AOC attacks plantation - Calls out CBS News for not assigning a 'single black journalist to cover the 2020 election'
[The Hill] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) criticized CBS News Saturday night for what she considered lack of diversity in its team of reporters covering the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

"This WH admin has made having a functional understanding of race in America one of the most important core competencies for a political journalist to have, yet [CBS News] hasn’t assigned a *single* black journalist to cover the 2020 election," Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet.


"Unacceptable in 2019. Try again," Ocasio-Cortez added.

#1  UGH

#2  I had to check and make sure this wasn't a Babylon Bee article. Attacking your own propaganda outlet is never a winning strategy. I refuse to call her AOC..she's just Sandy from down the block.

Watta maroon and the gift that keeps on giving.

#4  Looks like a nice motley crew of broads, a few fags and one ch!nk, and it's not diverse enough for her?

#5  She is following Trumps playbook.

#6  Did I miss a couple years? That election hadn't happened when I went to bed last night.

#7  Has she (AOC) checked the transgender (stc.) complement? Shirley, there must be other groups being slighted! Try again, Alex!

#8  New Yorkers are loud and hard headed. DC politics is all NY. Schumer, Trump, Cortez, Cuomo, Janine, on and on. The west coast Dims are not going to be able shut NY'ers up. Just doesn't happen.

#9  Ocasio, Censors in Deadlock!
Democracy Shaken to Bedrock!
Did press ignore orders?
"Send single reporters,
And never black newshounds in wedlock!"

#10  I wish the woman success in having a "forever" lock on the seat.

After "ganja" is legalized in my state for rec. purposes, I'm going to do a vid-loop of her past-weeks "wisdom droppings" and be entertained beyond any deserved.

This, I believe, says it all:

#11  Before the heat death of the universe,
I heard a lone Democrat loony curse
Amidst frozen ashes,
"Just you and me, fascist!
At last, m----f----, we're too diverse!"

Dozens of Democrats Flock to Puerto Rico for ‘Hamilton' Broadway Show Amid Shutdown
[Breitbart] Dozens of Congressional Democrats flocked to Puerto Rico on Friday to watch the opening weekend of Hamilton amid the ongoing government shutdown, in a trip that organizers hope will allow them to lobby for additional federal funding to the impoverished island.

According to Luis Miranda, a Democratic consultant and the father of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the trip will provide an opportunity for members of Congress, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to see the need for further investment to Puerto Rico, with the island recovering from the impact of the 2017 hurricane that devastated large swathes of its infrastructure.

"They’ll get to experience firsthand the needs of the island, so that they go back and sort of fight (President) Trump and the Republicans," he said in an interview with CBS News.

#2  "sort of fight" ? That's like Sandy Ocasio being sort of dumb.

#3  They will experience that Puerto Rico is "...less corrupt than Haiti!"

#4  Anyone but myself see "Cultural Appropriation" in casting PoC in most "Hamilton" roles?

Where is the outrage? /sarc

#5  While the shutdown is running there's no taxpayer funding for left wing drivel, sorry the "arts", bar that horrible relic called selling tickets whereby people who like something buy it rather than people who do not..
