House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is covered almost daily at Fox News. It would be easy to believe they have a fetish for her at that news outlet. She is a rising star in the Democratic Party and she is a Democratic Socialist, which is likely to ruffle the feathers of all of those conservatives at Fox News.
“I never will understand the conservative obsession with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She's a first-term congress critter from New York City . She's bright, but they keep trying to make the case that she's stupid, and she keeps feeding them into the social-media wood chipper. And then they decide to heckle her and forget that she was an NYC bartender and, as such, she has the clapback instincts of a rake that gets stepped on. And now, formerly Very Important People are getting into the act.”4
Almost every week Fox News reports that some spokesperson has accused Ocasio-Cortez of being 'financially illiterate,'[1] and calling for her to be removed from office. If she can’t understand the wonders of capitalism and if she doesn’t just love a system where wealthy people run everything and make sure everything works for their benefit, she must be illiterate. That makes people like me illiterate also. A lot of us are illiterate if we just don’t adore rich people and their system that supports them. Ocasio-Cortez is real good at answering back her critics. Here Rep. Ocasio Cortez Responds to Fox New' weird obsession with her:
For many of us, Ocasio-Cortez is doing what we want her to do.
