using it for me when I ain’t around.
