Fox "news" apparently has a replacement for their Hillary punching bag

I have a desk job and maybe once a day I drop in on fox "news" website to see the alternate universe. Its always an interesting 15 seconds to see what THEY consider news and the big story. Of course its NEVER what the rest of the normal universe it talking about.

What I have noticed lately is this, man...ever since she was elected its Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "news" almost 24/7 over there with those clowns. Every other headline is corny stupid headline text and of course, unflattering photos...always an angry AOC picture pointing and appearing to yell.

Beating the drum. Beat the drum.

She is way smarter than all of the Fox New idiots combined.

She can wear it as a badge of honor. Maybe it relieves some of the misogynist hate off the Harrises, Warrens, and Klobuchars for a bit.

And some of the other first term reps, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, are nightmares for/to them. I'm hoping Katie Porter rattles their caves too.

Twitterverse has tons of bots about those 3 in particular.

the right and left. But they do love to verbally abuse AOC's intelligence and physical appearance tho and she looks and acts far better than many of the females on the right.

I frequent sports sites every day, occupied by raging right wingers. Late in 2028 the Hillary threads started being replaced by Ocasio-Cortez threads. It was like a switch had been thrown. I didn't need to guess where it was coming from.

Letsrun.com message board is the best way for me to gauge that type of thing. There is an ongoing Trump thread that is literally thousands of pages long and most of the political talk is in there. But every day some of the scared right wingers feel compelled to start auxiliary threads promoting their fear, and hatred of anything liberal. For example, there's also an ongoing Smollett thread and today a Democratic Socialism thread. Good barometer of what that side is thinking, without having to venture or watch. Ocasio-Cortez is attacked and mocked all the time. I'm sure there will be a new thread devoted to her within a day or two.
