Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Insanity, Part 7: Prioritizing Illegals Before Citizens, Exhibiting Her A.D.D. and More

Over the past few months, New York City Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has established herself as a human gaffe machine. Her inability to do simple math, her outlandish ideas based on an alternative reality, her economic ignorance, and lack of common sense has resulted in an almost daily stream of idiocy, inane comments, and ridiculous ideas that have no basis in reality.

As a result, most of our recent political class insanity posts have almost always had an Ocasio-Cortez piece of insanity. Thus, we have decided to separately track her craziness and idiotic takes on economics, business, government, and whatever else on a regular basis under its own set of posts. She deserves to have a separate effort that captures all of the ridiculousness she espouses.

The original format we were going to use was to start with a set of her original inane ideas and just continue to build on that initial list as time goes by. But after just three summaries of her idiocy and stupid ideas it has become obvious that we cannot continually add to the existing set of ineptness, that list would get too large too quickly.

Thus, each new Ocasio-Cortez post will have only the latest gaffes out of her mouth. To review her previous idiocies just enter her last name in the search box above. The latest post can be accessed at:

Let’s get started:

1) It is becoming more and more obvious to anyone who listens to Washington liberals these days that these politicians are more interested in helping illegal immigrants than taking care of needy Americans.These Democrats see illegal immigrants as future voters who are most likely to vote Democrat and advance their agenda at the cost of the needs and desires of legitimate American citizens.

No one illustrates this sick take on priorities than Ocasio-Cortez and she is not ashamed to blatantly state that illegal immigrants are more important to her than legal, real American citizens:

  • In a recent Congressional hearing in front of a House committee, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was discussing the upcoming Census.
  • He and Trump want to have a question on the Census form that requires anyone filling out the form to state whether or not they are a legal American citizen.
  • Sounds logical, the Census is supposed to count the number of citizens living everywhere in the country, it is not supposed to count illegal immigrants as citizens and the responses of illegal immigrants should not be used to establish Congressional representation, a main function of the Census.
  • Of course, Ocasio-Cortez does not see it that way since she, as always, she cares more about illegal immigrants than her own legal citizens and the proper execution of the Constitution. 
  • Specifically, “Mr. [Senator] Kobach later emailed to you on July 14 writing that the lack of the citizenship question ‘leads to the problem that aliens who do not actually reside in the United States are still counted for congressional apportionment services. Of course they do reside in the United States. They reside in my district. They’re my constituents.”

So ignorant, so wrong. No Congresswoman, they are not your constituents. Your constituents are American citizens who were born here or who came here and followed the rules to become citizens. She needs to take a civics class to understand who are criminals, who can and cannot vote, and how the Constitution is structured to guarantee the rights and freedom of real citizens, not illegal and thus, criminal immigrants. 

2) Many times she seems to exhibit ADD symptoms, veering aimlessly from point to point or not being able to stay on topic. It is tough to say whether she has a focus problem or so wants to make another point, unrelated to the current discussion, that she jumps to another topic altogether, and most of the time totally misunderstanding either the topic at hand to the topic she jumps to.

Combining this lack of focus with her tendency to make up number and realities, is really comical and sad in that she is actually a member of Congress:

