It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t afraid.
In fact, she laughs in the face of fear.
Especially when protesters hounded Assassination-Threatened Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh outside a D.C. steak house.
“I will never understand the pearl clutching over these protests,” the wide-eyed Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
Yes. AOC is actually a representative in the U.S. Congress, and a more magnanimous woman you’ll never meet.
“Poor guy,” the New York Democrat tweeted after Kavanagh had to flee Morton’s steakhouse last Friday.
“He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him. The least they could do is let him eat cake.”
But, sorry. That doesn’t pass the smell test.
AOC is admitting she doesn’t know there is a federal statute that makes it illegal to protest judges at their homes and at court.
I know. Sticklers for facts and law and order will say, “Heck! She should know.”
And she should. Or, at the very least, she could walk over to the Library of Congress and look it up. The Library is the research library that officially serves the United States Congress.
But maybe she doesn’t know that, either.
What she does know is how traumatized she was during the January 6 riots. Sure, she wasn’t at the site, at the time, but was in an office building nearby.
That could be scary.
Much more scary than a guy showing up at your house, let’s say Kavanaugh’s, with, let’s say, a police vest, tactical knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a Glock pistol, duct tape and ammunition.
Nicholas John Roske did that.
He got out of a cab in front of Kavanaugh’s house with plans to kidnap and/or kill the Supreme Court jurist, because of the leaked Roe Supreme Court draft opinion, and because "it would give his life meaning."
But, as AOC has said, “To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable…that’s the point.”
Flying by the seat of her pants seems to work better for her, Democrats, and the “January 6 Committee,” than all that stinking research.
Like her claim that an ectopic pregnancy is the same as an abortion.
But then again, this is a gal who didn’t know what a garbage disposal was, and was amazed how lettuce grew.
“FOOD – that comes out of dirt…like, it’s magic,” she wrote.
Although her stupidity has gone unnoticed, her pluck has not. It’s so much like Nancy Pelosi’s.
Nancy has held her head up high after her hubbie cracked up their Porsche after drinking too much vino.
The Speaker of the House handled it like the authorities near her Napa County home did. She refused to speak about it. And Napa County authorities followed suit.
Now you can say these Democrats treat themselves better than they treat you. But that’s just sour grapes. These people have their fingers on the pulse of the country.
Take Dr. Jill for instance. She has a doctorate from the University of Delaware.
Admittedly her doctorate thesis does have a lot of typos and such, but to point that out is unfair. Jill is very busy.
So what if she didn’t practice how to say “bodega” before she addressed a Latinx audience?
You’re saying she should have, just because this week a 61-year-old, New York bodega employee, Jose Alba, was arrested, for defending himself, after he was attacked.
In a bodega.
Come on, man! Why should she know that?
Dr. Jill won’t ever go to a bodega! Besides, Jill is very busy.
Respecting your audience and your message takes time.
She may have called Latinos “tacos,” in her address to the UnudosUS progressive Latino group.
But, the woman only has a limited number of staffers to help her out. It’s not her fault.
It’s not AOC’s, or Nancy’s, or Dr. Jill’s fault, ever. Either.
Dr. Jill did say she was “mucho” sorry for her taco faux pas.
Nancy took Paul to Italy so God and the Pope could forgive his DUI.
And AOC will have the chance to be as magnanimous as all get out.
When protestors show up at her wedding.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
