Conway says Ocasio-Cortez is '29-year-old who doesn't seem to know much about anything'

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway mocked Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, calling her a "29-year-old congresswoman who doesn't seem to know much about anything."

Conway's criticism came during an interview on "America's Newsroom" about possible successors to White House chief of staff John Kelly. Conway criticized Ocasio-Cortez for describing Kelly as a liar.

"[Kelly] is in his fifth decade of public service, and this country owes him a debt of gratitude, not the nonsense that has been spewed about him recently from the left, and from this 29-year-old congresswoman who doesn't seem to know much about anything when you ask her basic concepts about the economy, or the Middle East, or military funding," Conway told anchor Bill Hemmer.

"[It's] really embarrassing. And for her to even use a slur against him yesterday — I won’t repeat her name or the slur," Conway said.

At alienating Minorities, Women, and now Youth. Just keep digging Kellyanne, you're doing a heck of a job.

5. "I was shocked to learn she had never even heard of the Bowling Green Massacre!"

‘Bowling Green massacre’ wasn’t a slip of the tongue
Kellyanne Conway ... said she simply meant to say “Bowling Green terrorists,” and she later said, “I misspoke one word.” Except .. she seems to have believed that the Bowling Green massacre was a real thing ... Because she cited the same nonexistent attack in separate interviews with two other outlets — Cosmopolitan magazine and TMZ ... Conway cited it three times ...

What her husband thinks. She’s the one who seems to know little about anything. And the poor guy has to correct her and her dip shit bss all the time. I wouldn’t want to be that guy.

Sure, Ocasio would often do better to consult with wiser people before speaking, but it's not her mistakes that have the Republicans worried, rather that some conservative populists are listening to her.

That's for sure. The more populist, idealist concepts coming from the left are more attractive and more convincing.

That puts some fear into Conway and her ilk.
