Ever since Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) burst onto the national political scene a year
ago she has been a ceaselessly erupting geyser of inane soundbites.
There are days when it seems as if she is performing an extemporaneous Saturday Night Live skit,
soliloquizing away, always desperately attempting to project an awkward
gravitas that feels like she may have learned it from a YouTube video
called, “How To Seem Super Super Serious and Stuff.”
One
of the more bizarre aspects of AOC’s ongoing struggle with verbal
diarrhea is that the media insists on celebrating everything she says
actually having intellectual heft. Sure, it’s not unusual for the
mainstream media to fawn over their own creations -- Beto O’Rourke comes
to mind -- but the treatment of AOC stands out because she is truly a
remarkably stupid woman.
I mean, a real paste-eater.
O’Rourke -- a monumental moron in his own right -- is the second coming of Einstein compared to Ocasio-Cortez.
Our girl Alexandria was at it again on Thursday, offering up perhaps her most stunning display of prime-time stupidity yet:
The Oversight Committee held a hearing Wednesday to discuss proposed changes to poverty line calculations made by the Trump administration. During the hearing, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued that, contrary to Trump’s claim in the State of the Union, Americans hadn’t been “lifted” off of food stamps, they had been “kicked” off.
Then she went into Bizzaroland:

The Twitter reaction was swift, brutal, and quite entertaining:
Not sure what's funnier:
>AOC taking metaphors literally
>AOC, a former bartender who is now a congressman, dismissing the idea of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps
Here is one of my favorites:
It's a physical impossibility to be in a pickle. Inside an actual pickle?? Our bodies are too big. It's physically impossible. The whole thing is a joke!
And on it went.
As
I entered the discussion, someone suggested that maybe AOC might be
playing some sort of three-dimensional chess that the rest of us just
don’t get. I wasn’t buying it:
Have you considered the possibility that she's not dumb. That she manipulates the right into attacking a small factual point and conflates that with an attack on a broader societal point that she can use to paint however she chooses?
Nah...she's just dumb
One follower (@Chaucerisms)
then suggested something that is now probably my favorite new
conspiracy theory: that AOC is a Republican plant, the GOP’s own
Manchurian Candidate, snuck into office from the Left fringe to disrupt
the Democrats and make them look bad.
If
you think about it, she causes Nancy Pelosi more headaches than she
does the Republicans. AOC is the reason, after all, that Granny Boxwine
rushed impeachment and had it blow up in the party’s face.
It’s
more comforting to indulge this fantastical notion than it is to think
that someone who is too stupid to be left alone near electrical outlets
or sharp objects is a congressional juggernaut.
If the Republicans are lucky, she will keep talking in front of a camera every day until the election.
