Fox's new enemy? Alexandria Cortez. (Semi opinion) - Polidicks

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/25/opinions/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-fox-news-obsession-obeidallah/index.html In fact, President Trump's favorite network has what I'd like to refer to as "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez derangement syndrome." They can't stop talking everything Ocasio-Cortez, from her choice of footwear to the type of apartment she can afford to the alleged impending doom she presents for America. Look at the way Ocasio-Cortez has triggered Fox News in just the last week alone. On Saturday, in yet another discussion of the rising Democratic star, one Fox News guest described her as "[Fidel] Castro's granddaughter, Ocasio-Cortez," claiming her values would bring a dangerous form of politics to America. On Wednesday, Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy declared that Ocasio-Cortez should be person of the year because she had mainstreamed socialism, paving the way for other Democrats to reveal that they, too, are socialists. Then on Friday night, Fox News took its Ocasio-Cortez fetish to new heights, discussing her shoes in prime time. The segment opened with Fox News host Ed Henry first admitting the network's obsession with the soon to be member of Congress, stating, "we talk about her a lot on Fox & Friends Weekend." And then Henry led a discussion about the worn-out shoes Ocasio-Cortez used on the campaign trail that will soon become part of Cornell University's new exhibit on women in politics: "Women Empowered: Fashions from the Front Line." In that conversation, Fox News contributor Campos-Duffy reiterated her fears of socialism and told viewers that Ocasio-Cortez wants to turn America into Venezuela, where people "don't have shoes on their feet because of what socialism has done to their country." Mmmmm, cant wait to see the new attack ads over the horizon with connecting candidates to the all new boogeyman.

If they're already screaming over such inane bullshit she's definitely going to be President in a few decades.

like Hillary?

yeah tbh the right wing media machine has proven itself to be quite good at character assassination.

Streisand Effect, kids are going to be groaning at their parents news feed when they see this women needlessly slandered. But those kids will vote for her when they are of age if nothing else to spite their neocon parents. Point being, she's going to be fucking huge in the coming years.

this lady is so basic it's a miracle anyone gives her any attention

Basic?

virgin libertarian vs. chad socialist

You can't really compare a political bloc that has been around for decades to a freshman representative from New York. One of them calls radical policies that few Americans actually support that rely an an overabundance of optimism with little pratical real world application. The other one is Ocasio- Cortez

And yet you feel appropriate to come in here and say that. lol you’re just like fox

Again: Hillary.

lol people here complain about reality star elected officials, and they upgraded to admiring an instagramer/daily vlogger

Hillary had her fair share of hate from millennials as well though.

Maybe because Ocasio-Cortez actually stands for something and has a policy vision that the overwhelming majority of Americans support, while Trump is a vapid, empty narcissist who doesn't believe in anything. Go fly a kite.

Thank god an airhead stands for something! Not like we don't already have enough of those lmao I personally would like more politicians with backgrounds and demonstrated experience in a time like this.

"We're tired of political elites!" "We're also tired of fresh new-comers from the working class!" Fox News only wants the finest flabby, old, white, rich businessman the Free Market™ can provide to be in charge!

So I'm assuming you disagree with having a president with zero experience in office like Trump, then? Bernie Sanders has over 40 years of experience in office. Maybe he's up your alley.

old white dudes who are the reason we're in this mess in the first place got it

But she's already proven far more adept at countering republican bullshit on twitter than Clinton ever was.

It seems that right-wing media is much better at getting away with not even bothering to even create a sense of impartiality. Left-wing media could never get away with what Fox News does and remain popular.

She has a degree in business and international relations and worked for Bernie Sanders' campaign before this election and is now a first-term House representative. How on earth does that compare to someone with zero experience in politics being elected as US president? Why are you calling her an "instagramer/daily vlogger?" I literally had no idea she did any of that, it's not like her name recognition is based on it. This is an absolutely inane comparison.

I've listened to hear speak and she doesn't have convincing arguments, lacks a lot of facts. She shares some similarities with the crap Trump says, just on the other spectrum.

Like who.

"Ocasio-Cortez is the equal and opposite of Trump" do you people seriously believe this? This isn't even worth dignifying with a response because it's so fucking stupid. Most everything I've heard from her is based on substantive evidence and what Americans want.

Ocasio-Cortez probably gained more political experience in the last year than Trump has in his life time.

"Lack of experience" might be the new dogwhistle about minorities in Congress, it is the most diverse congressional makeup ever now.

You mean that she can talk properly compared to Trump?

I've never heard her mispronounce "United States."

hey instead of sniping from your increasingly alt-right camping spot i'd love ( and many other people reading this thread would love ) to hear your explanations as to why you think she's basic.

She's basic because she's a blue pilled Hispanic liberal woman. Or something like that
