    “I was born in a place where your ZIP code determines your destiny.” – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    It is so easy to be a troll and crawl in-obtrusively from under your rock to childishly criticize with condescending arrogance. Where do you get your mendacity? Let us all try to be sentient, working together to move this country forward regardless of your political creed or nationality. Give her a chance maybe she has a different perspective or maybe she is sentient and posses far more intellect then you. If you can’t work to improve things than get out of the way and crawl back under your rock.

      It’s disturbing to see all the people on here attacking her intelligence. have you heard the last 2 Republican Presidents speak? Also,half of the mouth-breathing GOP in congress couldn’t pass a seventh-grade math test.

    Well she told everyone how to do their nails…….. Now what could be more important than that! How about a big dose of reality. They always admire
    themselves and eventually forget about real America. She will probably never be a true American. Perhaps she should have served in our military before
    trashing real people and the lives they are living. Disrespect for others is
    a true “mad hatter”. She should not be rude ans shout out that she is “the boss” Childish moronic hypocrit

    Everyday power and most of these quotes just show how feeble her mind actually is. How is stating someone is an organizer worthy of it’s own internet page?

      …while you’re trolling about why someone is worthy of a page, she’s sitting in ELECTED office… while ur…..trolling… #goodjobbuddy

    Where’s her quote on the “three chambers of gov’t” instead of the three branches of gov’t? Oh yes, she described the “three chambers” as the President, House and Senate. A pretty ignorant statement for being a congresswoman. But what do you expect from a Communist. SAD!!

    You forgot OCASIO-CORTEZ when asked about Pelosi: “She is, she is the leader of, of– no no, she, I mean, um, um, Speaker, or rather Leader Pelosi, hopefully, um, you know, we’ll see, she’s uh, she’s the current leader of the party and I think the party absolutely does have its leadership in the House, we our leadership in the Senate as well.” She is a total IDIOT

    No. 10 is my favorite quote because she speaks about a moral society, not the different parts of society. A MORAL society that benefits us all.
