Study declares AOC one of the least effective members of Congress
[FOXNEWS] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
, D-N.Y., was among the least effective members of the last Congress, according to a new survey from the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking — a joint project of Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia.

Ocasio-Cortez introduced a total of 21 bills that the center defined as "substantive" — but that is where the story ends. Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov.

"She introduced a lot of bills, but she was not successful at having them receive any sort of action in committee or beyond committee and if they can’t get through committee they cannot pass the House," Alan Wiseman, a Vanderbilt political scientist and co-director of the center, told The Post.

"It’s clear that she was trying to get her legislative agenda moving and engage with the lawmaking process," Wiseman added. "But she wasn’t as successful as some other members were — even among [other] freshmen — at getting people to pay attention to her legislation."

She looks like "Kukla" from Kukla,Fran and Ollie and has the same communist mental capacity, what do you or anyone else with a brain expect from her, Einstein ?
The congress person, who is part of dimwit's posse of the 4 communist congress women of the Apocalypse, is Ollie, with the buck teeth... I leave you to fill in my blank____________

For "Least" effective, she sure gets her ideas published by the Media on a regular ongoing basis.

Unless Hiding Biden falls down the stairs of AF-1
and breaks his neck next time.

I feel 2022 Elections is the make or break point for the USA. Because the 25th amendment won't be played until after the 2022 elections at the earliest.

The Socialist Democrats must retain the House in 2022 otherwise Ms. Nancy can't pick her replacement for Speaker when she becomes VP.

#3 ?least effective? Have you read the "Covid" relief bill? The infrastructure bill? For an ineffective legislator (legislatrix?) she sure got a lot of her blathering memorialized.

#4 I'm pretty sure you don't need a study to figure out she's all talk and no action.

#5 least effective? Have you read the "Covid" relief bill? The infrastructure bill?

Correct. She's a moron and an ugly version of an Instagram attention-whore, but the main point is, she moved the Democrats hard left.

It's a radical party now, pushing Peronist socialism + cultural Marxism -- call it Race Communism. In no small measure due to the braying little Bolshevik Bartender from Queens

#7 But she got re-elected, just like Wilhelm and Grandma Killer and Chuckie and numerous other Nueva York luminaries.

They just stole a presidential election. And the public let them. Do you expect a different outcome next election?
Democrat power will continue to grow.
That’s what 1/6/21 was about.

#9 When you're nothing but a sound bite and have no friends on either side of the aisle, this is what you get. Protesting the old cluck Pelosi on your first day, didn't help matters.

#11 Least effective member of Congress award? There's a bunch of ineffective Congresscritters. I think we often vote to neuter/spay them so they won't be too effective. It is a matter of self-preservation.

#12 Thank God for small favores.

Of all the people I want to be ineffective, she and Bernie are near the top of the list.
