    When you share something like this, please include the link to the original article. Otherwise stupid people might think it's real and it will soon spread as fake news.

    Pretty funny stuff though.

    WASHINGTON, D.C.—Several aides sat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez down Monday to show to her how her radical, socialist tax plans simply don't add up, explaining how she needs to make radical changes if she's going to make any headway implementing her policies.

    In response to the cold, hard numbers that shredded her economic plans, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that she was being unfairly targeted by objective facts because she's a woman and a minority.

    "When my economic plans are revealed to be hopelessly flawed, it becomes obvious that numbers have a deep-seated, institutional bias against me because I'm a woman," she said. "Would the numbers call this stuff out if I were a man? No, of course they wouldn't. Mathematical facts are simply not comfortable with a powerful, strong woman like me."

    "Economic realities simply aren't ready for a girl from da Bronx!" she added as she posted a tweet condemning the "institutionalized patriarchy" inherent in mathematics.

    She also said that numbers are "obsessed" with her and that her popularity and success are just "getting under math's skin."

    "I am sick of harsh economic facts catcalling me and mathsplaining everything to me!" she said.

    That is fake, but I will bet many dumbasses are spreading it around as fact.

    Who is to say this poster is not one of those dumbasses?

    Anyone who has seen my posts on here knows I basically always cite them. There's no need to be a jerk - go get some fresh air.

    Are you also probably always sure you're telling the truth? Are you likely certain that you cite them and are never a jerk?

    It's. All. About. Race.

    As a minority here in Houston, it's disturbing to see the slippery-slope we as a country are sliding down. In regard to the the call-out culture, it is especially sickening to see the call-outs against "whites". That includes cases where "whites" didn't do nothing (see Jazzmine Barnes).

    This is what race-whoring looks like:

    The facts don't matter.

    Trash sells, and AOC has an unlimited amount of it. She's doing what Trump did from the other side with half the intellect, but that connects with liberals.

    The pathological liar traits also tie them together, starting from the whole mexican maid card while coming from privilege that her mother disproved.

    Watching Trump, she knows by connecting with the stupid and uninformed, she'll get more attention than actual leaders like Warren who can help the working class through intelligence, not gimmicks. It is a problem with democracies as they get bigger and more muddled.

    I’m sorry that you have had so many negative experiences with women. Perhaps you should do some introspection and consider that there is likely a reason you have suffered frequent rejection from substantive women.

    I'm surprised no one has posted her recent comments about how everyone is going to be exhausted because she's planning to g*ngbang the progressive agenda over the next two years....whatever that means.

    I thought conservatives liked people that weren't afraid to be politically incorrect?

    The main problem with what she said is that it doesn't make any sense, why would her and the Democrats be gangbanging the progressive agenda?

    On top of that, it's noteworthy when someone with a history of pearl clutching at every opportunity says something like that due to the sheer hypocrisy.
