Oh my God! She's much more - what's the word - stupid? I guess Ignorant would describe her better. She's much more Ignorant than I thought!

I actually feel sorry for her, that's she's so embarrassing, she's humiliating herself, and she doesn't know that she's a fool! That's the word - She's a Fool!

This is cringeworthy! I do feel sorry for her. Everyone there must have thought: "Oh my God, what an idiot!"

Alexandria Ocasio-cortez gets humiliated in Congress for asking dumb questions

[www.youtube.com]

She starts off with, "Let's play a game...let's play a lightning round. I'm going to be a bad guy, which I'm sure everyone would agree with anyway, and I'm going to get away with as much bad things as possible..." Just wow!

It feels like she's a highschooler playing at interrogation. She's just spouting off the lib rhetoric. I think they're all in shock.

In the end she gets school by a real intellectual. She is so in over her head!

Read the comments. Everyone knows she's a fool!

The thing is - she's going on and on like she thinks she's some sort of great politician, when she's just a stupid idiot!

And she doesn't go to bed at night feeling completely embarrassed! She's not smart enough to know what a fool she is. I guess that's the definition of a Fool...

So after showing her ignorance and silliness in the above cringeworthy interrogation, AOC was 'corrected' here -

IFS Chairman Brad Smith Corrects AOC on Campaign Finance Law (Video)

[www.ifs.org]

At a February 6, 2019, House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on H.R. 1, IFS Chairman Bradley A. Smith was asked by Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) to correct the record on a line of misleading questioning by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on current U.S. campaign finance laws. In the following clip, Brad clarifies the state of current law and explains some of the problems with the questions that were presented by Representative Ocasio-Cortez.

A copy of Brad’s written testimony to the House Oversight and Reform Committee on a number of issues with H.R. 1 can be accessed here:

This article explains exactly how AOC's embarrassed herself at the House Oversight Committee with her ignorance and stupid-assity

And how the Lib Fake Media is carrying water for AOC -

AOC Doesn’t Let the Facts Get in the Way of a Good Story

[www.ifs.org]

The press and self-styled “reformers” alike are heralding Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her remarks during yesterday’s House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on H.R. 1. Common Cause tweeted that “@AOC exposes just how much ‘bad guys’ can get away with under the shameful state of our campaign finance laws.” Roll Call credited Ocasio-Cortez for turning the hearing on its head by saying that “dark money was ‘shaping’ questions about [the] reform bill.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s storytelling may have been persuasive to the uninformed. But it was also wrong.

Presenting herself as the hypothetical “bad guy” trying to destroy democracy, Ocasio-Cortez spun a tale about how she could (among other things) “use my special interest, dark money-funded campaign to pay off folks that I need to pay off to get elected.”

This dystopic vision of how campaigns work in America bears little semblance to reality. Let’s work backward:

1) You cannot use campaign funds for non-campaign related expenses. That includes “paying off folks.” Here, Ocasio-Cortez appears to be referencing the Stormy Daniels scandal and the “greenlight for hush money” she claims it represents. But she has the argument exactly backwards. Those who believe Trump committed a campaign violation think that the hush money needed to be paid with campaign expenses, and that Trump’s failure to do so was the problem. As IFS Chairman Bradley A. Smith previously argued, IFS believes the opposite is true. The crime would be if you did “pay off folks” with campaign money. The real “folks you need to pay off to get elected” are voters, and it turns out they cannot be bought. As we have written about over and over again, money doesn’t buy elections. Ocasio-Cortez should know this better than most!

2) “Dark-money funded campaigns” are not a thing. The source of all donations to candidates over $200 are fully disclosed to the FEC, which then publishes that information online for the world to see. “Dark money” refers to spending from nonprofit groups making expenditures independently of any candidate to voice their support or opposition to candidates and their policies. These groups cannot give money to candidates, so it’s impossible for any candidate to run a “dark-money funded campaign.” These groups are limited in how much they can spend on such campaign speech. Additionally, many groups that Representative Ocasio-Cortez slanders with the “dark money” label are not nefarious or secretive organizations, but respected civic groups with a long history of involvement in public affairs. These groups include nonprofits like the ACLU, NAACP, and Planned Parenthood – hardly voices that should be silenced in debates surrounding elections.

