I know she has fans and detractors, but I think AOC effing RULES. Check out this exchange with Fox "News."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lit up a Fox News producer to his face on Wednesday, who implored her to appear on the show of far-right pundit Jesse Watters.

"Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show," said the producer.

*****

"He has sexualized me on his show, he has sexually harassed me on his show," replied Ocasio-Cortez by way of answer. "He has engaged in horrific sexually exploitative rhetoric."

The producer protested, saying, "That's not true."

"It is true, because he accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller," shot back Ocasio-Cortez. "So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman?"

Then he had the gall to invite her back on his show? What decade am I living in?

She came to Plattsburgh, NY because Elise Stefanik could not be bothered.

People stood out in the rain in long lines in hopes of seeing her speak.
I was lucky enough to get into the venue..
She went outside in the rain and spoke to the people waiting.

She was an incredible speaker.
It says a lot about her that she spoke in the rain.

And, like I said in the O/P, genuine people tend to have fans and detractors. I've never seen her veer from her authentic self.

and thought she was a flavor of the month who wouldn't offer anything really substantive to congress. God dam was I wrong! She's always so prepared and well-researched in hearings, so ready to combat wingnut lies, and willing to take the RW propaganda to the woodshed when they're brave enough to confront her.

I'm neither a fan or detractor. Rather, I've been an AOC supporter since she announced she would primary Crowley.
