WASHINGTON, D.C.—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blew up on Twitter, frustrated that the GOP was taking her statements on things like punitively taxing only ten people and that the world is going to end in twelve years as serious positions. “I don’t think I could have been clearer that everything I’ve said is a total joke,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
And it wasn’t just her detractors who were frustrating her, but also her supporters, who do not seem to understand the satire. “Have they not seen the completely ridiculous price tags on my plans?” she asked. “Did they not see that my big plan to save the environment was to give free money to people unwilling to work? Everything I say is for entertainment purposes only. There is no substantive policy or political worldview there whatsoever.”
People taking Ocasio-Cortez seriously has been a problem for her since she first came on the scene. She thought she could fight back by making increasingly ignorant statements and coming up with vastly unworkable plans, but she still finds herself plagued by people taking her literally.
Ocasio-Cortez is working with news networks, though, so that instead of “(D)” appearing after her name, they’ll put “[satire].”

The only joke is that this stupid bitch ever got elected. It shows how dumb they are in New York!
Government is 1 big clown show given by puppets and puppeteers.
She is so dumb this could actually be true.
This is not satire…..https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/aoc-now-says-she-was-just-joking-about-the-world-ending-in-12-years/
She’s a lying cunt.
Apparently the story is closer to the truth, from True Pundit:
n Sunday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that she was joking around when she claimed the world was going to end in 12 years if we do not take serious action against Climate Change, a declaration she’s been widely criticized over.
The 29-year-old socialist mocked the Republican Party for taking her claim about the end of the world seriously, which she suggested was a combination of “dry humor + sarcasm.”
Missing the point.
She has the charisma, she is learning the lines her handlers are giving her, she is perfect for the job.
Maxine Waters….no need to give another example.
AOC will have a long self enriching career in govinmint.
We deserve the rulers we get.
For the love of God, give Puerto Rico its independence today and shove them all back on that pinche sugar island. What genius thought it was a good idea to let a sleepy little Spanish island with a half Negro population with an average IQ of 80 become a part of the U.S.? Oh, yeah, the great Northern patriots who won the Civil War and went on to provoke the Spanish-American War, to expand their shoddy “empire”. And the Southern fool Woodrow Wilson pushed through citizenship for them. What a lovely country we have. Other than J-Lo, what have we gotten out of the deal?
