Kamala Harris praises Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

21. Also, the fact that she is an entertainer does not make her an ignorant

We need to stop adjusting the intelligence of people because of what they do, I have met people of all levels and I am always impressed at how intelligent many of them are, I always wonder why some of them did not go for academics, etc...

The fact that she is an entertainer does not make her an ignorant, and I am not suggesting you said that, but she is entitled to her opinion as well, and we can not only be happy when we agree with what they say, it is ok for all of us to not agree with something someone like Whoopi says, but no reason to crucify her. Do I agree with what she said? No. Like you I don't agree at all, I think that what AOC is doing is correct, she may need to be more diplomatic at times, and that just to avoid opening a door for republicans who are only looking for things they can criticize and make noise about instead of legislating. I would advise her to make sure she thinks twice how she says things, and again, just because the repubs have her on their sight, she is their target right now. Lets face it, every time a young intelligent woman comes along in the political scene, it threatens repubs more than anything else, that is what happened to Hillary and the repubs relentless attacks through the years have not stopped.

I don't suggest for AOC to cave in, NEVER!, but she needs to play the game right to make sure she gives repubs no leverage.
