GOP compares Ocasio-Cortez to Trump

A political neophyte from New York has an enormous Twitter following, punches back hard at the press, takes on critics within the party and has completely upended the Washington establishment.

No, it's not Donald Trump. It's Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the self-described democratic socialist whose sharp tongue, take-no-prisoners approach and 24/7 presence on social media and TV has Republicans on and off Capitol Hill comparing the 29-year-old freshman phenom to the 72-year-old president of the United States.

Talk-show host Meghan McCain called Trump and Ocasio-Cortez “two sides of the same coin” and said the liberal, Latina bomb thrower from the Bronx was “just like Trump on Twitter.”

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he, too, sees obvious parallels between DJT and AOC.

But yep - in what I read above - she's sounding bratty.

And for the record - AOC doesn't run around joking about grabbing a man's junk or make fun of people with disabilities or lie and cheat and a whole lot of other things.

She's nothing like that sick twisted fuck in the white house.

...right after I listened to that Access Hollywood hot mic tape of her talking about how she just grabs guys by the privates any time she wants, and they love it because you can do anything when you're a waitress.

Yeah...they're the same.



They are such asshats. I love that their weakness in dealing with strong women is now on display 24/7. Pelosi, AOC, Waters, Pressley, Tlaib, Speers...these guys are going to chew up more than a few republicans who have been scamming the systems for years. can't wait.
