NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - The nation's largest annual gathering of conservative activists has a new favorite political villain: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
The progressive firebrand and self-described democratic socialist was a nearly ubiquitous target for speakers at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week.
From Vice President Pence to conservative pundits and activists, this year's conference illustrated a ramped-up strategy from the White House and top Republican figures to condemn what they characterize as a creeping form of socialism in the U.S.
"With AOC we can't take her for granted. We can't think that the American people understand what socialism is. We do have to go out and educate," Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Thursday, using Ocasio-Cortez's initials.

She's young and sometimes a bit naïve. But I love how she has the GOP shitting themselves.

If they do, that will be the end of the Republican Party and the Gropenfuhrer.

(6,133 posts)Im amazed by her. And I dont really know yet that she is a what you say she is a bit.
She is way ahead of me and Im 60. I couldnt do what she has done in mass media and held it together in the way she has done. And to boot, I agree with this young woman completely.
I can see it in her face and her words. She knows exactly what she is doing.

to push the past into extinction.
Progressivism is a comet. Radical conservatism is a dinosaur.
How did that comet thing work out for the last batch of dinosaurs?
