If you’ve been paying attention to politics lately, you know that the Democratic party’s “it” girl is self-described socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Since rising in popularity, however, her ignorance on some pretty important policy issues has become quite apparent. Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro challenged Ocasio-Cortez to a debate in a way that she — presumably — couldn’t refuse. He agreed to give her campaign $10,000. (Or, if she preferred, she could give it to charity.)
Ocasio-Cortez’s response was baffling. . “Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions,” she tweeted. “And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”
Wait, wut?
Since when is a principled debate on issues that matter to Americans a “catcall?”
The fact is, Ocasio-Cortez is ignorant — thus the socialism — and she is scared to be found out. So, in an effort to hide her ignorance, she does what lefty liberals do best: make unsubstantiated accusations of sexism and misogyny.
In response, Shapiro said, “Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however.”
As of the time of this writing, Ocasio-Cortez has not responded, but socialism has no defense. Even Ocasio-Cortez knows that.
