      AOC claims racism and sexism again as the roots of criticism against her. Yesterday she tweeted that she and Paul Ryan were both elected to Congress at 28 with bold ideas. But he was heralded as a genius while she is being called a fraud. Must be racism and sexism.

      Actually it's because you don't have any ideas. You have a lot of emotion with zero realistic plans for backing up what you claim you want to do. So yeah you are a fraud. Kind of like Trump really.

        At least she can still use the "youth and inexperience" excuse.

          She shouldn't compare herself to Paul Ryan. He wasn't a genius. We got into tons more debt under his watch.

                Yes... and what the hell was RMoney thinking picking him as his running mate?

                      Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announces 'self-care' break before congressional session even starts

                      Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs a break.

                      The Bronx-bred democratic socialist heading into her freshman term in the House of Representatives announced Monday she’s taking some time off to take care of herself before she officially starts her new job — and she’s taking her supporters along for the ride.

                              Maybe I'm not as up to speed on congressman as most. I would have a hard time naming 10 of them. Why should I care if this one takes a vacation?

                                She’s made herself into a symbol of the riding left. Both sides think they are well served for it.
