My opinion of AOC is changed, likely permanently

I will add this to AOC's defence of Warren (when the neocon Jennifer Rubin smeared Warren with a misogynistic framing after a debate). Not only that, but it was a defence by AOC of a competitor running against AOC's endorsed choice for POTUS, which further shows her sincerity.

I really tire of these attempts (obviously not you, Dem4Life) by some to start up or rekindle a divisive Democratic slow-burn, never-ending internal war simply to take shots at (in thsi case) an elected Democratic woman who just went through a nightmarish episode at the hand of Trumpian seditious white nationalist vermin. So ironic as they are doing exactly what some of the entities they claim to dislike (or outright hate) are doing in terms of spinning up division.

AOC defends Elizabeth Warren against 'misogynistic trope' after Democratic debate

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has defended Elizabeth Warren against criticism of her Las Vegas debate performance, saying a critique calling the Massachusetts senator “mean and angry” was a “misogynistic trope”. Ms Ocasio-Cortez, who has endorsed Ms Warren’s opponent Bernie Sanders, argued in a series of tweets that the Massachusetts senator's searing attacks on billionaire Michael Bloomberg — which led to considerable positive media attention and a strong day of fundraising for her — showed she is strong, and that some of the responses have been sexist.

“Warren was not mean, nor angry. She was effective,” Ms Ocasio-Cortez said. “And by the way, we are allowed to be angry about racial profiling, You’re allowed to be angry about sexual harassment. Or at big banks committing fraud against single parents. Anger at injustice is quite appropriate.”

Ms Ocasio-Cortez continued: “It’s truly time to retire the misogynistic trope that angry men are powerful, yet angry women are unhinged. “It’s such gaslighting nonsense,” she said. “You SHOULD be mad at abuse of power. The real question is how one channels that energy into positive change that creates justice.”
