Ocasio-Cortez: Republican Party Is ‘Scared’ of Us ‘Because They Know How Powerful’ We Are

Hannah Bleau 11 Sep 2019

The far-left members of the “Squad” – Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) – participated in an NAACP forum Wednesday evening and declared that members of the Republican Party are “scared” of them “because they know how powerful” they are.

Ocasio-Cortez talked about her background as a waitress and told the moderator, Angela Rye, that she does not “shy away” from her background of working in restaurants because it prepared her for her current job as a congresswoman.

“Nothing will give you the ferocity of advocacy like having that kind of experience,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“No one can tell me about things like sexual harassment. No one can tell me things like working for tips on a wage that is less than the minimum wage. No one can tell me about taking the subway at 3 o’clock in the morning home from a night shift,” she said, claiming that “no one else has those experiences on the other side of the aisle.”

“Very few people have those experiences, and by the way, when they do, like John Boehner, they’re lauded for it. They’re like, ‘That’s a guy I could have a beer with,’ but with me, it’s like, so–” she continued with a gesture.

She's right in a way - the level of cock-sure stupidity these people exhibit is scary. The same people in positions of authority is petrifying.

Republicans are scared of Squeaky Spice because they're deathly afraid her kind of stupid will rub off on them.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Yes Bartending can be a difficult job, but so is being a Coal miner, Farmer, Millwright, First responder, etc....
We all make our choices. No one forced her into anything she did, but when she starts putting down the american way of life, she can D@MN well expect push back from those of us that have had to work just as hard or even harder to keep that way of life.
If she truly is so enamored of the Socialist way of life, please move to Venezuela for a year or two, the dame goes for the rest of the PI$$@NTS the Dimmies are running. If you still love it szty there, if not come back up here and straighten out the res of the yahoos in your party.   
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken him completely by surprise.

The headline made me chuckle a little. This little girl will be lucky to get her old waitress job back when she gets fired next election.

She has betrayed her mandate. She is more worried about illegals and Islam than she is her own constituents. And they know this full well.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

We don't fear you, Occasional Cortex, we fear there is a body of voters who would actually elect you to public Office.  That's scary.

She sounds like a lot of the young people I know. We are smart and you know nothing! We are stronger than you! You are afraid!

I will chuckle to myself when they get how life really is.

If the bartender stays in Congress, she'll never learn how life really is.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

...

Her former employer went out of business, courtesy of the government-set minimum wage.
