Sarah Palin (Yes, That Sarah Palin) Mocks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for 'Fumbling Basic Civics'

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, whose famous gaffes include claiming the vice president is “in charge” of the Senate and alleging the White House has a “Department of Law,” mocked New York Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for accidentally describing America’s three branches of government as “chambers.”

Palin’s tweet included a link to a blog post on her site — which is still named governorpalin[dot]org — detailing Ocasio-Cortez’s mistake.

In the clip of her Instagram live feed, Ocasio-Cortez can be seen saying: “If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — Uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House..”

The video has since gone viral, as many conservatives pouncing on it to fuel their crusade against the Democratic socialist and soon-to-be lawmaker.

In response, Ocasio-Cortez requested that Republicans stop “drooling over every minute of footage of me in slow-mo,” and instead “actually step up enough to make the argument they want to make: that they don’t believe people deserve a right to healthcare.”

2. You Forgot "Quitter"

Things get hot, run! That's her contribution to civics!

Get elected, get bored or get in over her head, and run away.

She's so 2008. She needs to go away for ever.

3. Palin "Also too" thinks she has a monopoly on fumbling.

4. Palin is a living cautionary tale.

She is what can happen to anyone who constantly seeks publicity without substance. Near the end of her run Palin’s only substance was most likely chemical in nature.

10. Last Person

If what was said in Game Change and showed in the movie, Sarah Palin is the last person who should be mocking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for making mistakes concerning the government. From what I took from Game Change, Sarah Palin lacked even a high school level of knowledge of the U.S. government. This was the woman who was going to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

Ocasio-Cortez is only a member of the House of Representative. There is very little chance she will be called upon to run the country. She has time to learn the things she does not know.

In addition, Ocasio-Cortez's supposed mistake was not that big of a deal. So, she misspoke about the three branches of government. I assume she actually know the three branches of government. I also assume she was trying to make the point that Democrats could gain control of all the levels of national government.

She is just worried someone else is going to steal her only claim to political relevancy..... Being a complete idiot regarding government... And most other things as well.

15. Ok so perhaps some misunderstanding....

I wasn't intending to say that AOC is a complete idiot.....

I am saying that no matter how small a misstep someone might make Palin is there to defend her crown.

16. Alexandria,

Consider the source. She's dumber than a box of rocks.
