[bAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez ]would have none of it. She did not allow CNN's Chris Cuomo to define the narrative. She turned the tables on him, and it was clear he had no comeback as he ended the interview.https://egbertowillies.com/2018/08/09/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-torches-cnn-cuomo/

(11,752 posts)Ocasio-Cortez is a woman and a congressional candidate. You can certainly criticize her but don't demean her.

(30,481 posts)Found the video elsewhere and the commercial spam op is not representative of what happened.
Op runs a for profit blog that has worked to normalize Trump on numerous occasions.
The "left" will eat it up.
Example:
Single-payer Medicare for All is Americas only health care option
The current iteration of Trumpcare has failed. But we should remember that Donald Trump has always been an avid supporter of single-payer Medicare for all. In fact, just recently he reiterated that as well. Democrats would do well to be careful. Trump has no core values. He will turn on a dime irrespective of what hes said in the past or the present. He may do that with health care which could guarantee him Democratic support and a second term. We will discuss this today. Egberto Willies

(11,752 posts)I generally like your blog and unlike some of the others who responded, I did not get any kind of virus alert on my computer. The headline to the post on DU and to video however, is very misleading. Ocasio-Cortez did not TORCH Cuomo. Cuomo set up a question, and probably his tone was somewhat patronizing, but it was a legitimate question. Ocasio did not attack Cuomo, she gave a passionate defense of the policies on a moral ground, and she is right. Many people on Public Administration and in the political world often say that your budget policies signal your moral and ethical priorities. Ocasio-Cortez did not necessarily answer the question in a technical manner but she defined the issue with regards to how the Government finds money to give to the wealthy but always balks when providing assistance to the poor and middle class.
This is not an issue of the media v. Ocasio-Cortez. This was an honest question that she happened to answer well.

She's the new messiah.
