Has any politician ever encapsulated the “rules for thee but not for me” mindset more than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? For my money, she’s truly the GOAT. She is the only one who can mix faux anger with hypocrisy like she does. The fact she has an army supporting her makes it even more absurd.
The latest example happened on Wednesday, after a comedian approached AOC on the Capitol steps, making jokes about her being his “favorite big booty Latina” and calling her “sexy.” She responded in the video by posing and giving him a peace sign, seeming to enjoy the attention.
Apparently, after the fact, someone on her staff let her know the comedian was an “extremist,” though. AOC quickly changed her tone and took to social media to make it clear that such public harassment was unacceptable.
The incident was captured on video by him. I was actually walking over to deck him because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it myself but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today pic.twitter.com/RdwCNBDIBb

It is amazing to see the sheer volume of cringe. AOC was born to a family of well-off people. Yorktown High School is where AOC was educated. The school is located in New York, which is 90% white. Then she went on to Boston University. This thing she does where she tries to make it seem as if she’s straight off the streets of Queens is just hilarious. And I’m pretty sure she wasn’t headed over to “deck him” given she posed and gave the peace sign. AOC is always willing to do anything for her fans, but they will never stop trying to please.
I actually didn’t see the original tweet she deleted, but I’m seeing replies saying she lied about what the comedian said, moving to cover her tracks once he posted the video. However, I find it a bit strange that a Congresswoman would threaten physical violence to anyone who says things about her in public. That’s especially true given he’s obviously trolling her to get the specific reaction she gave him online.
This brings me to my biggest concern. AOC made fun of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s harassment and ran him from a DC restaurant just days before.
These protests are beyond my comprehension. Republicans are known for sending people to my protests, some drunken and sometimes belligerent.
Nobody cares about it unless it’s a Republican in a restaurant. Can someone please explain the obsession because I don’t get it

To summarize, it’s totally cool for protesters to harass a Supreme Court justice in public, causing him to have to escape out the backdoor of a restaurant. That’s just democracy in action, and AOC is all for that. In fact, she’s so for it that she’ll make fun of anyone who complains about it. If a comedian jokes about her, she will demand that law enforcement arrest him. She is furious that this type of protest is allowed.
What did you do?
Here’s the thing. This is what the left and AOC created. Public harassment of officials was normalized by the left, including AOC because it helped them politically. This didn’t begin with Justice Kavanaugh last week. There are many instances in the past where left-leaning senators Ted Cruz or Rand Paul were supported wholeheartedly. AOC believed she was able to promote it without becoming a victim. She’s learning she thought wrong.
