New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrated President Trump’s vow to ensure America never falls into the clutches of socialism, saying “he’s scared.”
As are the vast majority of sane Americans.
“Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country,” Trump said to applause from many Republicans in the chamber.
“America was founded on liberty and independence – not government coercion, domination, and control,” the President continued. “We are born free, and we will stay free.”
“Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”
The Socialist Responds
Ocasio-Cortez viewed the attack, most pointedly aimed at her and another devout socialist in Bernie Sanders, as a badge of honor.
“I think he’s scared,” she told MSNBC. “I thought it was fabulous, it shows that we got under his skin.”
The darling of the far-left resistance party then claimed President Trump was actually concerned about the popularity of her policies.
“I think that he needs to do it because he feels himself losing on the issues,” she claimed. “Every single policy proposal that we have adopted and presented to the American public has been overwhelmingly popular, even some with a majority of Republican voters supporting what we’re talking about.”
Ocasio-Cortez on Trump slamming socialism: I think that he needs to do it because he feels like — he feels himself losing on the issues… I think he sees himself losing on the issues”

While some polls susggest there is support for her platform of taxing the rich at exorbitant rates, the reality becomes a little more clear when voters find out details of the plan – and they don’t approve.
And while it might be gaining popularity in her own radical party, socialism is still nowhere near the approval rate of capitalism.
A Gallup poll in 2018 shows 56 percent of Americans view capitalism positively while just 37 percent feel the same about socialism. These numbers have varied very little over the past decade.
If Trump Is Scared, Pelosi Must Be Too
If President Trump is supposedly scared of Ocasio-Cortez’s and Sen. Sanders’s calls for socialism, then it appears House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is as well.
Here she is applauding when the President said: “America will never be a socialist country.”
“We are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country,” Pres. Trump says.

Say what you will about Nancy, she is acutely aware of the dangers Ocasio-Cortez’s wild ideas present to her party and the need for independent voters in 2020.
As for Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that Trump is ‘losing on the issues,’ a massive 76 percent of viewers approved of his State of the Union address and the ideas he laid out within it.
That’s not losing on the issues, that’s winning. Trump doesn’t want socialism, nor does America.
aoc IS AN IGNORANT WHORE… NOTHING MORE…
Aoc was asked about Roe vs Wade and she said it is the only way the Mexicans can cross the river.
This woman is mentally ill. She is so stupid my ten year old nephew could debate her and win. Good Lord, how low the liberals have sunken.
Little girl, AOC, President Trump is not afraid of you! His job is to assure Americans and that is exactly why he brought that up in the SOTU address! With your big flappy lips yelling “socialism at every turn Americans were scared! But you know what’s scarier? The fact that you aren’t afraid of socialism!! You need to read a history book, speak with people who have lived under socialism and visit a socialist country! Then maybe you will be scared as well!
Ocasio cortez keeps proving how delusional she is what we are afraid of is the infantilism ideas that encapsulate her notion of what citizenship and socialism are. She hasn’t a clue that too many Generation Z’s short for ZZZZZZZZZZZs is a concern but not something I fear. That she represents a state that uses unions like the NEA to keep people in a state of collective infantilism , is hardly a surprise, she is proud to represent the state of infant killers.
Cortez is a nothing getting too much media attention. Ignore her and like Palin, she will self destruct and go away.
This woman lives in the basement of stupidity and continues to keep digging a hole!
He would wipe her off his shoe if he stepped in her, for certain. But afraid? Afraid of what exactly? LOL
There ya go, a box of rocks loving her stupid ass self, been listening to Soros !!
Ocasio-Cortez viewed the attack, most pointedly aimed at her and another devout socialist in Bernie Sanders, as a badge of honor.
That sounds about right. She’s about as stupid, and dangerous, as they come. Former bartender with absolutely no clue as to how to run things. And you thought Hilary was dangerous. This clown is even worse. Time to say bye bye to this socialist idiot.
SURE he is! Not that IS… funny.
AOC doesn’t have a brain to think with and Trump would never be scared of someone like her
ACO would be a no-body if the fawning left media wasn’t pumping her every chance they get. The woman is a flake and my hope is that she will continue to make even more of the stupid statements she has been making (that only show her raw stupidity) until people have had enough of her stupidity. I doubt that President Trump is in anyway afraid of her. After all that the left leaning press has thrown at him ACO is the least of anyone he fears. Please, can we just not have to listen to her idiocy any longer.
She is a dumb broad who thinks wrongly, emphasis on thinks wrongly, that President Trump is scared of her?!? Her 15 minutes of fame will soon be over I pray. Trump has taken on much bigger and famously known politicians, and this jerk thinks she is above Trump’s intelligence.
Clearly a problem with sending a psycho to congress. Ignorance and stupidity are one brand of trouble, but delusional ranting finds too broad an audience of star-struck followers.
This is how Obama was made, be careful phase2 of the takeover is in gear.
Alexandria Occasionally uses her Cortex (OAC) supposedly graduated fourth in her class at Boston College. That, in itself, tell me a lot about Boston College. She majored in economics and international relations and seems to be dumber than dirt. I wish a reporter would ask her about the Cartesian Plane.
