Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Democrats: ‘I’m the boss, how about that?’

  When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced her Green New Deal she was shocked to learn that not everybody was on board with the Democrats’ plan to take over every aspect of our lives in order to save the planet from a crisis which was manufactured for the purpose. 

  I am sure she expected resistance from the “unidoctrinated” right, however she probably did not expect this level of push-back from the Democrats in the Congress because she probably thought they bought into their own doomsday rhetoric. But they have not and we saw it with Dianne Feinstein over the weekend when she let her guard down in front of a bunch of children and admitted she “didn’t give a damn” because it would not impact her. (Of course if she was being totally honest she would have told the children it was not going to impact anybody…)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been getting quite annoyed with the ridicule she has been taking since she introduced the plan and she has a message for the Democratic establishment and she is making it loud and clear. The other day she made it known that she and her cronies are in charge and just in case the message was misunderstood she reiterated it by claiming she is the boss and basically asked the Democrats how they liked them apples.

Ocasio-Cortez said, “Like I just introduced the Green New Deal two weeks ago, and it’s creating all of this conversation. Why? Because no one else has even tried. Because no one else has even tried.”

She added, “So people are like, ‘Oh it’s unrealistic. Oh it’s vague. Oh it doesn’t address this little minute thing.’ And I’m like, ‘You try. You do it. Cuz you’re not. Cuz you’re not. So, until you do it, I’m the boss.’ How about that?”

  I might not like the policies she is pushing but I do have to give her credit for not backing down and for taking on her own party, and in a way it reminds me of the way Donald Trump took on the establishment Republicans and refused to back down. The Republicans could learn a thing or two from her and I wish the Republicans would take a page out of her playbook and take on the Democrats.

  This act must be wearing thin on the Democratic leaders–who have focused all of their energy on opposing the President and because of this have not been able to concentrate on any form of platform–and one has to wonder how long they are going to put up with it. There is already talk from some Democrats about making sure she is a one-termer and it is sure to grow if she does not fall in line with the Democratic masters soon.
