The Wall Street Journal opinion page ran an op-ed titled, “Ocasio-Cortez Is An All-American Socialist.”

In the piece, the Journal claimed that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-Stalin is an anti-American Communist, ignorant of American history and politics, and leading America’s youth down the path of total ignorance.

AOC immediately tweeted them back, saying essentially: “Yes, I Am!”

Opinion | Ocasio-Cortez Is an All-American Socialist

She’s gone from bartender to international political star in a year. Land of opportunity, indeed!

Here’s a sample:

The tragedy is that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has little regard for the system that made it possible for her to be elected to Congress, gain extraordinary influence, have access to millions of dollars to pay staff (at a “living wage” of at least $52,000 a year, so generous is she with taxpayer money), and now with a standard of living far above what her old job could have provided. She leads a generation of young people to take pride in their ignorance—of the laws of nature, of history, of the Constitution, of the eternal battle for freedom—and still succeed.

Perhaps her role in killing 25,000 Amazon jobs in New York will wake people up, or maybe it’ll be the hubris of her recent tweet: “If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with your own ambitious, on-scale proposal to address the global climate crisis. Until then, we’re in charge—and you’re just shouting from the cheap seats.”

Ah, democracy! Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has soared because of the freedom and prosperity her policies would destroy. Our attention to her fuels her celebrity and therefore her ideas. Time to get over our fascination and move on.

COTR adds:

The Wall Street Journal recently published an opinion piece by Galen Institute president Grace-Marie Turner that credits AOC with what she’s good at: She’s good at getting people to follow and believe in her.

And calls out what she’s BAD at: basically everything else relating to American politics. …

I mean… it’s harsh. And she’s ENTIRELY right.

And because you literally can’t say AOC’s name without immediately triggering a response (this chick very clearly Googles herself every morning) she’s already AAAAANGRY. …

Yup. As it turns out, it’s waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too easy to get AOC to respond to you on social media.

She can’t stand criticism and definitely relishes her celebrity.

Here’s how she responded to the Journal op-ed piece:

“I guess WSJ Editorial Page takes pride in their ignorance of our nation’s history of slavery, Jim Crow, & mass incarceration; willful doubt on the decades of science on climate change; targeting of indigenous peoples, and the classist, punitive agenda targeting working families.”

Translation:

“America is a horrible place that deserves to be destroyed.”

In other words, the Journal got it exactly right. And AOC couldn’t agree more.

Thanks for clearing that up, kiddo.