3) “Special interest” money does not dominate campaign coffers, even of the candidates you don’t like. This ties in to Ocasio-Cortez’s earlier assertion that a campaign could be entirely funded by corporate PAC donations. That’s true in the abstract – there’s nothing in the law to stop a candidate from trying – but completely divorced from the reality of how campaigns are funded. Notably, Ocasio-Cortez did not name any examples of this sort of campaign, because there aren’t any. In reality, all congressional campaigns are predominantly funded by individual donors, not corporate PACs. This is one reason why anti-corporate PAC pledges are widely seen by those who are familiar with the system as grandstanding. Even ignoring this reality, corporate PACs have a contribution limit of $5,000 to any campaign, so a candidate looking to fund their effort solely with PAC funds would have to find a remarkably broad coalition of so-called special interests to fund their campaign. Finally, corporate PACs are funded exclusively with donations from employees, executives, and board members of the company, whose contributions to the PAC are limited and publicly disclosed.

Ocasio-Cortez, like most politicians, is a Manichaean. There are the good guys and the bad guys; the goal is to stop the bad guys and help the good guys. If someone disagrees with you about a bill or policy, the only reason must be that they are the bad guy, or at least paid for by the bad guys. It also must mean that your bill will hurt those bad guys! That’s why they’re opposing it, and that confirms that the bill is good!

The world doesn’t work that way. Opponents of H.R. 1 are not bought by the fossil fuel industry, or big pharma, or some other nonsense. There are many legitimate gripes with how this 570-page monstrosity of a bill hurts the fundamental First Amendment rights of all Americans. Ocasio-Cortez and supporters of the bill may think that those costs are outweighed by the benefits, or that it is more important to cast the symbolic anti-corruption vote than to deal with the policy ramifications of their proposal.

But they should at least learn how the system actually works now before they become so certain of how to fix it.

******

Yeah, the minute I saw the video (above) of AOC at the House Oversight Committee hearing I knew she was spouting BS and she didn't have a clue what she was talking about. So cringeworthy...

I like her.

OMG again! AOC's stupidity is astounding!

She accused the Wells Fargo CEO of being responsible for 'caging children'!

What a Twit!

She doesn't know enough to realize what an a*s she makes of herself all the time what a laughingstock she is!

Spouting off Lib Narrative/Lies at a Financial Committee Hearing - 'caging children'! Duh, Obama's the one who 'caged children'!

WATCH: Ocasio-Cortez Clowns Herself While Trying To Grill Wells Fargo CEO

[www.redstate.com]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is trying very hard to be a firebrand within the House Financial Services Committee led by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif), but in the end, comes off as an ill-informed try-hard that resorts to clownish behavior in order to look tough.

AOC put Sloan in the hot seat over…ICE and environmentalism…for some reason. AOC began by accusing Wells Fargo of caging children, an accusation to which Sloan was awfully confused about.

“Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.

“I don’t know how to answer that question because we weren’t,” Sloan said simply.

Our favorite democratic socialist then moved on to trying to nail Wells Fargo with environmental damages from oil pipelines. This also confused Sloan, seeing as how there have been no damages due to leaks from pipelines. This forced Ocasio-Cortez to ask him if Wells Fargo should be responsible if it happened “hypothetically.”

“Should Wells Fargo be held responsible for the damages incurred by Climate Change due to the financing of fossil fuels and these projects?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.

“I don’t know how’d you calculate that, Congresswoman,” Sloan responded.

“Say from spills, or when we have to reinvest in infrastructure building sea walls from the erosion of, um, from the erosion of infrastructure or cleanups, wildfires, etc…,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“Related to that pipeline?” Sloan replied. “I’m not aware that there’s been any of what you’ve described that’s occurred that’s related to that pipeline.”

“How about, uh, the cleans up from the leaks of the Dakota Access pipeline?” said Ocasio-Cortez.

