This claim:
“Under the burdens of capitalism . . . we’re not having kids.”
— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Tuesday
We say: Socialist AOC thinks capitalism creates “burdens” that depress birth rates, but free markets are the best way to pull a nation out of poverty — and it’s the better-off who have fewer kids. Then again, even the poor in America are far wealthier than most of mankind throughout history. Oh, and by the way: More-socialist Europe’s birth rates are lower than those in the US.
This barb:
“What is (Nikki Haley’s) real name again?”
— Sunny Hostin, Tuesday
We say: The View’s Sunny (Asunción) Hostin stepped in it again, this time suggesting Republican Nikki Haley goes by “Nikki” instead of her “real name” to hide her Indian heritage. Except “Nikki” actually appears on Haley’s birth certificate, while “Sunny” is nowhere to be found on Hostin’s. Why does Hostin use “Sunny”? “Americans can’t pronounce ‘Asunción’ because of the under-education in our country,” she claimed. Desperate times call for lame excuses, we guess.
