I would prefer this woman get little or no attention, then maybe she would dry up and blow away. Still this is worth reporting as it well captures the mindset of Leftist in general. Who cares about those pesky facts?
ZitatRecently elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says it doesn’t much matter much if she gets her basic facts correct – so long as she's “morally right" in the end.
Shortly after touting her proposal to raise top federal income tax brackets to a stunning 70 percent, the self-described Democratic socialist told Anderson Cooper during a 60 Minutes interview that her critics are much more concerned with facts than feelings, suggesting it doesn’t really matter that elected lawmakers always get their specifics right.
When Cooper pointed out the Washington Post gave Ocasio-Cortez four Pinnochios for screwing up her facts when it came to Pentagon spending, the New York representative shrugged it off as no big deal.
“If people want to really blow up one figure here or one word there, I would argue that they’re missing the forest for the trees,” Ocasio- Cortez responded. “I think that there’s a lot of people who are more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
Then, after Cooper pointed out that being factually correct is...well, actually pretty important, she backtracked.
“It is absolutely important. And whenever I make a mistake, I say, ‘OK, this was clumsy.’ And then I restate what my point was," she said.
Some real intellectual criticism from Whoopie! You tell her Whoopie!!!
Whoopi Goldberg chastised freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Monday's edition of 'The View' for "pooping on people" who have a history of advancing the Democratic party agenda.
"There are a whole bunch of people in the Democratic party who have been busting their asses to make sure that women get what they need, people get what they need, children get what they need," Goldberg said. "So you just got in there. And I know you got lots of good ideas, but I would encourage you to sit still for a minute and learn the job... because there are people in that party who have been working their tails off for this country, and they know a lot. And you could learn some stuff from them. And I just feel like you don't have to be born into it."
"You don't have to know it when you step out, but before you start pooping on people and what they've done, you got to do something too," Goldberg advised Ocasio-Cortez.

Wait til AOC attacks Whoopi. This could get nasty pretty quick!
"Whoopi was born Caryn Elaine Johnson in New York, NY in November 1955 and has a net worth of $45 million."
I'm sure AOC has some designs for Whoopi's money! These liberal 1% ers have skated. It just might be time for a big mouth talker, AOC, to chide Whoopi about not "paying her fair share".
This could get interesting! [once the honeymoon is over]

Thank you, Whoopie, for summarizing the Liberal view of government. It's a huge supermarket which will supply your every need.
How can the Democrats say they support border security when they also advocate for sanctuary cities?
