“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.” (Canada Free Press, April 8, 2019) “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)Once elected AOC became the leader of the so-called ‘freshman’ who went on to make U.S. Congress a sick joke.“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.”
Heartbroken to hear of the San Diego synagogue shooting, particularly so on this final day of Passover.

“The alleged shooter behind Saturday's attack, identified as John Earnest, age 19, opened fire on members of the synagogue with a rifle on Saturday morning, striking Lori Gilbert-Kaye, 60, who died later in a hospital, and injuring three others, including an 8-year-old girl.

“It should be noted her two fellow Justice Democrats pawns, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, were slightly less political in their responses. Considering the targets were Jews, it behooves the trio to lean on their non-Muslim member to do the politicizing for them. (NoQReport, April 27, 2019)The New York Times has been talking of late about AOC’s supposed “sex appeal” and hinting that it started with Fox News. What AOC really has is HEX appeal because ever since her election, she’s been out there hexing America. Her Green New Deal is a hex, as is the way she chased Amazon out of Dodge. The poison ivy roots of Bernie Sanders, who used the resources of America for his entire political career, run deep. He’s morphed into ‘Jack’ in the song, ‘Hit the Road Jack’. The nation’s long-suffering patriots should tell him, “Hit the Road, Bernie, take AOC with you, “and don’t you come back no more”.
