Finally someone has asked the question about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that's prominent on millions of minds: "Why are we paying attention to this woman?"
AOC's Tweet tsunami gets crazier by day, but the media dump her Tweets on the masses as though they're manna from above. In her latest, she calls out millionaires as "narcissistic" with "psychopathic tendencies", in spite of being hatched by self-admitted millionaire Bernie Sanders.
"Karl Rove, a former White House chief of staff, said the freshman Democrat'sTweets may paint a picture of what's happening in her own life. "But Rove said calling living millionaires narcissistic and crazy raises questions. "Every one of those billionaires we ought to lock them up, take away their money and give it to deserving people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her campaign manager who... now have two campaign finance complaints filed against them for a scheme that looks to me like... it borders on illegality," he said during an appearance on FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria" on Tuesday. "Maybe those same terms that she threw out at the billionaires apply to her too--I don't know who cares? Why are we paying attention to this woman?" he asked.
"Ocasio-Cortez on Monday, responded to a Twitter post by CNBC Make It, entitled '1 in 5 business leaders may have psychopathic tendencies--here's why, according to a psychology professor', by saying that psychopathy has made a "tiny handful" of billionaires. "Justifying psychopathy because low empathy, narcissism, dishonesty + lack of deep emotional attachments are traits that have made a tiny handful of people billionaires (yet land many more people in prison while not getting adequate mental healthcare) is very 2019," she tweeted."AOC, media-hyped click bait and Fake News, is the illegitimate brainchild of millionaire Socialist Bernie Sanders, a millionaire who will not be sharing his booty with anyone else. As the Midterm elected representative of New York District 14, AOC is completely bogus.
"Soon after Election Day 2016, when 'progressives' in both public office and media were crying themselves a river over the surprise election of Donald Trump as America's 45th, Ocasio-Cortez's younger brother, Gabriel, sent her name to Brand New Congress (BNC), a Bernie Sanders-inspired group recruiting candidates for the House and Senate. "When she got home from her North Dakota trip, a leader of BNC called her out of the blue with an ask: Will you run for US Congress in New York's 14th district? (The Insider, Jan. 6, 2019)

"BNC cofounder Saikat Chakrabarti said the group wasn't looking for anyone to challenge the district's 10-term Democratic incumbent when they reached out to the 27-year-old. "But after a few calls and a meeting with Ocasio-Cortez, Chakrabarti thought, "Holy crap: You're an incredible candidate." "It took a few months of convincing, but Ocasio-Cortez, still moved by what she saw at Standing Rock (ND), said yes. "The congressional campaign began with a handful of volunteers, living-room stump speeches, and a coalition of local progressive support. "They proposed big ideas: a universal jobs guarantee, abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, and tuition-free public college. "Justice Democrats, another Sanders-inspired group that Chakrabarti founded, gave Ocasio-Cortez media and policy training. Volunteers led an aggressive canvassing operation."
