    credit where credit is due. "Ocasio-Cortez responds to audience member who called fmr. Rep. Inglis a 'moron.'"

    good for her. the exchange happens right at the end of the clip if you want to skip to it, around 2:08 or so

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Ocasio-Cortez

    [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] came in second in the Microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans.[17] In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[18][19] In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[20] In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[21][22] During college, she served as an intern in the immigration office during the final year of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy's tenure.[23] "I was the only Spanish speaker, and as a result, as basically a kid—a 19-, 20-year-old kid—whenever a frantic call would come into the office because someone is looking for their husband because they have been snatched off the street by ICE, I was the one that had to pick up that phone," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system."[23]

    She graduated c*m laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics.[20][24][25]

    When her father died intestate in 2008,[26] she became involved in a long probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn "firsthand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy."[27]

    After college, Ocasio-Cortez moved back to the Bronx and found work as an educational director. Following the death of her father, she took on an additional job working as a bartender and waitress to help her mother—a house cleaner and school-bus driver—fight foreclosure of their home.[28][29] Ocasio-Cortez later launched Brook Avenue Press, a publishing firm for books that portray the Bronx in a positive light.[30] She worked as lead educational strategist at GAGEis, Inc.[31] Ocasio-Cortez also worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute, serving as the Educational Director of the 2017 Northeast Collegiate World Series, a five-day long program targeted at college-bound high school students from across the United States and other countries, where she also participated in the panel on the future of Latino leadership.[20][32][33]

    Anyone who supports her is brain dead. You are a race baiter though so not going to get into it with you.
