AOC - can she get any dumber

Unlike you, AOC is very much aware of executive powers (weed scheduling, student debt, etc...):

But doesn’t the White House agree — didn’t it propose a more robust package? The obvious response here is that the administration faces the reality of a 50-50 Senate.

There is an enormous amount of executive action that they’re sitting on that I think is underutilized. On student loans. We’ve got executive action on the table with respect to climate. There are certainly things that we can do with immigration.

So why are we taking this as a legislative compromise, when the opportunity is so much greater, or when Biden could do this stuff with a stroke of a pen, and is just reminding us that he’s choosing not to?

We always try to tell people why they need to settle for less, instead of being able to harness the energy of our grass roots and take political risks in service of them, the same way that we take political risks in service of swing voters. We can do both.

AOC adds no value in Congress. She is one of the most under-performing legislators in terms of actually doing any work and enacting bills. She really should go back to bar-tending and whatever she thinks this is...

You're just mad AOC made you look like a chump and change the conversation from her knowledge of executive powers
 
Every time we think she could not get more ignorant, she sinks to a new low...

AOC rebuked for doubting smash-and-grab sprees are happening: ‘Tone-deaf and offensive’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that the smash-and-grab crime wave is a hoax drew howls from fellow lawmakers on Capitol Hill, as retailers and police refuted the claim by detailing the huge impact of organized theft.

So far, the criticism of Ms.Ocasio-Cortez has come exclusively from Republicans and retailers.

Rep. Jim Banks, Indiana Republican, called the New York Democrats’ remarks “tone-deaf and offensive” to the family of the Oakland security guard who was shot and killed in San Francisco last week. He was protecting a TV news crew covering a smash-and-grab theft in the area.

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), a trade association representing leading retailers, also took issue with Ms.Ocasio-Cortez‘s assertion.

“Respectfully, the Congresswoman has no idea what she is talking about. Both the data and stack of video evidence makes fairly clear that this is a growing problem in need of solutions,” Jason Brewer, RILA senior executive vice president of communications said in an email. “If she is not concerned with organized theft and increasingly violent attacks on retail employees, she should just say that.”


Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview this week with The Washington Times that “a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out.”

She continued: “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.”

She made the claim despite scores of videos documenting the rash of attacks by rampaging thieves and reports from big box stores across the country about an uptick of organized retail theft and violent attacks on employees.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not respond to a request for her to elaborate on her remarks.

Ocasio-Cortez‘s “credibility continues to fall.”

“It’s important that people use appropriate words when something is clearly happening,” said Mr. Issa, California Republican. “Law enforcement may have to say ‘alleged’ because no one has been convicted, but I think people who know better, should use more appropriate words. But she’s not known for appropriate words.”
