Twitter Explodes Over Ocasio-Cortez's Latest Dumb Stunt - And It's Pure Evil...

Representative-elect Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez will be paying her Congressional interns $15/hr. With other people’s money, of course.

This is, after all, how Socialism works. It’s very easy to be generous with money that isn’t yours.

From The Daily Wire:

With a little over a month away until she takes office, the newly-elected New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced she will be paying her interns $15 per hour in an effort to “walk the walk.”

“Time to walk the walk,” the newly-minted congresswoman said on Twitter. “Very few members of Congress actually pay their interns. We will be one of them.”

Time to walk the walk.

Very few members of Congress actually pay their interns. We will be one of them. https://t.co/BuKCDSai0K

Here was the response from Twitter:

We need a list of those who don’t. #SlaveLabor

BTW – they CHOSE to apply for internships – no one forces them! #thinkonyourown

As an intern for a Michigan Congressional member, I did not get paid.

Unpaid internships need to end!

Answer: children of rich or well-connected parents who don’t need the money.

It’s one of many ways that career-growth opportunities are shut off to the non-rich.

One of my HS exchange students studied women’s issues at her university. Amnesty International had an intern position in Portland. They wanted 40-80 hours/week. Unpaid. No stipend, no travel. She had to pass on the opportunity of a lifetime because her family isnt rich enough

I just hear excuses. Some people like to complain about how life is, others accept it and use it as motivation to succeed. Not everyone has the same path, but the opportunities for success are there if you are willing to put the extra effort

@Ocasio2018 is outing politicians without even trying.
Paying her interns $15 per hour puts a spotlight on Congressmen who pay zero.
Unpaid labor is slavery.

Make no mistake about it, folks. This woman is a threat. She gathers followers. They love her, because she promises to give them stuff for free.

But all of us need to take her Communism very seriously.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER.

Here’s why…

From The Federalist:

Earlier this week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put up a tweet so mind-numbingly stupid that simply calling it “factually incorrect” would be an insult to the word “incorrect.” As is to be expected in the social media world, folks on the right ripped the incoming congresswoman to shreds for it.

$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”

$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.

That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.

And that’s before our premiums. https://t.co/soT6GSmDSG

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) December 2, 2018

Here were some of the typical responses: “This is factually incorrect!” “We cannot have someone this stupid in the government!” “This is what happens when we elect someone with no experience.” “Sure, this message is popular. Too bad it’s all wrong.” …

Yes, the tweet was incorrect. Yes, it would be nice if the people in our government had some actual knowledge about the things they talk about. Still, it is critical for folks on the right to avoid the mistakes made by the left. We must learn from how they treated (and treat) President Trump and endeavor not to make the same mistakes.

Do not underestimate this woman, and do not think your savage mockery of her stupidity will be an effective tool to stop her. It won’t. It will instead be personalized by her supporters, creating an army that will lay down and die for her (or at least vote for her), just like the army Trump has. You should be afraid of Ocasio-Cortez. Be much more afraid than you are. …

And now is the age of social media. This is the age where a tidal wave of support can and does come from anywhere. Social media allows candidates for office to let the public see them with their blemishes. With a push of a button, you can watch Ocasio-Cortez make instant mac and cheese like a college freshman. She’s pretty. She’s young enough to understand and take advantage of this current political world. Most importantly, her naiveté about the things of government make her more appealing to the common man, not less.

Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist. Socialism is just communism dressed up in high heels and lipstick. It is a tremendous evil and a scourge upon the face of the planet. It has killed far more people than Nazism, racism, or any of the other isms combined, and America is not as far from it as you might think. …
