Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams House GOP On Border Wall Spending
Newsweak ^ | 12/20/18 | SCOTT MCDONALD

Posted on 12/21/2018 3:21:03 AM PST by Libloather

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t waste any time Thursday slamming her soon-to-be GOP counterparts in the House of Representatives for their passing a short-term spending bill that includes $5.7 billion that will fund President Donald Trump’s border wall.

Ocasio-Cortez, the outspoken New Yorker who will be sworn-in to office next month, said border wall money could better be used for teacher pay, infrastructure and left-leaning distribution ideas like tuition, green jobs and prescription refills.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

@Ocasio2018
And just like that, GOP discovers $5.7 billion for a wall.

Be careful there, Alexandria. Once you get a top job, you'll need that wall - to keep the people in.

I won’t say anything bad about her until, you know, like, when she gets inaugurated and stuff.

We just gave Mexico and other schlitzhole countries down there 10 billion for no apparent reason. I wonder how we were able to find that money?

Typical opinionated brat of her generation. Raised to believe she's special. That her very existence is pure magic and entitled to say and do anything she pleases. The generation of big mouthed brats who've never been taught impulse control , patience or manners and who have never been told no and have never been told to shut up once and awhile.

Here we have an example of government education. Young, bred on stupidity and taught to be arrogant. The younger generation today coming into government positions are far more dangerous than yesterday. trained robotic closed minded arrogant radicals with one thing in mind, hate America, change America

Not in the next 20 years. She will still be in the House long after I am dead. She is learning the ropes very rapidly - clearly being coached by a top shelf Dem staffer.

She learned the fine points of socialist redistributionism when she stole tips from the waitress in the bar where she worked.

They never do get assimilated, do they?

She got perks and privileges on account of her latino-ness.....all kinds of freebie, health care, an education, $2000 outfits, a Congressional seat.

But she still can’t rise above her Third World mentality......it’s always “us against them.”

Yup. And everyone a big mouth, over entitled brat like this bitch. Raised to believe they're special and no one can ever tell them no. I hope she keeps talking. At some point San Fran Nan and Chuckie “The Rat’’ Schumer are going to tell her to shut up and bury her in some obscure committee. Those two weasels know they've put their time in and I doubt they're going to want put up with this pushy brat.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on this one random Congresswoman-elect’s opinion. There are about a hundred more whose opinions I’d like to see sometime too.

I am guessing that the demacrat party decided they needed someone else on the intellectual level of Maxin Waters

Yeah, teacher pay and green jobs better than concertina wire and troops keeping killers, rapists and gang banging dope fiends out. I've heard dumb as a rock, but I think that broad may be the dumbest rock on the planet. If that's possible.
