Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez swiped at Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Thursday; accidentally highlighting major issues plaguing public education in America while calling for increased funding.
“Only *one-third* of American children in elementary & middle school can read at grade-level. One third. Yet Betsey DeVos is trying to cut *every* Federal literacy program in the country,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media Thursday morning.

Users on social media quickly pointed-out the incoherence of the left-wing legislator’s argument; with one person writing “Ask any teacher at the local level to describe the impact of either of these federal programs mentioned on their daily practice . You won’t find any who can because they make no difference.”

AOC ERUPTS: Ocasio-Cortez SLAMS Mitch McConnell, Says He ‘Doesn’t Want to Save the Planet’
Embattled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unloaded on Sen. Mitch McConnell Tuesday; bizarrely suggesting the GOP leader “doesn’t want to save the planet” and will be “drinking oil in 30 years.”
“What McConnell’s doing is that he’s trying to rush this bill to the floor without a hearing… without working through committee — because he doesn’t want to save our planet. Because he thinks we can drink oil in 30 years when all our water is poisoned,” Ocasio-Cortez reportedly said.
