These are what’s in store for America if she ever gets a “position” in the Demo party!
The 29-year-old self-described socialist, here’s a look back at some of the congresswoman-elect’s hot-button statements made in media appearances along the campaign trail.
1. Capitalism in the Crosshairs- “Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs, the days of capitalism are numbered: And so I do think that right now we have this no-holds-barred, Wild West hyper-capitalism. What that means is profit at any cost. Capitalism has not always existed in the world, and it will not always exist in the world. When this country started, we were not a capitalist [nation], we did not operate on a capitalist economy.
2. Backpedaling on Israel- situation in Palestine as an “occupation” by Israel. who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations from Boston University, struggled to explain her comment. “I am not the expert on geopolitics on this issue,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “You know, for me, I’m a firm believer in finding a two-state solution on this issue.”
3. Explaining the Extinction of the Middle Class -In another interview, speaking with former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett on the liberal podcast “Pod Save America,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed the “upper-middle class doesn’t exist anymore.” Ocasio-Cortez was discussing the political ideology of the country’s different socioeconomic classes when she made the claim: I think that politically, this upper-middle class is probably more moderate, but that upper-middle class doesn’t exist anymore in America, and thanks to the continued deregulation of Wall Street, thanks to the continued gutting of working- and middle-class people, we need stronger champions.
A Simple Payment Plan for Progressive Medicare -When asked in an interview with Jorge Ramos last week about how to pay for Sen. Bernie Sanders’, I-V.T., “Medicare for All” proposal, which Ocasio-Cortez has put at the center of her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez responded, “You just pay for it.” She continued: People often say, how are you gonna pay for it? And I find the question so puzzling because, how do you pay for something that’s more affordable? How do you pay for cheaper rent? How do you pay for—you just pay for it. Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who lost the Florida gubernatorial race, have claimed Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan would save the country $2 trillion if implemented, but the claim has been criticized by fact-checkers as inaccurate. In fact, a study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University shows the plan would cost more than $32.6 trillion over 10 years, requiring historic tax hikes.
5. Comparing C*****e C****e to World War II-, the last time we had a really major existential threat to this country was around World War II, and so we’ve been here before and we have a blueprint of doing this before, We had a direct existential threat with another nation, this time it was N**i Germany, and the Axis, who explicitly made the United States as an enemy, as an enemy. And what we did was that we chose to mobilize our entire economy and industrialized our entire economy and we put hundreds if not millions of people to work in defending our shores and defending this country. We have to do the same thing in order to get us to 100 percent renewable energy, and that’s just the t***h of it.
Shutting Down Debate on F****l F**ls -According to Fox News, Ocasio-Cortez declared at a campaign fundraiser there was “no debate” that f****l f**l production should be stopped. “There’s no debate as to whether we should continue producing f****l f**ls. There’s no debate,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
Carrying the ‘Organizer’ Torch to Washington- It’s a different kind of strategy. And what it is, is really about organizing and, and really thinking about that word: organizing. Segmenting people. Being strategic in their actions in really bringing together a cohesive strategy of putting pressure on the chamber instead of only focusing on the pressures inside the chamber.
Explaining Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 70 percent marginal tax rate idea-"70 percent of Americans believe in improved and expanded Medicare for All." FALSE-, "70 percent of Americans believe in improved and expanded Medicare for All." FALSE, In her defeat of Republican Rep. Karen Handel, Democratic challenger Lucy McBath "was outspent 5-1." -FALSE, "Just last year we gave the military a $700 billion budget increase, which they didn’t even ask for." -MOSTLY TRUE, Says U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said "owning guns IS NOT a right, if it were a right it would be in the Constitution." -PANTS ON FIRE, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has secured a seat on the House Financial Services Committee but her "credit score is 430 and has had two checking accounts closed, along with two sheriff's evictions." -PANTS ON FIRE, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has secured a seat on the House Financial Services Committee but her "credit score is 430 and has had two checking accounts closed, along with two sheriff's evictions."-PANTS ON FIRE, In New York City, "for every one person experiencing homelessness here, there are about three vacant apartments." -PANTS ON FIRE, "ICE is required to fill 34,000 beds with detainees every single night and that number has only been increasing since 2009." , Says U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said "owning guns IS NOT a right, if it were a right it would be in the Constitution." -PANTS ON FIRE, The GOP is:
- weak on fighting for working class Americans- weak on crime- weak on equal rights- weak on national security
- weak on rejecting r****m- weak on moral courage- weak on family values
was greeted with enthusiasm by the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party, who hailed her as a rising star and a champion for democratic socialism. ." She earned a "Pants on Fire" rating from Politifact- This was in a span of three days .
CUOMO: …If you win and you go to Congress, there will be a leader of your caucus, her name is Nancy Pelosi. Do you recognize her as the leader for the House Democrats? CORTEZ: She is, she is the leader of, of– no no, she, I mean, um, um, Speaker, or rather Leader Pelosi, hopefully, um, you know, we’ll see, she’s uh, she’s the current leader of the party and I think the party absolutely does have its leadership in the House, we our leadership in the Senate as well.
Cuomo turned to legit policy questions, asking how she planned to actually pay for her signature Medicare-for-all proposal. And boy did she do a terrible job:
The thing that we need to realize is people talk about the sticker shock of medicare for all. They do not talk about the sticker shock of the cost of our existing system. You know in a Koch Brothers-funded study–if any study’s going to try to be a little bit slanted, it would be one funded by the Koch brothers–it shows that Medicare for all is actually much more–is actually much cheaper than the current system that we pay right now.
The Washington Post Fact-Checker gave this claim Three Pinocchios recently. The Mercatus study only "found" that Medicare-for-All would be cheaper than the current system because the author Charles Blahous was exceedingly generous to claims from Bernie Sanders and others that it would lead to huge savings in administrative costs. The point of the study was to prove that even if those savings emerged, the pricetag for Medicare-for-all would be enormous and still require substantial tax increases. the author charitably took it for granted that it would. "It is likely that the actual cost of [Medicare-for-all] would be substantially greater than these estimates,
And let’s not forget that the reason that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act is because they ruled that each of these monthly payments that everyday Americans make is a tax. And so while it may not seem like we pay that tax on April 15th, we pay it every single month, or we do pay it tax season if we don't buy, you know, these plans off of the exchange.
This is just wrong. The Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act was constitutional because the penalty for those who didn't get healthcare was effectively a tax. Whether normal monthly premiums were a "tax" in a philosophical sense did not factor into their analysis in the slightest.
Americans have the sticker shock of healthcare as it is, and what we’re also not talking about is why aren’t we incorporating the cost of all the funeral expenses of those who died because they can’t afford access to healthcare? That is part of the cost of our system.
Cortez's proposal and the GOP tax bill and military spending. The higher estimates find GOP tax bill is expected to cost $2.3 trillion over ten years. Ocasio's plan is estimated to cost more than that annually, or $32.6 trillion over the same timespan. Likewise, the Congressional Research Service.
After another factually-challenged interview with the sympathetic Pod Save America podcast (in which she also failed to answer how she would pay for Medicare-for-all) and after most of her endorsed candidates lost their primary races, Ocasio-Cortez accused conservatives of trying to distract from the recent indictment of Republican Congressman Chris Collins.
The interview, the e******ns, and the resultant criticism were on Monday and Tuesday. Collins was indicted on Wednesday. Yes friends, even the flow of time manages to escape Ocasio-Cortez
