Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an anti-Semitic progressive Democrat racist, Soros mercenary and outspoken proponent of a democidal ideology.

Ocasio-Cortez is considered by mainstream media as the embodiment of a rising generation of Millennials to occupy the liberal movement.[1][2] Her rise to power illustrated the increasing economic illiteracy of the Left.[3]

Tom Perez, who rigged the Superdelegate nomination of Hillary Clinton and his own election as DNC chair to slap down the uppity African American frontrunner Keith Ellison,[4] has anointed Ocasio-Cortez as "the future of the Democratic Party." Critics describe her commitment to Democratic Socialism as a the views of a simpleton and naive.

Background

Although Ocasio-Cortez pretends to speak for and come from poverty, she grew up in the white privileged suburb of Westchester County with a median household income of $83,000 – one of the highest in the country. Westchester County is the home of the Clinton and Rockefeller estates.[5]

Ocasio-Cortez is the quintessential wide-eyed liberal.[6] Early on, her website was a redirect page for the group Brand New Congress, archives in the Wayback Machine show.[7] Ocasio-Cortez is largely viewed as a Bernie Sanders retread. She has appeared on a podcast with another far left activist who stated that Jews "should get the f*** out of Palestine."[8] In November 2018, she tried and failed to name the three branches of government.[9]

Ocasio-Cortez defeated incumbent Democrat representative Joe Crowley in the 2018 nominating primary for New York's 14th congressional district. Crowley had been the leading contender to succeed Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic Party leader.[10] Elected to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez immediately began wasting taxpayer money.[11]

Democratic socialism

Ocasio-Cortez' advocacy of Medicare for All, free college tuition and housing would cost $42 Trillion, two-and-one-half times the nation's total economic output or GDP, experts say.[12] The United States has the world's largest economy, with 6% of the planet's population producing 25% of the planet's wealth. In an interview with Chris Cuomo of CNN, Ocasio-Cortez gave no solid proposals how to increase total U.S. GDP by 250%, and consumption of the world's resources, to meet her expectations. Although Ocasio-Cortez did question the baseline costs of U.S. healthcare, alleging the figures do not include the funeral costs of the uninsured.[13]

116th Congress

Upon election Ocasio-Cortez immediately began panhandling for cash to meet her personal expenses. On financial disclosure forms Ocasio-Cortez reported she had between $15,000-$50,000 in cash in personal savings.[14] What promises were made in exchange for personal cash contributions were never reported.

Ocasio-Cortez raised $1.8 million in a district where she recieved 78% of the vote, meaning she has plenty of cash to dole out to other Democrat House members to buy thier support, loyalty, and favors.[15] Her Republican opponent spent $1935 on the election.

Fundraising

Ocasio-Cortez is a case study in what is wrong with campaign finance laws. Cortez sits in a safe district, meaning she was virtually elected in the primary. The liberal media turned her into a fundraising magnet - for money she didn't need in a district she ran in virtually unopposed.

Campaign "war chests," as they are called, are not to be used for the candidate's personal enrichment. Some candidates raise more money than they need, others have difficulty attracting donations even in their own districts, let alone from outside lobbyists in Washington. Under existing regulations, candidates and members are free to donate to each other. Congresspeople become laundry machines for disguised donors. Instead of a member taking bribes from outside interests, they are "owned" by a fellow member, where any pretense of equality between the people's elected representatives is a charade. At 29 years old, Ocasio-Cortez was already barnstorming across the country raising money and helping other Democrats get elected,[16] for which they are indebted to her, before she was even elected.

Controversies

Former President Obama endorsed Ocasio-Cortez while former Democratic party Vice Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman said if Ocasio-Cortez and Democratic socialism is the future of the Democratic party, the party doesn't have much of a future.[17]

Ocasio-Cortez has made numerous blatantly false statements,[18] so extreme that even The Washington Post pointed them out.[19][20][21]

Ocasio-Cortez believes debating issues of public policy is sexist.[22] Ocasio-Cortez has banned the press from attending public speaking events.[23][24]

Her campaign spent nearly $4,000 on Uber after she blamed the company for taxi driver suicides.[25] She has engaged in other examples of liberal hypocrisy.[26]

Ocasio-Cortez could not restrain her racist attitudes toward white males in critizing the NeverPelosi movement.[27][28]
