Conservatives' Demented Obsession With Ocasio-Cortez Is Disgusting And Needs To Stop
There's a swarming of conservative sexist creeps deciding they have something clever to say about the new member of Congress. It's not clever or professional. An editorial by John Amato.

It's time for the conservative movement, Fox News and their other right-wing acolytes to stop attacking and vilifying a young woman who has yet to be sworn into Congress.
The conservative playbook has always been to demonize progressive candidates so much that their wingnut base winds up supporting a pedophile over a Democrat.
I know conservatives recoil at the prospect that the American people want our federal and local governments to actually function. Any politician who puts forth an idea that government might actually work? Scares the daylights out of them.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is a tough cookie and not easily shaken. She is also now the congresswoman-elect to my hometown.
The attacks on Ocasio-Cortez are over the top. It's disgusting and it needs to stop.

she's not the salt of the earth and she said she was! don't trust this evil woman! 
if she wasn't a threat they wouldn't be turning her into Emmanuel Goldstein. pre-emptive ad hominem attacks for when she's old enough to run for President - in 6 years.
