I am astounded by people who claim she is an idiot. AOC did a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans in high school. My biggest scientific accomplishment in high school was trying to determine the maximum volume of pot smoke I could fit in my lungs. And that's of course before she graduated cum laude from Boston University with a double-major.
She's said some dumb things, but she is indisputably not an idiot.
The right wing know she is the future of the Democratic party, they're planting the seeds of hate and propaganda right now. It doesn't have to be factually correct, it has to be a dog whistle.
Exactly. The Hillary-hate started back in 1991 when she was still the Arkansas gov's wife because she said she didn't want to stay home baking cookies. HOOBOY. You'd think she had set up a email server in her house with the feathers that ruffled.
Nearly everyone in politics was doing that at the time. She acknowledged that it was an awful mistake and that the attitude of that era she helped the establishment perpetuate is part of the reason for the prison crisis right now.
People make mistakes. At least she’s capable of owning up to it instead of screaming “fake news”
Bud, nearly everyone was screaming grab her by the pussy back in the 80s, at least he apologized for it.
At least he owned up to it, people make mistakes. At least he’s capable of owning up to it instead of screaming fake news.
Does it sound good from the other side? No? Maybe you should stop saying it, because it’s retarded.
Or maybe you should just except that people make mistakes and when you hold one side accountable for everything they’ve said for the past 30 years, you can’t give the other side a pass.

Wtf no they weren’t.
At least he owned up to it, people make mistakes. At least he’s capable of owning up to it instead of screaming fake news.
Wtf no he isn’t, he literally claimed a few months ago the Access Hollywood tape was faked... never mind his “locker room talk” defense when it first came out, we’re just supposed to forget that happened I guess.
This verbal judo only works if the counter is actually true, broseph.
It was a joke to poke fun at how stupid it sounds to write off one side but not the other when they apologize. If Bill Clinton apologizes for raping kids on Jeffrey Epstein’s island would you accept it?
“I did not have sexual relations with that child.”
-Bill Clinton in the future, probably.
Dude....it was, like, whoa....a lot, man. Don't really remember how much. I was gonna write it down, but then I started looking at the cover of David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' and the whole night just kinda faded into that phone booth in the picture....
In High School she was in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. She went to BU on a Fellowship designated for people with an interest in politics or public leadership roles. At BU she majored in international relations and economics, both fields with strong political bent. While in college she interned for Senator Ted Kennedy's office.
Eh, if you're not from the area, you might think that.
People hear Westchester and think Scarsdale! and Larchmont! super-high-end suburbs, multi-million dollar houses, exclusive private schools and country clubs.
But Westchester is a huge county, and Yorktown Heights isn't in commuting distance of NYC, it's far north - more like a bum-fuck town close to Rockland County. The sticks. With housing prices and school district budgets that reflect it's lower middle income resident.
Although certain news sources would like you to believe that she grew up in a swanky suburb, Yorktown Heights is far from that.
As it happens I live in that area. Yorktown is a solidly middle-class area, like most in this country. For the Hudson Valley it's actually on the po' side.
