Newly sworn-in Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has high-hopes for her ‘Green New Deal’ project; directly comparing her “radical” program with similar initiatives by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
Cortez was speaking with Anderson Cooper when he called-out the self-described Democratic Socialist for her “radical” agenda heading into the new congressional session.
“I think it has only ever been radicals who have changed this country. Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the radical decision to embark on establishing programs like Social Security. That is radical,” said Cortez.
The incoming legislator found herself in hot-water just weeks ago after she directly compared the ‘migrant caravan’ in Tijuana with “Jewish families” fleeing Nazi atrocities during the Second World War.

CORTEZ 2020? Liberal Website Wants Constitution Changed so Cortez Could Run for President
Left-leaning online magazine Vox called for a Constitutional change this week that would allow “immigrants, young people, and everyone else” to run for the Presidency of the United States of America.
The article, titled “It’s ridiculous that it’s unconstitutional for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president,” claims “young is better than old” and argues that Cortez would make a better candidate than aging Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden.
“You might worry that a new youthful president is underexperienced (but then again, which president hasn’t been a little underexperienced), but lack of experience is guaranteed to improve with time. Things are as bad as they’ll ever be during the campaign, so voters can judge for themselves without worrying about lurking problems,” writes Vox.
“Besides which, 29 (Ocasio-Cortez’s age) just honestly isn’t that young. People younger than that are routinely trusted with life-and-death situations in a huge array of contexts, ranging from parenting to military service,” adds the author.

Back home after a lovely few days off enjoying US examples of Democratic Socialism, like:

– Supporting worker-owned businesses

Cortez’ comments come just days after she came under fire for banning press and journalists from a series of town hall events; adding the speaking engagements were considered “sanctuary spaces.”
