Good day all. Alexandria Occasional-Cortex is the gift that that keeps on giving. She is rapidly becoming known as the stupidest member of the House of Representatives, and that\u2019s saying something.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since she won the election, (Showing that the voters in her district are even dumber then she is), she has come out four square in favor of destroying the United States. She has started pushing a load of crap called \u201cThe New Green Deal\u201d which, if implemented, will end the United States in 10 years, and probably kill millions. She has also demanded socialist medicine, which is a proven killer, and has plans to pay for all of this by raising taxes to at least 70%<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, people who actually understand how the world works have been checking the facts this nitwit has been throwing out there. This has annoyed Representative Occasional-Cortex and now she\u2019s attacking them. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at fact-checkers just days after taking office, accusing them of \u201cfalse equivalency\u201d and \u201cbias\u201d toward her in their columns examining her statements. <\/b><\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, D-N.Y., has been called out by fact-checkers at a steady clip since her upset primary win last year over then-Rep. Joe Crowley. She’s apparently had enough. On Monday, she took aim at PolitiFact and The Washington Post fact-check unit for supposedly singling her out. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cFacts are facts, America. We should care about getting things right. Yet standards of who gets fact-checked, how often + why are unclear,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Monday. \u201cThis is where false equivalency + bias creeps in, allowing climate deniers to be put on par w\/ scientists, for example.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Washington Compost is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CommuNazi Party. If they have started calling out Occasional-Cortex\u2019s statements, then she is so far around the bend, she\u2019s coming full circle. Of course, the little twit doesn\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, it looks like @PolitiFact has fact-checked Sarah Huckabee Sanders and myself the *same* amount of times: 6,\u201d she said. \u201cShe\u2019s been serving for 2 years. I\u2019ve served 4 days. Why is she fact-checked so little? Is she adhering to some standard we don\u2019t know about?\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

She added: \u201cAnother question for @politifact: some officials\u2019 statements (ex. Andrew Cuomo) get rated \u2018true\u2019 frequently. I say true things all the time \u2013 I\u2019d hope most do. When does Politifact choose to rate true statements? Is there a guide? I\u2019d be happy to repost if there is.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First off, the fact checkers at the Compost and PolitiNoFacts have been caught repeatedly making things up with regards to Ms. Huckabee. That isn\u2019t to say that she doesn\u2019t say things that are wrong, and doesn\u2019t earn a good hammering. However, with Cuomo and you, they have been rather gentle, trying to actually protect the Progressive CommuNazis. The \u201cFact\u201d is, my dear Ms. Occasional-Cortex, that you are just plain dead wrong, so wrong that the fact checkers, who skew almost as hard left as you do, can\u2019t bury it.<\/p>\n

A reporter for the Washington Post, which regularly publishes a fact-check column assigning \u201cPinocchios\u201d based on the level of falsehood in statements made, hit back, noting there is a way to \u201cavoid\u201d being fact-checked — and stressing they scrutinize the Trump administration plenty. <\/b><\/p>\n

The Washington Compost has been \u201cFact checking\u201d President Trump since day -100. The problem is, the facts President Trump puts out there are generally far more correct then incorrect. Does he stretch things? Of course he does. Does he flat out lie? No. He may be wrong, but he doesn\u2019t make stuff up the way the CommuNazis do.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one likes to be fact-checked. There\u2019s a simple way to avoid it. And there\u2019s a big difference between the colossal amount of time we spend fact-checking Trump (7,645 false\/misleading claims and counting) and TWO fact-checks of @AOC,\u201d Post reporter Sal Rizzo tweeted. <\/b><\/p>\n

I think that Ms. Occasional-Cortex doth protest to much. If she expect to amount to anything inside the Beltway, she\u2019s going to need to do two things. Understand that the crap she spews out as facts is going to be checked, and grow a much thicker skin. Perhaps she should just admit she is in over her head and resign. I think she could have a great future in the Adult Film industry.<\/p>\n
