I get it. Being bombastic, hyperbolic, and a bit edgy with the verbiage can be attractive to an audience overwhelmed with milqetoast political dumbfuckery. See what I did there? From Marjorie Taylor Greene to Jasmine Crockett, we’ve seen the rise of old-school political banter. It’s not uncivil, it was, in fact, common during the nation’s founding. The fact that anti-moralist modern secular humanist doyens pretend it’s offensive to their non-existent sensibilities is just amusing.
Name-calling was both an art form and expected, as well as considered a form of free speech. It wasn’t until years later that someone decided there was a limit to how offensive and accusatory one could be without actual evidence.
Then there’s the Occasional Cortex—the Neiman Marxist. Sandy from the block. An upper-middle-class kid from an upper-middle-class suburban milqetoast neighborhood. The BU bartender who donned the look of Ava Perone, drawn in Soviet-style for her campaign posters, who pretended to be “street” to bump a dusty old Dem out of a liberal ghetto seat for life. It’s hers now. Forever, like San Fran Nan.
Cortez could shoot a one-armed, albino illegal immigrant lesbian outside a Planned Parenthood, on the way to pay for his abortion with an EBT card, and get re-elected. So, the idea that her recent actionable libel of President Trump concerns her is just silly. Politically, at least. She’s a hero to the left, especially if it has defamatory connotations.
She called “him” a rapist, which is what cost ABC News and former Clinton insider George Stephanopolis sixteen million dollars, more if they had not agreed to settle. It’s one of those few and far between ” not protected speech” even when directed at the most public person on the planet, things. And it’s from her personal account, not her political one, as if the two could be separated. Dems are incapable of separating politics from anything unless it suits some political goal. The person doing business as AOC said it. Team Trump has yet to weigh in, but it is likely not worth the bother.
She is currently being investigated for accepting impermissible gifts, separately for employing an illegal alien on her staff, and a third time for the improper use of her taxpayer-funded expense account. I also saw her name on a short list of members of Congress who had accumulated an excess of wealth since achieving elected office, which could be subject to inquiry—no word on whether that was just a warning or if the DOJ was serious.
In any case, another suit isn’t exactly likely to do more than embolden her to suggest she’s being targeted as a woman of color. It would be amusing if the millions she has acquired in her short stint in Congress ended up funding Trump’s presidential library, but I don’t see it happening. Trump isn’t named in the tweet, for one thing. The inference seems obvious, but there is enough non-specificity that pursuing her for that is a waste of time. You’ll get more mileage asking how she got so damn rich on $176,000 a year, given her wardrobe and lifestyle choices since winning the congressional lottery.
Her constituents will forgive all the lying, wasting money, and then more lying (it’s so cute when she gets caught and pretends she didn’t), and then there’s the lying. They don’t care. But even rank and file Dems can get beligerant if the promised utopia turns out to be for elected leaders like AOC using access and influence to enrich themselves while the constituents are increasingly trapped in deteriorating dependency lifestyles.
Not all of them strive to be welfare queens.