  • Former Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan was recently in front of Congress, trying to explain how his company,Wells Fargo,had screwed up so badly in any number of different areas regarding banking topics.
  • Certainly a legit topic for Congress to investigate given that Wells Fargo had gone wild in signing up its customers for services and products these customers did not want it did not know that Wells Fargo employees had enrolled them into without their knowledge.
  • But out of nowhere,on a totally unrelated topic, a topic that turned out to be a non-reality, Ocasio-Cortes accuses Sloan of financing companies that make cages to house illegal immigrant children: "Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?" Ocasio-Cortez asked, in a reference to Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy, which resulted in separations of adults suspected of criminal activity from the minors who accompanied them (even though Democrat Barack Obama had done the same thing).
  • She continued to ramble on this unrelated topic that was not on the committee's agenda: "You were financing, involved in debt financing in CoreCivic and GEO Group, correct?"
  • But she was wrong since in a public statement, CoreCivic said her assertions were dead wrong: "We don’t provide housing for any children who aren’t under the supervision of a parent," the spokesperson said. "We also don’t operate shelters for unaccompanied minors, nor do we operate border patrol facilities. Any assertions to the contrary are patently false and misinformed."
  • Geo Group was even more brutal in their rebuttal of her false claims: "This is a deliberate lie driven by an agenda aimed at abolishing ICE, knowing that we have nothing to do with passing, setting, or advocating for or against immigration laws or policies. Our company has never managed facilities that house unaccompanied minors, and we have played no role with policies related to the separation of families. In fact, our Karnes Family Residential Center allows for families to be cared for together and was established by the Obama Administration in 2014. The contractual services we provide for ICE today are no different than the services we provided for eight years under the Obama Administration.”
  • Sloan himself denied her accusations.
  • But not content to make a fool out of herself on the cage idiocy and falsehood, she went on to blame the bank for climate change saying the bank was "responsible for the damages incurred by climate change" because of its financing of fossil fuel companies, such as reinvestment costs.
It is really tough to take her seriously. She throws out statements that she claims are facts that are wrong. She cannot stay on topic, just going off topic to pontificate on other nonsense that she usually gets wrong. So sad that she actually votes on legislation, legislation that she probably doesn't understand or care to understand given her scatterbrained performance to the press and in Congressional hearings.

3) Following up on the ADD theory, sometimes she really needs to follow an old adage: “Better to remain silent and thought ignorant than to speak up and remove all doubt.” She would look so much smarter if she would just not talk. More importantly, not talk at the wrong time and saying the wrong thing.

Unfortunately, there was a recent mass shooting in New Zealand where many Muslims were killed by a deranged person while at their mosques:

  • It was a horrible, horrible incident that makes you shake your head. 
  • Many people expressed their sincere remorse and sent hopes and prayers to the families who lost loved ones and the survivors.
  • There is absolutely nothing wrong with providing emotional support to those in need at a difficult time in their lives, it is the decent, humane thing to do.
  • Unless you are Ocasio-Cortez who could not let it go and decided to interject her political views into this delicate situation in a gross and self serving way.
  • She tweeted out the following tweet while the hurt and anguish was still fresh:” At 1st I thought of saying, “Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t safe anymore. But I couldn’t say “imagine.” Because of Charleston. Pittsburgh. Sutherland Springs. What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?”
  • Again, please shut up, if you have no human decency to keep your political aims quiet during this time than you do not deserve to hold any kind of leadership role.
  • While she thought giving thoughts, prayers and support to these folks was useless many others around the world disagreed with her:
  • Dana Loesch of the NRA: “Pretty sure thoughts and prayers isn’t anyone’s phrase, and prayer especially (which you mocked earlier after what happened in a house of prayer?) is a real action, a petition to, a conversation with, God — in this case, to request protection, comfort for those suffering.”
  • Tim Young: “If one of your first 1000 thoughts after a horrific mass shooting is to go dunk on a person, a religious belief or an organization on Twitter, you should delete your account.”
  • Queen Elizabeth issued a statement saying that her “thoughts and prayers are with all New Zealanders.”
  • The Pakistan prime minister said that “prayers go to the victims and their families.”
  • A senior Pakistan official, Saeb Erekat, offered his “prayers and tears” for those affected.
  • The foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates said his “thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims.”
So a lot of more important, smarter, and more worldly people knew to offer support to other humans when that is what is needed. Ocasio-Cortez is not nearly as important, not nearly as smart, and not nearly as compassionate as these folks. 

Again, Congresswoman, better to remain silent and thought ignorant than to speak up and remove doubt. Whether that is jumping into a mourning world, not understanding the simple definition of the unemployment rate, not knowing what the three branches of our government are, not understanding a simple Pentagon audit report, etc., etc just keep quiet.

Unfortunately she doesn't know how to remain silent and that provides fresh idiocy, insanity, and fodder for this theme in this blog. All of which reminds us how broken our election processes have become if this type of person actually gets to vote on Federal legislation.
