AOC: ‘We’re All Sitting Here, the Democratic Caucus, 60% Queer, Women, People of Color, Immigrant’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Monday night ridiculed Republicans for arguing that the Equality Act would hurt women, contrasting the House GOP – with 13 female members – to the Democratic caucus, which she described as “60 percent queer, women, people of color, immigrant.”

“Like, how are you going to tell us what’s good for us?” she asked.

Speaking during a Ramadan end-of-fast iftar on Capitol Hill, Ocasio-Cortez accused Republicans of trying to foil progressive advances by “pitting communities against each other that have never – and have no business being pitted against one another.”...

........Among many criticisms, opponents have warned that the measure would set back women’s rights, citing concerns such as an unfair disadvantage for women athletes competing against biological men who identify as females, or shelters for battered women being forced to accommodate biological men who identify as females......

She really needs her own network TV show, so that the greatest number of people possible are exposed to her distinctive brand of New York leftist lunacy.

The GOP hit the mother load when AOC stumbled into that congressional seat. Of course, the joke will be on us, when her political career skyrockets because half the country thinks emotionally and she’s got that certain dominatrix thing going on.

I wonder what the Islamic Mecca Worshippers think of all the homosexuals AOC is lauding?
Since homosexuals are arrested tortured and executed in Islamic countries.

Our Islamo congresscritterettes - Oman and Tlaib - also claim to be pro-gay. Really?  :shrug:

In her awkward, clumsy manner, I believe that she was trying to say that 60% the Democrat caucus is composed of bleep, women, people of (some) color, and immigrants...

   The icing on the cake (for me anyway) is that she IS Trump's US House Representative since the Trump Tower, Manhattan is his official residence (NY 14) when he's not in the White House or Golfing somewhere. 
   Hey, I get stuck with Lloyd Dogget so I guess it all comes out in the wash.

I think that they embrace it now, it is apparently the "Q" in LGBTQ...

Queer is like the n-word: only certain people are permitted to use it.

This is the direction the Democratic Party is heading. They are becoming more and more the party of identity politics. Although that tactic may win some elections in the short term, governing a Balkanized nation will be much more difficult
