“I’ve gotta run!” Ocasio-Cortez told The Post when asked the question Thursday on Capitol Hill.

She then scampered down a crowded hallway to get in line for her mock swearing-in with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Maybe the reporter didn't hear her right, and she said "I've got the runs!" and the line she got in was to the ladies room.

LOL!

I’ve never seen a public person so greatly ‘in over her head’.

(She’s going to give ol’ Hank Johnson some competition...)

Poor kid probably thinks she’s doing well, too. She almost has my sympathy... but I wanted her to win to help show how pathetic the Socialist movement is.

Libs never give up their money. They expect you to give up YOUR money.

Is there any other elected official in DC other than President Trump who is giving up their salary during the shutdown?

Trump always had a plan for what to do if the Dems took the House

Putting them on the spot like this is going to throw them
Off their game

He is merciless when it comes to confrontation regarding doing the right thing for the country.

This is hilarious watching this economics major going up against business mogul Wharton finance educated Trump who has the support he does. She runs away

They’re off on the wrong foot like an awnry horse in a muddy corral
Perfect.

LOL! It’s the sugar alcohol.

I’ve had bad experiences with just chewing gum containing sorbitol.
