Tucker Carlson slams ‘dumb and totally ignorant’ Ocasio-Cortez
https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/12/tucker-ocasio-cortez-dumb-green-new-deal/ Tucker Carlson is done listening to the left’s favorite Democratic-socialist, 29-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). On his show Tuesday night, Carlson blasted the freshman Congresswoman for being “dumb and totally ignorant” and yet, somehow, extremely confident at the same time.
In a short segment, the Fox host played a montage of some of AOC’s most hare-brained statements since she entered the political spotlight in June.
Tucker blasts “dumb, ignorant” AOC
Loved by the media and mocked by conservatives, Ocasio-Cortez has won plenty of fans with her upbeat personality and youthful image, but she has become a figure of fun to the right for her extreme and thinly detailed ideas to fix society’s woes, often couched in garbled rhetoric.
“In her brief time in the political limelight on what, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said a lot of interesting stuff, here’s one thing she said,” Carlson started off.
Carlson played some of AOC’s greatest hits, including the time she said that being “morally right” is more important than being factually correct and the time she compared climate change to World War II.
“An agency like ICE, which repeatedly and systematically violates human rights does not deserve a dime,” she said. “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change. This is our World War II,” she said in another short clip. “I think there are a lot of people more concerned about being precisely factually, and semantically correct, then about being morally right.”
Carlson wondered aloud how someone so “dumb” could be so confident and suggested that the education system might be to blame. “So not only dumb and totally ignorant of everything, but utterly self-assured. If there were a clinical exam for self-esteem, she would be in the 100th percentile,” Carlson added. “How do people get like that? Is it our education system? Is it high school? Is it colleges?”
