Is it just me, or has Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) been extremely quiet of late? Perhaps it’s due to everyone’s preoccupation with Russia, Ukraine, and the prospects for World War III. Or maybe it’s because folks have been too busy figuring out how they’re going pay their grocery bills and fill up their gas tanks to pay attention to AOC. Or, it could be possible – unlikely, but possible – that AOC has simply been less prolific at saying stupid stuff. Regardless of the reason, the wait is over.

“If I went on television and presented an argument with that many holes in it, I’d have been pilloried. You know. I’d be like, the only like, rough gauge, like the pressure from the media, the headlines, embarrassing me. It’d have been like the next level.”
This notion is truly laughable. First, there have been few politicians in modern American history who have made more assertions with “holes” in them (continued)
