Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a soaring speech to a near-empty audience over the weekend; hailing her “progressive movement” as a handful of supporters cheered and whistled.
Cortez was speaking with “hundreds of people” from the New York boroughs of the Bronx and Queens Saturday when she called on voters to send a strong, progressive message to Washington this November.
On a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, our supporters came together to connect with 100s of people in the Bronx & Queens to fight for a better future.
I am so thankful for every person who came out today to make a difference.
Let’s roll to November ⬇️

“This is what our movement is all about. It’s all about everyday people coming together and believing in their ability to change this country,” said Cortez. “It all starts with that choice. It all starts with rejecting cynicism.”

CORTEZ CONFUSION: Cortez Cites PARKS, ‘Eating Sandwiches’ as 'Examples of Socialism'
Liberal superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez left American voters scratching their heads this week; bizarrely citing National Parks and eating breakfast sandwiches as examples of Democratic Socialism.
Cortez posted the strange comments on social media after returning from a “few days off” spent at Acadia National Park; citing the nature preserve and “supporting worker-owned businesses” as American “examples of Democratic Socialism.”
Back home after a lovely few days off enjoying US examples of Democratic Socialism, like:
– Acadia National Park
– Café Co-ops (Def Top 5 best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had 🍳)
– Supporting worker-owned businesses
– Bonus: Spotted a @PPact helping people, per usual✌🏽💜 pic.twitter.com/xmiYXutfpS— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 19, 2018
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.”
CORTEZ CONFUSION: Cortez Urges ‘Imperfect People’ to Run for Congress, Calls GOP ‘Corny’
Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to ruffle feathers among voters in New York Thursday; bizarrely urging “imperfect people” to run for office and calling the Republican Party “corny.”
The self-described Democratic Socialist posted the unusual comments on social media Thursday morning; saying “More imperfect people need to run for office” and calling her GOP opponents “corny.”
Why is the GOP so corny?
You can front a band and run for office. You can pierce your nose, be a bartender, a teacher, a stay at home parent; wear a dress or rip your jeans – none of this disqualifies you from advancing the fight for healthcare, education, housing, and justice. https://t.co/NuVgmJmOFE

More imperfect people need to run for office. We need to eliminate the idea of “perfect” candidates – there’s no such thing.
What matters are your values and the platform you’re fighting for.
When the opposition goes into personal nonsense, it’s because they‘re empty handed.

Cortez comments come just hours after her liberal colleague Cynthia Nixon squared off against Governor Andrew Cuomo, where the sitting NY leader referred to federal ICE agents as a “bunch of thugs.”
