AOC rakes in $1.42M in third quarter, topping both Pelosi and Schiff: Report
By Sam Dorman | Fox News
 

Progressive 'squad' member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fires back at critics of her far-left agenda; reaction from New York Post columnist Miranda Devine.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., pulled in what is being described as an unprecedented fundraising haul in the third quarter of this year, outraising top Democrats in the House of Representatives as party leaders move forward with a controversial impeachment inquiry.

With $1.42 million in the bank, the progressive star raised more for her re-election campaign than any other House Democrat, with the vast majority ($1.1 million) of individual donations totaling less than $200.

The next democrat speaker of the house needs to raise lots of money so extreme leftists can take total control of the party. :whistle:

If people like her enough to donate any money...it is problematic. If people believe her tripe....

Exactly.  If she's raising that kind of money ... she'll run for president for sure in 2024.  If I'm figuring correctly, she'll turn 35 in October 2024...so I think she'll be eligible.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Aw, c'mon. People who don't have the IQ of the average oyster have a right to be represented, too.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Actually, I try to not underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

It's part of the reason I avoid large crowds. (They're everywhere!)

We have a representative form of government, so it simply stands to reason that Stupidity will always settle on its own form of political representation.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Let's review how she got elected.  The man who was the representative many years without opposition on the ballot, was used to doing nothing to be reelected, as he always won.  He did nothing in the election with AOC against him, while she walked the district with others helping her, and she won.  Evidently, the people who elected her are giving her money, plus I believe others across the nation are giving her money, one reason being her looks.

She has a striking appearance which looks great in film and pictures.  Yes, she is a kook, but people don't bother to find that out.

@Smokin Joe

You can tell that truth is evident just by looking at who sits in Congress.

We should insist a law be passed that all candidates for public office be required to have a higher IQ number than the number of fingers and toes,or teeth that they have,and that they have never been caught barking at the moon. Is that too much to ask for?
