Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-Stalin (D-NY) now claims she could win a Nobel Prize in Physics and that people would still call her dumb. At least, that’s according to the millennial socialist’s recent tweet storm.
Here’s what went down:
First, AOC tweeted out this self-promotion poster disguised as inspirational thinking.

Then, conservative critic Kurt Schlichter shot back with this terse message.

That’s when AOC blew a gasket.
What, are you sad I don’t speak as our President does, w top hits like “Just grab ‘em by the p—?” Or going on abt turbines & wind cancer?🙄
I could win a Nobel Prize in Physics & they’d still call me dumb. That’s why I don’t give a damn about misogynist takes on my intelligence. https://t.co/0kbtkVreOi

This is quite an interesting combination of statements. First, let’s notice that Schlichter didn’t call her dumb or use that word, though I guess you could say he implied she’s not a deep thinker. AOC’s response was to attack President Trump and to claim no amount of intellectual achievement would be enough for her critics.
Let’s just state up front that AOC is really in no danger of winning a Nobel Prize in Physics or any other scientific discipline. But her tweet suggests someone’s intelligence can be judged by their “top hits,” i.e. some of the worst/dumbest things they’ve said. If that’s the case then AOC is in trouble and not just from misogynists. …
There’s a lot more nonsense to be mined out of her brief career. The point is, there’s plenty to criticize here on the merits without the need for misogyny to explain it. What AOC is doing is using her identity politics as a shield from legitimate criticism. She’s not even really hiding what she’s doing. Remember this gem: “There’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.” The problem isn’t that her critics are unfair, it’s that she frequently shoots her mouth off without knowing what she’s talking about and then claims any negative reaction to her unfounded statements are primarily because she has breasts.
Sounds about right!
