When it comes to political comedy, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is the gift that keeps on giving. Each week, Liberty Nation uncovers the blunders that keep us wondering: How did she ever get elected?
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a rather eventful and hilarious week. While many of her colleagues have rejected her Green New Deal, her new proposal on poverty has garnered support from a presidential hopeful. Secondly, it appears the lawmaker might be growing weary of the impeachment talk. And finally, the representative blew up Twitter after she was trolled at one of her town hall meetings.
Support from Fauxcahontas
Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren recently voiced her support for a proposal by Ocasio-Cortez that would provide welfare benefits for illegal immigrants. The legislation, named “A Just Society,” calls for national rent control and would ban the government from denying benefits based on immigration status and prior criminal convictions.
Warren called the proposal “just the type of bold comprehensive thinking we’ll need” to bring about “big structural change.”
This could be an attempt on the part of Warren to curry favor with The Squad and the hard-left progressive crowd. These politicians, who are supported by Justice Democrats, are a growing force on the left and have gained traction in the party.
Bored with Impeachment?
In an astonishing about face, Ocasio-Cortez recently indicated that she’s not as gung ho about impeaching President Donald Trump as she once was. During a Town Hall meeting, she said: “think the whole thing is boring. He should have been impeached a long time ago. I’m over it. And so that’s how I feel about it because we’ve got work to do.”
Wait a minute. Didn’t she spend the last three weeks wailing about how the president needed to be removed from office? It was only a few weeks ago that she was slamming House Democrats for dragging their feet on impeachment. Well, perhaps she wasn’t actually serious about impeachment after all.
#EatTheBabies
Finally, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez once again made headlines, but not for anything she said. This time, she appeared to be on the wrong end of an epic trolling effort. At a recent Town Hall, the representative was discussing her favorite subject: climate change and the imminent apocalypse that will occur when the Earth explodes.
At one point, one of the audience members went on an unhinged rant about the upcoming impact of climate change and make some rather troubling suggestions:
“We only have a few months left. I love that you support the Green Deal, but it’s not gonna get rid of fossil fuel. It’s not going to solve the problem fast enough. A Swedish professor said we can eat dead people, but it’s not fast enough! So, I think your next campaign slogan needs to be this: We’ve got to start eating babies.”
The crowd was visibly confused as the woman turned to others, saying “you’re a pollutant! Too much Co2. We have to start now.”
Staffers of the New York congresswoman approached the woman toward the end of her remarks, as attendees in the room became increasingly uncomfortable. It was later revealed that the woman was a member of LaRouche, a Pro-Trump organization.
What does AOC have in store for us next week? Tune in to find out!

This comment is about the author and his research … or lack thereof…LaRouche, a Pro-Trump organization. Not hardly. LaRouche was a leftist. His movement aligned with democraps mostly in local elections. Not one, no one was ever elected to federal office believing in this guy.

Most of Central and South America is conservative and Catholic. In most Central and South American countries, abortion is illegal, except in cases of rape or where a woman’s health is of concern. Yet, while liberals rail endlessly against conservatives and Christians, they are opening the door and encouraging these conservative Christians to come to the U.S.
But, if you notice, they’ve shifted from demanding citizenship to demanding that these people get everything except citizenship. This will create an underclass that can be abused and exploited, and which will have little recourse for fighting back, because it will have no governmental representation. Far from being a humanitarian act, this is cruel to both the illegal immigrants that would be harmed and to the citizens that would end up paying for them through their tax dollars.
As for Ocasio-Cortez being “bored” and “over it,” I find that a pathetic statement. This is her job. If she’s “over it,” she can quit. If she’s not interested in quitting, she needs to do her job — which includes following through with actions which she openly advocated for on numerous occasions. Maybe in the future she will refrain from opening doors which she has no intention of walking through.
This boredom is a symptom of something else, though: the fact that liberalism runs on emotionality. Conservatives get out and act through a feeling of duty and responsibility. But, with liberals, it’s almost always about emotion. The problem is, emotion dies down, it moves on, it’s inconsistent, and trying to rile that emotion back up can backfire — as we see now with people becoming emotionally exhausted over all the constant hype. I doubt having it backfire will change their methodology, but it does shed some light on why the media, television, and movies have became so overrun with propaganda over the last ten years or so. They can’t get people out to act on their behalf otherwise.
