NEW YORK, NY—In an interview on Meet the Press Sunday, Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scolded American leaders for not setting the minimum wage as high as Venezuela, whose hyper-inflated currency is forcing minimum wage increases all year long.
Ocasio-Cortez then pointed out that if we would just raise the minimum wage to somewhere in the millions like the socialist South American country did, everyone will be a millionaire.
“Venezula’s minimum wage is, like, millions per month, and ours isn’t even close to that,” she said. “Our minimum wage is, like, seven bucks or something. We call ourselves a developed country, but we don’t even just like print nearly as much money as Venezuela and give it out for free, because of businesses and corporations and things like that.”
She also called Venezuela’s leaders “really smart” for overloading the economy with more currency, and called on America’s leadership to do the same. “It just goes to show that socialism is better because you can inflate the currency to a lot more, and more is better than less, obviously.”
“It’s just common sense, and you know, like, human rights and stuff,” she added.
Off topic, but Meghan McCain sure has gotten fat.
?w=1000
Meghan McCain did a sequel to a Julia Roberts movie at the funeral. “Petty Woman”
Megan McFats has probably gotten portly from eatin’ all of that baby chitlins cooked in onions.
She really is that dumb! The socialist stupid, it burns and spews out like molten lava.
Is New York the dumbest city on the planet? If this thing wins, “like” I guess we’ll have our answer.
Jeez, who is this gal?
It’s satire. But she is that dumb.
Pardon me sir, I know I have a reputation around here for being ruthlessly opinionated, but I have found by communication with women who go by hyphenated names that they are usually nasty stupid liberal bitches. Also, if they also drive Subarus they’re usually militant outspoken lesbians.
What is it about Subarus? Almost every time I see one, it has some kind of bumper sticker indicating a liberal bent, like ‘Coexist’, or ‘I’m With Her’.
Is it just conflation on my part?
Any ideas, anyone?
If a woman is driving it she is a big fan of carpet but not the kind people put on their floors.
I got it. Consider the room temp IQ’s.
“It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.’ But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.” – Murray Rothbard
Took me a while to find the info that it is a satire site, but the fact that I had to look to make sure says something.
If I were Boston University I’d ask for that economics degree we gave her back.
She was smart enough to jettison that Pro-palestinian bully Israel line very quickly.
BU is an idiot factory.
BU will probably erect a statue in her honor.
BU is Harvard light and famous for preparing janitors for MIT…..
I don’t know anything about The Babylon Bee as I type this. I will go look. Is it something like The Onion?
Yes it is satire. However, given enough time that spic twit who has the hyphenated name will or probably has said something that ignorant.
Is there video of her brilliance?
Meet the Press has no transcript or video of this, and does not list her as a guest. YouTube has no video of this either. Babylon Bee doesn’t list the date of the interview, nor do they allow comments. Did this really happen, or is it an attempt to make her appear more idiotic than she already is? Does anyone know the date?
It’s a fucking satire site like The Onion. Lighten up Francis.
OK, fool me once…
I’m stupid enough to believe it because she is stupid enough to say it.
Thing of it is though….She really is that stupid. Being an upstate New Yorker I know. NYC people think they have a moral superiority over the rest of us. They are never wrong,know everything,and will gladly remind us of it. They are arrogant and smug. So of course they are gonna elect her. Come on!!!! They keep electing Cuomo….
It seems it’s time to back down the fluoride levels….
This is a joke? Right! We finally hit rock bottom of the up and coming. Can someone tell me how public education can benefit anyone when this is the end result?
Okay, I know you’ve got it in quotation marks and I know she’s fukkin stupid, but she didn’t really say that…did she?
being a dumbshit never looked so good. god i hope she wins in november. she will be a great recruiter for the young Republicans clubs at every university.
Wow, she really is an idiot. I shudder to think of all the socialist/liberals that are buying into what she’s saying. Maff-its just not for everyone, I guess.
Look to the bottom of the page.

Well Robert Mugabe did even better. He made every Zimbabwean citizen a billionaire.
Yes, and the stores in Venezuela are all overflowing with goods that that the new Venezuelan millionaires could ever possibly need! lol