I hope I never run into AOC. Whatever ails her might be catching and I would hate to catch that disease of the brain that she has, It’s worse than Alzheimer’ s or dementia
We have some gistricts that are so lost they elect Nancy, AOC, Kamala, Maxine, Keith, Elizabeth et all. Notice that all of these liberal districts have high welfare, state dependency, WICS, crime and tight gun control. These are Democrat districts. Nancy has to handle this splinter of her party.T hey will cost Dems any election if allowed to remain the focal vocal point for the Dem party. Running as open Socialist Democrats, like Bernie, who almost stole the Dem nomination from Hillary,. All of these nut cases and far left wing who want total government control of our lives. They are a danger to Americam, and we should be scaed of them, until they are gone.
She should be scared of herself. There are already mental health hospitalsn available to take people like her. Mentally ill people are usually the last ones to know.
She will find out what scared really is if she continues to mess with the Trump family. She better find some brains in that head before someone comes after you.
Alexandra O Cortez does realize that America has about 240,000,000 people and Americans have more than 800,000,000 weapons in their possession. How to feed hogs with a little halfbreed who belongs in Hades.
No one is afraid of YOU Alessandra – a loyt of people do pity YOU and your stupid ideas. Why the hell don’t YOU grow up?
Bailing out the banks was a pretty socialist thing to do. Capitalism would have let them fail.
I still recall when some reporter asked Pres. Trump about her, and one of the MANY truly STUPID things she has said, and he responded, “Who?” He barely knows that she exists. I seriously DOUBT that he is “afraid” of her.
Ignorance is as ignorance does – Cortez has now built her reputation as being an ignorant child in the body of a bug-eyed woman who hates everyone. That possibly includes herself.
Overwhelmingly popular? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! In her empty-headed Socialist dreams!
Delusional is a symptom of being a Democrat.They take up residence in make believe worlds.
The only thing the slightest bit scary about you, little girl, is that toothy, wide-open mouth and the demons gleaming in your wide-open eyes. And I doubt our President gives you even a distant thought, unless it’s to shake his head at how ridiculous and superficial you sound every time you open your mouth! Get over your vacuous self, and grow up. Anybody who truly loves our country and has a grain of sense, says to you, “children should be seen and not heard!”
The only people scared of Alex are drunks with unpaid bar tabs….
“SOYLENT GREEN”…for EVERYONE!! except for us elite’s, of course.
If Pelosi and Cortes start pushing Socialism We ARE to Get Up in Arms Immediately and Impeach them fast for making an Uprising in America if they even dare…..the muslims and hindu group are as dangerous! Just keep your eyes and ears open….Our Military is probably prepared and can handle them all if they try a Takeover of America! If they need able bodied people they will announce what We are to do and we will just have to follow instructions to the “T”!
Poor, pretty little Alexandria with her wild eyes and amazing teeth. She seems to be getting intoxicated by all the media hype that’s been lavished so recklessly on her and is now becoming certifiably delusional. I suppose it’s possible Trump has actually given her more than a passing thought, but just barely, and the idea that she frightens him is laughable. She’s a 29 year-old attractive brat created entirely by the media who doesn’t seem to have the intellectual candle power of an amoeba and now believes herself to be – in a wild flight of delusional lunacy – a major player on the American political stage. No day now goes by without incessant references to AOC, so it’s not hard to see where she gets that idea, but the massive stupidity of her ideas (possibly an oxymoron) will eventually be her undoing. Meanwhile, she’s at least good for entertainment value.
I guess we all have our own point of meaning of attractiveness, sorry, I think she is ugly, to much eyeballs and teeth. I doubt trump is afraid of anyone but the investigation boys, and he is still taking all the heat and doing one hell of a job., this little girl is all screwed up in the head, cow farts and flying locomotives , she pulled a lot of what she said at the green crap meeting out and redone it so it looks more like she knew what she was doing. not, she has grade school kids writing her stuff.
Exactly.Pseudo political Spice Girl in search of a made for video group.
Pelosi has a good reason to be scared of the socialist splinter group as she for decades has been a staunch defender of insider trading in securities privilege, for the folks on the Hill. The privilege she’s been a major beneficiary of.
The socialist purists like Occasio-Cortez et al could abolish this semi-legal abnormality, should they come to power. Or maybe not, ’cause after all, socialists never miss opportunity to enrich themselves off citizens’ backs. See Venezuela’s Maduro, Zimbabwe’s Mugabe to name a few.
Everyone should be scared. You want our country to look like Venezuela?
This woman is an socialist ignorant twit.
But she graduated from Boston College.
Graduated from Boston College? And did not know how our government is structured, basic government or economics, common sense? Boston College should be ashamed they gave her a degree. Says a LOT about how useless a degree from that school is. If thy gradeated her as ignorant as she is, what good is a dergree from there?
Do you think Boston College will use her to advertise their excellence ? Perhaps a statue, or as an example of what happens when you do not study hard enough. Boston is ranked 38th out of 312 . So can the college be blamed for the result on this occasion ?i
