Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez torches CNN's Chris Cuomo for slamming Progressive Agenda (VIDEO)

[egbertowillies]

[bAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez ]would have none of it. She did not allow CNN's Chris Cuomo to define the narrative. She turned the tables on him, and it was clear he had no comeback as he ended the interview.

1. I dont think Cuomo slammed her. I think he gave her a set up to

talk about the agenda.

[MineralMan]

3. "Broad?"

[B2G]

5. God I hate that word. nt

[ooky]

9. I didn't hear her say anything I don't agree with.

[Caliman73]

15. Unless there is a sarcasm smiley, your argument is weakened by using sexist terms

Ocasio-Cortez is a woman and a congressional candidate. You can certainly criticize her but don't demean her.

[SkyDancer]

16. "Broad"

Really? Wow.....

[Blue_true]

17. Archaic word that is insulting. You should have done better. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. "Broad"?

[elleng]

6. which she did, well.

[B2G]

4. Sorry, she's not ready for prime time. nt

[MineralMan]

10. Sure she is. And she'll be the House representative for her

district. I'm sure she'll do a great job, and will learn as she goes, too.

[Blue_true]

18. She is young, the young learn with time. nt

[B2G]

21. And in the meantime, she has a national platform. nt

[Blue_true]

23. True, lots of people do stuff on a big stage that age lead them to regret.

One can hope that an older person who is not using her popularity for his or her own purposes gain her ear enough to properly mentor her.

[Thrill]

33. She says some mind boggling things sometimes

[jpak]

7. I clicked on the video and got some virus thing alert

[MineralMan]

11. Always a risk with ad-heavy clickbait blogs.

They don't control what ads show up, and some are infected. That's why I never click on such links.

[Uncle Joe]

8. Well done Alexandria!

Thanks for the thread egbertowillies

[NCTraveler]

12. Clicked on the link and got a virus warning. I don't recall the last time I got one.

Found the video elsewhere and the commercial spam op is not representative of what happened.

Op runs a for profit blog that has worked to normalize Trump on numerous occasions.

The "left" will eat it up.

Example:

Single-payer Medicare for All is America’s only health care option

The current iteration of Trumpcare has failed. But we should remember that Donald Trump has always been an avid supporter of single-payer Medicare for all. In fact, just recently he reiterated that as well. Democrats would do well to be careful. Trump has no core values. He will turn on a dime irrespective of what he’s said in the past or the present. He may do that with health care which could guarantee him Democratic support and a second term. We will discuss this today. Egberto Willies

I am not recommending you click the link.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. +1. The spamming is off the charts these days. n/t

[backtoblue]

29. Thank you. I wish OP would read replies and remove bad link

[LexVegas]

13. Whats your agenda? That link is suspect. nt

[emulatorloo]

14. To get hits on his blog so he can charge more money for ads. Apparently views DU'ers as cash cows.

Ads are quite questionable too, as they bring my computer to its knees. Other folks are getting virus warnings.

[SidDithers]

19. Blog flogging...

Sid

[earthshine]

20. She did great! Just my $0.02. nt

[Caliman73]

22. Title is very misleading.

I generally like your blog and unlike some of the others who responded, I did not get any kind of virus alert on my computer. The headline to the post on DU and to video however, is very misleading. Ocasio-Cortez did not TORCH Cuomo. Cuomo set up a question, and probably his tone was somewhat patronizing, but it was a legitimate question. Ocasio did not attack Cuomo, she gave a passionate defense of the policies on a moral ground, and she is right. Many people on Public Administration and in the political world often say that your budget policies signal your moral and ethical priorities. Ocasio-Cortez did not necessarily answer the question in a technical manner but she defined the issue with regards to how the Government finds money to give to the wealthy but always balks when providing assistance to the poor and middle class.

This is not an issue of the media v. Ocasio-Cortez. This was an honest question that she happened to answer well.

25. Egbert, please note the replies to your link having a virus

Please delete before this is locked or hidden.

[Awsi Dooger]

27. She came across as such a simpleton I clicked away early

We can't have lightweights like that in feature roles on primetime. Cuomo was taking it easy on her. Others will not

[joshcryer]

35. "why aren't we incorporating the cost of all the funeral expenses?"

Yeah, super simplistic populist rhetoric.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

28. I put her in the dumper after that age comment

[YOHABLO]

30. What age comment? Looking but can't find it. Looking at transcript.

[Thekaspervote]

34. Her age comment: the democrats currently in office are too old to understand income disparity

No, she didn’t say it just then, but did the other day. I’ve had it with her! Stop slamming Dems lady!!!

[YOHABLO]

31. I'm sorry but use the word ''torched'' for all I care. She's absolutely 100% correct in her response

[CanSocDem]

32. She's a national treasure.

Bright, charismatic and altruistic. No baggage, no sense of entitlement other than as a human being and a rare grasp of the way things work in the USA.

She's the new messiah.
