| Ocasio-Cortez Appears On 'The Price Is Right,' Guesses Everything Is Free |
| 2019-04-13 |
| [Babylon Bee) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was pumped to attend a taping of The Price Is Right in Hollywood this week. The special guest introduced herself as a U.S. representative and rising star of the Democratic Party. Things got interesting when the game began and every time it was her turn to estimate the price of an item her answer was "free." Items included a set of Italian leather handbags, an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas, and a brand new 2019 BMW 330i, at all of which Ocasio-Cortez shouted, "FREE!" When host Drew Carey asked if Ocasio-Cortez understood the game's rules, she told Carey not to cat-call her and then responded, "Don't hate me cause you ain't me." She went on to guess that diamond earrings, a set of jet skis, and even a giant pile of cash were all free. Carey unveiled a package containing world-class healthcare and she said, "Definitely free." She was at one point puzzled by a stack of croissants but eventually guessed that they also were free. Cortez was never able to advance to the game proper, and as the credits rolled she appeared visibly upset. A hot mic picked up comments she made in frustration, claiming that the game was rigged by capitalism and that "everybody knows giant piles of money are free, that's like basic economics 101" |

(A)Gay man ectures Christians on biblical morality. (B)Los Angeles Intersection to be renamed in honor of Nipsey Hussle. (C)Man arrested while attempting to smuggle Chick-Fil-A sandwich into San Antonio airport. (D)Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's economics degree recalled. |
