Both have written profound works on economics and political democracy respectively.

"Freshman Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez deleted a tweet Thursday after she attempted to call out "older male" Republicans for posing next to a cardboard cutout of her.

The lawmaker wasn't a Republican, though. He was a fellow Democrat.....".

Of course, the old white male handled it like a gentleman:

"....Yarmuth responded later on Twitter: "I was a Republican 35 years ago, but I think I have become wiser as an older, white, male Democrat. I simply wanted everyone to know I welcome @RepAOC in Kentucky, regardless of what old white male Republicans think," Yarmuth tweeted....."

This is more about Nancy Pelosi than it is about the Clueless Ocasio-Cortez. Nancy put AOC on the very important House Budget Committee and AOC doesn't even know who the Chairman of this committee is.
In fact -- she berates him as an "old white Republican".

Rep. John Yarmuth, a Democrat from the Bluegrass State who chairs the House Budget Committee and has served in Congress since 2007.

Nancy Pelosi doesn't have any control over her caucus and is doing a really lousy job of choosing members for committees.

This woman is a menace. I was hoping she would keep her mouth shut and take some time to learn something, but I don't see that happening. I suspect she will not be reelected.

I agree except with the last part. Her constituents are dumber than her and may people support her, as evidenced by the posts on CD.


In a private job if you humiliate your boss on Twitter, you will be out of the job the next day. But here she cannot even recognize her boss and insult the Chair of the committee she is on as a junior member, and still get away with it. Sad.

Time will tell. Last time I checked, her poll numbers were horrendous.

I still dislike Trump more, but she is definitely good competition.

This thread is about AOCs dumbness, so your pivot attempt is laughed at and denied.

AOC will help elect Republicans for many years to come.
