George Conway defends AOC

Taking a break from bashing Trump, he defends AOC on garbage disposals.


?s=19

Conway's response to Mitchell:
Garbage disposals were illegal in New York City until 1997, so it’s hardly surprising that she never saw one. I don’t even think our condo at Trump World Tower, built in 2001, had one.


Douchebag Bill Mitchell's original tweet:
THINGS @AOC ACTUALLY SAID:

“I am told this is a garbage disposal,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I’ve never seen a garbage disposal. I never had one in any place I’ve ever lived. It is terrifying. I don’t know what to use it for, or what its purpose is.”

2. I'm the only member of my family that has a garbage disposal and I was in my 40s when I got it.

Sad to say but it seemed to us that rich people had disposals. I know very few people who have them. I know they aren't that expensive but when you struggle to make ends meet, several hundred dollars is better spent elsewhere.

Meant to post to OP.

Very routine
Never felt it was a rich man's luxury
