Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The gift that keeps on giving.
Ben Shapiro challenged her to a debate. She called his offer “catcalling.”

Shapiro responded:
Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however. https://t.co/kYaYuf0W43

Ocasio-Cortez, like all liberals, has zero long term memory. She called such an offer “catcalling” but here she stalking Joe Crowley, demanding a debate.
Boy howdy I love it when people try to defend Ocasio by claiming that Ben Shapiro has no right to ask her to put her ideas up for debate with him.
He’s just making her live up to her own rules. pic.twitter.com/RdzWqqjMHh

Among those she supports? Ilan Omar. A rabid anti-Israel radical.

The Washington Post did a brutal fact check take down of Ocasio-Cortez:
1. “Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family.” — July interview on PBS’ “Firing Line.”
2. “ICE is the only criminal investigative agency, the only enforcement agency in the United States, that has a bed quota. So ICE is required to fill 34,000 beds with detainees every single night and that number has only been increasing since 2009.” — May interview with The Intercept
3. “They [national Democrats] were campaigning most when we had more of an American middle class. This upper-middle class is probably more moderate but that upper-middle-class does not exist anymore in America.” — August interview on “Pod Save America”
4. “In a Koch brothers-funded study — if any study’s going to try to be a little bit slanted, it would be one funded by the Koch brothers — it shows that Medicare for all is actually much more, is actually much cheaper than the current system that we pay right now.” — August interview on CNN with Chris Cuomo
5. “The reason that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act is because they ruled that each of these monthly payments that everyday American make is a tax. And so, while it may not seem like we pay that tax on April 15th, we pay it every single month or we do pay at tax season if we don’t buy, you know, these plans off of the exchange.” — August interview on CNN with Chris Cuomo.
False. False. False. False. False.

Let’s hope she doesn’t quit.
