Progressive darling and Democratic Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York didn’t accurately name the three branches of government on Sunday despite her upcoming role as a congresswoman.
“If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress, uh, rather, all three chambers of government — the presidency, the Senate and the House — in 2020,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We can’t start working in 2020.”

The self-proclaimed Democratic socialist seemed to be confusing the two chambers of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the three branches of American government, the Executive, Legislative and Judicial.
Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University in 2011 with a bachelors degree in economics and international relations.
When confronted on Twitter with her lack of knowledge, Ocasio-Cortez responded by accusing Republicans of “drooling” over her.
“Maybe instead of Republicans drooling over every minute of footage of me in slow-mo, waiting to chop up word slips that I correct in [sic] real-tomd, they actually step up enough to make the argument they want to make,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “That they don’t believe people deserve a right to healthcare.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s degree must have come from Sears / Penny’s / a bus station gum
machine.
Her “colleagues” will convince her that the world is flat…and she’ll propose a bill
for all Americans to wear parachutes…so we don’t fall off…
Jesus, Joseph, and Mary…How stupid were her constituents ??
Never mind.
President Trump 2020 !!
This woman’s ignorance is simply a symptom of the disintegration of our colleges. The ignorance of anything of importance in our history is stunning but not unexpected. Since liberals have taken over our ” Schools Of Higher Learning” they have become cesspools of political correctness rather than knowledge. Pretty disgusting. And you too can learn to be this ignorant for a simple college fee of $40,000 per year.
My guess is she would flunk first grade math, and science as well! Not a well-educated person, in spite of a degree. Wonder who PAID for that degree….
Whoever paid for this morons degree should demand their money back….
This silly little girl that wants to play with the big boys and girls of Congress will never last. The biggies will eat her alive. If Pelosi doesn’t put her in a closet for an office it will surprise me! Nancy does not take lightly to someone dumber than she is!!
this girl reminds me of a deer caught in headlights! The wide-eyed expression may have worked for her as a bartender but not in Congress!!
The only thing dumber that her is…well…err….I give up.
If you state your intention to destroy something, surely you should at least know what you are destroying. ? If as Tom Perez predicts she and her ilk are the future of the Democratic Party, God help the Party and America whether they win or lose . POTUS Trump knows exactly how it feels, when the media and .his opponents fasten on every word he makes or omits, and twist them. Has she the depth of understanding to know how he feels ?
This is the result of affirmative action. Minorities are awarded degrees they haven’t earned in fields they are unqualified to perform.
Boy, is that pee-wee socialist a dummy or what?
As I watched the interviews and speeches of that little socialist twit, I held the hope that the voters wouldn’t be so ignorant as to actually vote for, what was as blatant a socialist message as has ever been put in front of Americans. We are witnessing the actual dismantling of our republic as it’s replaced it with a Marxist Utopia. She has no idea as to how our republic or any republic functions, as opposed to other forms of government, probably doesn’t even know what seat she occupies or the branch of government she is in, yet those voters gave her power over them. This is a testament as to how a people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge.
After we all understand that she is quite ill-informed about American civics, as well as being of “average” intelligence (Yeah, I know, but it’s a fact that half of all people are of “below-average” intelligence!), never mind that some people think that she is “pretty” (I’m guessing that that is in some sort of “blue-ringed octopus” sort of way.), and an anti-American communist, we can place her utterings and proclamations in the proper perspective.
Hey, is it possible they do have a Coffee committee? If so, she will fit right in on that.
Hey, mon, who you think we are, Zorro? My mind not ready to absorb all political stuff. We don have it in the gutters and allies of Brooklyn, NJ.
Whenever you come across Alexis Ocasio-Cortez, THE RISING STAR of the Evil Corrupt-Crooked Liberal Democrats, DO NOT FORGET THAT Ocasio-Cortes is the “Very Best Alternative” the Corrupt Liberal Democrats have to offer our Nation…. Unfortunately, Hilary and the DNC ran out of Unvetted Middle East refugees, the Central America Illegal Aliens Caravan, more demands for Voters’ ID, and no more looking into deceased data….
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND VOTE FOR PRES. TRUMP IN 2020 – OUR ONLY SALVATION!
Semper fi.
” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We can’t start working in 2020.” So why not hold off her pay and benefits until then?
And if they lose in 2020 will they not be able to start working until 2024? 2028? 2032?…….I think what she means is we can’t have it our way until 2020 – but then again it’s hard to imagine what makes her think.
Boston University probably doesn’t know the three branches of government either.
In order to take all three branches of Congress she needs a 2/3 vote from all 57 states.
Oc course we Republicans believe in health care. It is just who is going to PAY for the health care of individuals who do not take care of their bodies. Dems seem to be fond of “fair share”, but is it my “fair share” to have to pay for the health care of people who have diabetes because they don’t eat right, smoke so they get emphysema or other lung diseases, or don’t exercise and watch their diet so they get heart disease, or ddrink excessively so they get liver problems, and those are just some of the side-effects of unhealthy living? I can’t make those people stop abusing their bodies, so why should I have to pay for their bad habits?
Because, …. squirrel!
My brother in law is an insurance agent – also a left winger. He is always talking about our responsibility to provide health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions. I have asked him why? These people never wanted or were interested in buy insurance before they got sick. Will you sell me a car insurance policy after I have an accident? What’s the difference? You can’t buy homeowners or flood insurance right before the storm hits either. They keep whining poor people can’t afford health insurance – what the hell is Medicaid?
