Freshman Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thought she had the CEO of Wells Fargo cornered.
She was dead wrong.
Check this out…
From Daily Wire:
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to grill Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan during a House Financial Services Committee Hearing on Tuesday and ended up getting embarrassed.
[…]
Ocasio-Cortez used her time during the hearing to push her political agenda against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and against the fossil fuel industry.
AOC: “Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?”
Sloan: “I don’t know how to answer that question because we weren’t.”
AOC: “Uh, so in finan–, you’ve, you were financing, involved in debt financing in CoreCivic and GEO group, correct?”
Sloan: “For a period of time, we were involved in financing one of the firms, we are not anymore. I’m not familiar with the specific assertion you are making, we were not involved in that.”

Ocasio-Cortez is “the boss.” Is everybody okay with that?
Her reasoning is that she’s trying to do something about “climate change” by introducing her “Green New Deal,” while her critics aren’t doing anything.
Has AOC considered that the opposition isn’t doing anything because there’s nothing to do?
Check this out…
AOC: “I’m at least trying and they’re not. If you’re trying, you’ve got all the power, you’re driving the agenda, you’re doing all this stuff.”
“Like, I just introduced Green New Deal two weeks ago and it’s creating all of this conversation. Why? Because no one else is even trying — because no one else has even tried!”
“I’m like you try! You do it! Cuz you’re not!”
“So until you do it, I’M THE BOSS! How about that?”

After unveiling her “Green New Deal,” which would cost American taxpayers tens of trillions of dollars over a decade, AOC is now saying America is native land for all Latinos and ICE and DHS need to be abolished.
You can’t make this up.
All Latinos have a race-based right to migrate to the United States, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday.
AOC: “We have to have … respect for the right of human mobility.
AOC: “It is a right. We are standing on native land, and Latino people are descendants of native people. We cannot be told and criminalized simply for our identity or our status.”
About eliminating ICE and the DHS:
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) called for an end to funding the Department of Homeland Security during a MoveOn.org event Thursday.
AOC: “This is one of the most urgent moral issues and crises that we have in America right now. This is not a political issue. Children dying in detention centers should not be a partisan concern. It should be a universal concern for every American in the United States.”
On Trump, Ocasio-Cortez noted: “He said and spoke of the idea that he likes, quote-unquote, legal immigration. But that is a lie. The president does not like any form of immigration. He has been cutting down and imposing restrictions on legal forms, on the diversity visa lottery, on family unification, and so on.”
AOC: “We’re here to say that an agency like ICE, which repeatedly and systematically violates human rights, does not deserve a dime.”
Ocasio-Cortez is very mad with the liberal media. Why?
Because they reported something she said.
AOC says she didn’t say what is being reported while speaking with late-night host Stephen Colbert, but as you’ll see below, that is clearly a lie.
Colbert: “Now, congresswoman, for you and other freshman members of Congress, you’re getting a fair amount of pushback from even members of your own party saying ‘wait your turn, go slow, don’t ask for so much so fast right now, you’re new, wait your turn for everything and don’t make waves.'” I want to ask this question in a respectful manner, knowing also that you’re from Queens, so you will understand this question. On a scale from zero to some, how many f***s do you give?”
“I think it’s zero,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

Ocasio-Cortez claims that she did not say last night on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" that she gives "zero" f*cks about pushback from Democrats

Check out AOC on the rampage:
I actually didn’t say this, so while I know “brown women cursing” drives clicks, maybe you accurately quote the whole exchange instead of manipulating people into thinking I said this sentence instead of just the word “zero.” https://t.co/MrXIbALNP3

In a shock to no one, @politico is also running with the misattribution as well.
Here’s what actually happened: I was asked a question on a late night show and answered with the word “zero.”https://t.co/soBEwGTSbd

And here’s the @nypost not only running with the false quote, but adding an angry photo to boot:
This is how news hysteria develops out of nothing at all. https://t.co/cJmBwPit6I

The freshman Democrat is mad at Democrats for not taking her seriously.
It all started with Hollywood writer Aaron Sorkin, himself a liberal, saying newly elected Dems need to stop acting like children:

Enter Alexandria:
Let’s dig into “gravitas,” bc it’s an ambiguous word, selectively applied.
Ever wonder how expression that’s feminine, working-class, queer, or poc isn’t deemed as having “gravitas,” but talking like an Aaron Sorkin character does?
Men have “gravitas,” women get “likeable.” https://t.co/0g9FNpExAl

This has deeper consequences, bc as we’ve seen w/ narratives advanced by the right, they have trouble recognizing intelligence in people they disagree with.
This is what bias looks like: for some ppl, small mistakes mean they’re not “serious,” yet others are forgiven for worse.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 20, 2019
If you notice, on the right they’ll flatly call people blanket terms, and even make things up. And I don’t mean trolls – I mean their biggest commentators + TV figures.
This is different from criticizing a specific take you disagree with, or pointing out discriminatory patterns.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 20, 2019
Just look at the marginal tax rate discussion.
The right’s biggest strategy against my marginal tax rate proposal isn’t to argue against it – it‘s to lie about it, and imply that it’s a tax on all income, bc that helps their characterization of me as a “crazy/dumb“ Latina woman.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 20, 2019
This stuff infects some Democrats, too. Because in our overall discourse, nonviolent protest somehow gets deemed as not “civil,” yet stripping women’s rights or incarcerating children on the border doesn’t receive the same characterization.
What’s up with that?

Lastly, we wouldn’t need to talk about bathrooms at all if we acted like adults, washed our hands + minded our own business instead of trying to clock others.
Going by track record, I’d feel safer in a bathroom w/ a trans woman than a powerful male executive any day of the week.

From Mediaite:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked her critics in a Washington Post interview, telling them to “enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”
According to Urban Dictionary — not always a reliable source, but useful in this case — “run train” is colloquially defined as “to gangbang” someone with “several friends.”
