Hoo-boy.
Cue the McRib sauce spittle and/or barking-mad tweetering.
In a recent interview with The New Yorker, the GOPs bête noire du jour, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, called out Donald Trump in a big way.
Boom!
Ocasio-Cortez says that she has tried to keep her focus partly by avoiding watching Trump on television: He relies and thrives on attention, and so the less attention hes given, even if its just one set of eyeballs, the weaker he is. She said that watching Trump in the House chamber at the State of the Union address made her feel sick and underwhelmed.
He is such a small, mediocre person, she told me. I grew up with a real romanticism about America. I grew up in a first-generation household where your parents give up everything, and for me America was the greatest thing ever to exist. To be there on the floor of the House was beyond anything my parents would have ever dreamed of. But the person behind the podium was so unskilled. It was kind of sad.
That's not gonna sit well with the big, bad haircut.............
