#1 I'd say that's as fundamental an admission of having no idea what that oath to defend the Constitution means as is possible to utter...

#2 Openly declaring she is an globalist socialist, ie communist, of the limousine variety (see - Bernie).

#3 globalists and progressivists are puppets of those who know Ricardo's law very well and ensure other's don't know it in order to make themselves very rich and live off the backs of those who do work while making them spout some dodgy economics about effectively subsidised trade.

#4 Yes, yes. We know, girl. Never mind the citizens in your district.

#6 She was elected by 16,000 votes. She did not win by that, that was all the votes she got, total.

#7 Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) referred to illegal immigrants as her "constituents"

How many illegal aliens voted for her?

#8 Ricardo's Law of Rent

Which is probably the more important in the current economy.

#9 So, her district has 16,000 illegals...

#12 Assuming that 5% of illegals present in the district voted, and that they made up, say, 10% of the votes cast for her (I think both numbers are high, but whatever, we'll say that those are the numbers for now). Her district would be home to 32,000 illegals. That seems implausible, at least at first glance, but it would actually put the illegals at 4.6 percent of the district population, the minimum number of the national population they are currently at. Her election could very well be because of illegals. If it was, and she knows it, she's not just a politically correct assh***, she's a traitor, and should be executed like one.

#13 And that's why a closer look at the numbers is important. She's probably telling the truth, and everybody thinks that she's "just" spouting typical prog-tard claptrap. What a witch.

#14 For further reference, 50% of her district's population is listed as Hispanic. So above assumptions would place the local illegal population at roughly 9.25 % of the local population.
