Freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) in an interview late Monday said she gives "zero" f---s about criticism she’s received from members of her own party.
“Now, congresswoman, for you and other freshmen members of Congress, you're getting a fair amount of pushback from even members of your own party saying ‘wait your turn, go slow, don't ask for so much so fast right now, you're new, wait your turn for everything and don't make waves,'" late-night host Stephen Colbert said to the rising progressive star on CBS's "The Late Show."
“I want to ask this question in a respectful manner, knowing also that you're from Queens, so you will understand this question,” he continued.
“And the BX,” Ocasio-Cortez, who is also from the Bronx, laughingly injected.
“On a scale from zero to some, how many f---s do you give?”
After taking a moment to deliberate, Ocasio-Cortez reached into her side and pulled out her hand to make a circle, saying: “I think it’s zero.”
“That’s my thought!” Colbert exclaimed.
When pressed further about her response to lawmakers who say her actions show a “divided front” for the Democratic Party, Ocasio-Cortez responded: “It’s how we choose to interpret items and how we choose to interpret events and things like activism and advocacy.”
“If you think activism is inherently divisive — I mean, today is Martin Luther King Day,” she continued. “People called Martin Luther King divisive in his time. We forget he was wildly unpopular when advocating for the Civil Rights Act. I think that what we really need to realize is that social movements are the moral compass and should be the moral compass for our politics.”

Every time this woman opens her mouth, I cringe. If I were a Democrat, I’d be ashamed to have registered for the same political party.
Just sayin'.

Someone needs her mouth washed out with soap. Filthy mouths are indicative of filthy, foolish minds.
I think she’s having a nervous breakdown
RE: I think she’s having a nervous breakdown
How do we tell the difference ?
She is, by her own statements, completely disinterested in what other people think, their input, their priorities, etc. Yet she want us to take her seriously. I guess only her opinion counts. Ah well, like all good leftists, she couldn't exist, couldn't prop up her belief system without rampant double-standards and hypocrisy.
RE: If I were a Democrat, I’d be ashamed to have registered for the same political party.
Obscenities in politics are now becoming the new normal, just like acceptance of other perversions.
I am constantly reminded why I don’t watch the Late Show with Stephan Dilbert.

Every time this woman opens her mouth, I celebrate..................…
Every time this woman opens her mouth, I see gnarly teeth and herpes del boca.
As long as the news networks, including Fox, give her coverage every day she will continue spouting her haterage for this Republic.
