Why is Trump and Fox News so afraid of A O-C?

Trump just echo's Faux. What surprises me is until Faux reports something about A O-C, CNN doesn't. (Or for those who don't have enough brain cells to rub together, A O-C is a non-event to democrats, but a massive threat to GOPers)


CNN = establishment ("neo"-liberal, aka not so liberal except maybe on social issues).

Her defense of the Green New Deal was passionate and a real crowd pleaser.

If she runs in 2024, she'll fill stadiums.

FOX is in this for eyeballs and clicks. They know an entertaining politician when they see one; even if it's to tear her down.
Les Moonves said it about Trump; "It May Not Be Good for America, but It's Damn Good for CBS".

If you like her. or you don't, give the speech a view and ponder her potential:

Totally disagree with your opinion.
If A O-C is as you say, then she has done very little and is no threat to Trump or the Republicans. But as they keep mentioning her and try to bring her down to their level only shows they are afraid of her.

If Fox an Trump ignored her then 99% of what she does and says would go unreported by all the media, so they are only giving her media cover which cannot harm a first term House member and if she keeps getting digs in that upset Trump, who regards everybody who disagee's with him as a traitor, can only improve her political career.

You need to have people with two brain cells to rub together to understand it. Those who do have multiple brain cells already knew the content.

I find more interesting the recent findings that watching Faux news on a regular basis permanently changes the brain. Unfortunately the study didn't see if that change led to early onset dementia.

A couple of politicians were called out for even referring to the victims as "Easter worshippers" rather than "Christians."

The media failed to note that this actually made their statements factually incorrect. Easter is etymologically "Ä’ostre" aka Ostara, a Germanic goddess who had a holiday during the same time of the year. So calling the victims "Easter worshippers" is calling them all European pagans.

A O-C is great. And she'll only be getting better with age. Shame she's not old enough to run for prez. Would be really f'in funny to watch her beat Trump :)

Bernie is great. He'd beat Trump. Easy.
Tulsi is Great. Maybe a little stiff but she'll find her voice eventually. I bet she'd beat Trump too.

It's really sad that the Democrats -starting since Reagan- have become The New Republicans and the Republicans have become... well let's just say they aren't the Republicans that raised me* that's for sure.

*I'm American too, I grew up in the States.

Aaaaaaaaahaha!
Even Tucker Carlson [Fox News] thinks this is a great idea. And he's SUPREMELY allergic to A O-C :)
And Bernie.

A O-C is playing Repugs and Fox for the fools that they are.
They just can't stop talking about her, and stuffing their Jack-Booted feet in their mouths while doing so.
The more they attack her the more Democrats listen to, and like her.
Fox is making her a Super Star, all the while she's living rent free in the
heads of the Dittoheads who take their daily marching orders from Fox News.


It's not the left the right hates, it's the pundits on MSNBC, who are pretty much Republican​s or Republican​-lite.

Not only is she living rent-free, she is kicking the other tenants out.

So true about right-wing MSNBC.

Agree.

Since Socialism is nothing more than a modern day version of Feudalism, Where the People (Peasants) work the Government's (Nobility) 'Means of Production' (Land).

Wonderful to watch her primitive Socialist belief being thrown back into the sewer.

As a history buff you have that totally wrong.
Under Socialism the means of production is owned by the people.
In a Feudal society, the common people work for the upper classes, with a ruler at the top who controls everything, including the means of production.

At the moment the US is more like the Feudal system where the common people work for the rich. So that the rich can get richer and by their donations and influence appoint the President.

In a purely Socialist society the people would vote for their Government officials, and have a system to remove the same quickly if they transgressed. (A failure of the present US system). There is no ruling class.

I don't believe that most of the people are that stupid.

Do you?

Clyde, that question exposes exactly what you are.
It is the same sort of question as, when did you stop beating your wife?
