AOC: I'd be teaching high school if Trump wasn't elected

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday she would most likely be teaching high school right now if Trump hadn't won his presidential race in 2016.
“But times of great challenge can also bring out the best in people too. So I think that’s what we’re really seeing right now,†Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a Showtime interview.
The freshman lawmaker said she doesn't regret getting into politics even though it can lead to unwanted attention and criticism on social media.
“No,†Ocasio-Cortez said. “In a weird way, that stuff is validation that you’re doing something real.â€
“If you’re just flying under the radar and just trying to get your check, not rock the boat, then what’s the point of being in politics? What is the point of doing things if you’re just trying to maintain the status quo? That doesn’t help people," she said.

More like a school lunch lady.....

I suppose there are schools who hire really stupid, mouthy people........

Has bartending lost its allure for her? :pondering:

New York State's public school system, controlled by the teachers' unions, pays some of the best salaries in the nation while granting those same unions unchallenged access to indoctrinate our children. She'd fit right in there.
I'd rather have her in Congress, thanks.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become politicians.

Don't forget the MSM.

Teaching? I figured it would more involve street corners and currency exchange.

Well she'd need a mustache for that.

I doubt it. She probably couldn't pass the background check.

Well, the status quo would have brought 25,000 jobs to her district and provided millions in tax revenues to the State and City of New York. Thanks for your "help", AOC!
