    What do you expect from her? She has proven time and time again that she is not on the same planet as most of the rest of us. The best thing we can hope for is her losing the next election.

    That will only happen if her constituents are any smarter than she is...And although that seems like a low bar to hurdle, don't forget they elected her in the first place......Ben

    The bigger issue is that she isn't dumb---and her constituents equate noise to value---not any different than trump's followers.

    Living in the Bronx would cause me to think that I had no control beyond myself and that means no opportunity to go beyond the state that I am in today. Then someone stands up from beside you, makes noise and seemingly the world listens---she becomes your source of hope

    I give you that probably she is not "dumb"............Completely uniformed absolutely. Without the left wing medias adoration of her she would not even be a blip on the radar. Just another powerless freshman member of the Congress.

    Ahhh… the results of Democracy. It can be a knife that cuts both ways. It is what it is, whether we support the results or not.

    It would help if it did cut both ways. Unfortunately thanks to the VAST majority of the US media it is slanted to one side. If you are on that side it's a good thing. If not, well not so much.

    I think her constituents got a clue about their new representative when she led efforts that resulted in her district losing the addition of a huge source of income in the form of Amazon. Do not look for her to be removed by a Republican challenger, but she could be in trouble from a Democrat primary opponent. Personally, I think her statements are proof enough that she is dumb as a stump - or “a glass of water,” as Pelosi alluded to - but she is in the thrall and control of her handler, Saikat Chakrabarti, a far-left political operative and parrots his musings poorly but has a big megaphone currently.

    WJ the far left will pump so much money into her next election that it will be next to impossible for any Democrat to oppose her. She's the new spokesperson for the extreme left-wing. It's a little surprising to me that she doesn't get more pushback from mainstream Democrats. I think they're scared of her which is ridiculous the only mouth she has is being given to her by the left-wing anti Trump media.

    Added strictly for the following quote from the comment section...
    AOC is quite upset because this shoots down her green idea of how to travel to Hawaii from the states. She was quoted saying, "Like, holy sheep! What are we going to do now? If someone were to cut the cable when people were traveling to, like one of the islands [voice goes up], just think how all of those cable cars would, like, end up polluting our ocean! There must be some, like, green way to travel to the islands, our 50th, 51st, 52nd, 53rd, like how many islands are there, states!

    That's so lame Ben. Fault her for what she does not from someone's comments.

    You're right, Fred, I shouldn't find fault in a born airhead who couldn't find her way out of an unlocked closet without a guide dog...The irresponsible voters who took her out of the barmaid's job for which she was qualified, and put her in office should be blamed...Thanks for the correction......Ben

    Ben there are idiots on both sides of the aisle no one group has them all. We just have to deal with them until their voters kick them out or keep em.

    She is not likely to go anywhere---she won with about 78% of the vote----and all of a sudden the people that voted her in---and even the ones that didn't think they finally have a voice---even if the voice is a little screwed up---noise matters

    I think one of the reasons she is popular is her good looks.
