What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

I would guess that Trump thinks a Senator AOC (D - NY) would make a fabulous fundraising tool for focusing right wing fear and loathing. He badly misses Hillary "Lock Her Up" Clinton, because Pelosi just doesn't generate the same passionate hatred that he can use to juice up his base. He understands his base very well, but he underestimates AOC.

yeah the tweet was what I was sharing, not the underlying article. i didn't think that was all that complicated.

I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday.

Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door.

But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽‍♀️ https://t.co/WlG3xccwR7

Yoho’s derogatory comments, overheard by a reporter for The Hill, followed an altercation on the Capitol steps Monday in which the GOP congressman reportedly said that Ocasio-Cortez was “disgusting” for her stance on issues of crime and policing.

“You are out of your freaking mind,” Yoho told the Democratic lawmaker for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ocasio-Cortez responded by saying that Yoho was being “rude.”

After parting ways, Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), descended toward the House office buildings.

A few steps down, Yoho was heard by the reporter uttering the words, “Fucking bitch.”

love to hear that our elected officials are acting like high school sophomores

i admire her ability to turn around and just call it "rude", in the moment. i could never be a politician because if someone called me a fucking bitch i'd be tempted to call them a two-timin yoho who is about to fall down a set of stairs

On February 26, 2020, Ted Yoho voted against making lynching a federal hate crime. He stated that he believed it was an “overreach of the federal government and tramples on states' rights to make their own legislation on the subject.”

disgusting

grace under pressure is an asset when you have scum for colleagues

You should try it on here sometime.

That makes us the scum, though ("though").

what?

just imagining the uproar if the roles reversed and AOC had used similar language toward Yoho. there would be immediate demands for her to publicly apologize and then they'd talk about it for the next month, with trump calling her filthy mouth "AOC" or whatever

anyway, it's really cool that she can keep calm in that kind of situation. guess she recognizes a self-own when she sees one

If there’s one thing you learn from being extremely online it’s how to give other people enough rope

i think she's actually superhuman tho

i didnt realize we got paid to be on here, pplains

pish, I've been waiting for 8 months of back-payments due to the corruption of our treasurer *glares at poster who is the treasurer*

the uproar if the roles reversed and AOC had used similar language toward Yoho.

You are forgetting that AOC is a woman of color and Yoho is a white man, so both of them were just playing by the long-established rules.

I'll talk to Soros about that, sorry Morbz.

Must add Ted Yoho to the "Pynchon names in Politics" list.

is "fucking bitch" going to be the new "nevertheless she persisted"? like, inscribed on t-shirts and stuff?

anyway, this just makes yoho look bad. but what do you expect from republicans.

halitosis and hate

she's tended bar; however unexpected, she can handle a yoho

Yoho probably already sending out fundraising emails off this

i think most bartenders are superhuman too

She's scarily good at this and the haters are all dinosaurs and fossils.

God I love @AOC so much. She’s my age and she’s already such an inspiration! We can learn much from her ❤️ #Bossbitch pic.twitter.com/JL66iAM3R1

Yoho (ARRRR-FL)

would obviously have to be representing dania, fl

You Only Hrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh Once

was gonna go for You Only Hate Once, but I think Pres Keyes covered all bases already.

Same here, but then I remembered, oh yeah, these people always hate more than once.

incredible

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter." https://t.co/U2UIEaCljG pic.twitter.com/kk701q80zW

FUCK YEAH

was yoho in the room?

AOC: "I am here because I have to show my parents that I am their daughter, and that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men.. What Mr Yoho did was give permission to other men, to do that, to his daughters."

I can't imagine him being there

doubt it. most congressional sessions take place in empty rooms

Fitting for a bunch of empty suits.

flawless

One of AOC's flaws is that she flat-out vaporizes fools when she should slit their throats and leave their gagging bodies behind as a warning to others who might be feeling themselves

They have been pretty empty for a while, but extra empty nowadays because of COVID stuff.

Video/audio is pumped into congressmembers' offices and they each have a light in their office that alerts them when they need to get to the chamber for something.

Bravo, AOC.

the bravery and poise in that speech is truly breathtaking. I don’t understand how she even does that. I cried about 5 times watching that

It was pretty incredible. Did I detect her voice quivering a little?

saw more of the speech tonight, parts that I didn't see this afternoon, the whole thing was amazing

maybe being too obvi here since this thread title comes from the obama thread of the same structure, but her command of The Stage is p obamaish only she's, you know, better

The whole thing is worth the watch

probably just as well i'm not in politics