“I’m not aware of the leaks associated with the Dakota Access pipeline that you’re describing,” Sloan responded.

“So, hypothetically, if there was a leak from the Dakota Access pipeline, why shouldn’t Wells Fargo pay for the clean up of it since it paid for the construction of the pipeline itself?”

Sloan, once again, had a simple answer.

“Because we don’t operate the pipeline, we provide financing to the company that’s operating the pipeline,” he said.

I’m sure this was supposed to be a big “gotcha” moment for Ocasio-Cortez for Facebook clip makers like Now This to go gaga over — they still may — but this moment comes off as the freshman Democrat trying far too intensely to look like a David standing up to a corporate Goliath.

At best, her questions were cringe-worthy.

***************

"So hypothetically" Lol! It's like a 12-year old came to work with daddy. There may not be a dumber member of Congress in the history of the USA!

Funny Comments making fun of/ridiculing AOC -

From LouderWithCrowder -

Imagine going to my home lender asking them to pay for dog poo on my home’s floor. Imagine me running to my bank to pay for the damage my car may endure after I pin a rubbernecker into a divider. Imagine going to a credit card company demanding they pay for a television after I get fat from sitting on my couch as I laugh at AOC defying the levels of stupidity. Imagine me suing AOC for breaking all my ribs.

Congratulations, New York. You elected yourself a grade-A dumbass. Proud of yourselves?

lol - Maybe we should hold the university that ‘educated’ her responsible for the idiotic questions she asks.

I wonder who financed the caging of children when Obama was in office?

It’s like blaming the bank that signed the car loan for the drunk driver running a red light and crashing into a minivan.

So, hypothetically, Congresswoman, can we hold the person who gave you a brain financially responsible because you have no clue how to use it?

Is she for real ???

If climate change causes a tornado that bursts the pipes open, I will hold you responsible

Way to go cortex! Keep bashing thy skull against the wall.

Hypothetically if you provide a loan for me to buy cows and they begin farting, I will hold YOU RESPONSIBLE!

Hypotheticals are not good questions for fact finding and should not be used in a congressional setting.

I think she gets so much attention because she says such stupid things and it's shocking someone in Congress would be so clueless!

I mean are you stupid? A bank is not liable for unforeseen circumstances caused by those they lend to. If there is an oil spill the oil company is already fined a large some and has to pay to clean it up.

Shes trying to pin every responsibility onto the banks and bankrupt them . Remember she doesn't want any private banking and wants to incorporate a government centered commie banking system. She maybe an idiot but theres a lot of idiots supporting her. This idiot is especially dangerous because she has power now.

Agree grade A dumbass. Hypothetically the sun might explode . Hypothetically rain might stop. What an idiot.

***********

So according to AOC -

We are supposed to testify, under oath, to hypothetical questions now?

And if a bank lends money for someone to buy a car and they kill someone, the bank is responsible?

Like a dumb bartender gets the dry cleaning bill for a spilled beer. The same thing.

Suing the bank for a leak is like suing them because a driver of a car loan had a DUI.

**********************

Deep thoughts from AOC:

Should the bank who holds your mortgage be responsible for cleaning your kitchen after a grease fire?

Why in the hell are we paying to educate AOC as she learns (at a snails pace) on the job? She’s making $175K while she attends fantasy camp.

Hypothetically, if you moved campaign funds to an LLC to be redistributed against FEC rules, your donors should be responsible?

Budweiser is to blame for drunk driving, also

And cutlery companies for stabbings!

*********

Thanks to AOC I am now enlightened on how I supported caging children since I invested in a mining company and some of the minerals mined were used to make fencing used by ICE.

The 7 degrees of idiocy game. Guilt by the merest association. Let's charge people who own gasoline stations with causing automobile accidents. I think people who feed birds endanger aircraft.

Sorry you're so unhappy about this woman Jennifer, who only has opinions that differ from yours. It's unfortunate. We're supposed to express our different opinions, because we're supposed to be living in a democracy. But we don't have to hate each other.

I have.
