    • Failure to meet thread creation guidelines (Rule 11)
    If nothing else, this woman sure is entertaining.

    Her latest (and my apologies if this has already been addressed elsewhere) is that people who aren't eating at Chinese restaurants are racist.

    "Honestly, it sounds almost so silly to say, but there's a lot of restaurants that are feeling the pain of racism," the New York Democrat said Tuesday night on Instagram Live. "People are literally not patroning Chinese restaurants. They're not patroning Asian restaurants because of just straight-up racism around the coronavirus."

    First off, you would like to believe that a college graduate would know that "patroning" isn't even a word. And it wasn't a case of her misspeaking. She said it twice.

    Second, she needs to wrap her pointed little head around the fact that it IS silly to say that, because it's NOT racism.

    Third, she has nothing to back up her ignorant claims. I drove past a local Chinese restaurant this afternoon and the parking lot was almost full.

    This is a rather unfortunate, yet blatant, example of an idiot liberal trying to turn this into something it's not. The senior leaderwship on the left needs to snatch AOC up by her short curlies and bring her back in line.

    She's nothing but a new-age idiot who, sadly, will likely one day handle the reins of the Democratic party

    I think people are overdoing it, was listing to an ex-cop on the news and his relative he has not seen was told to self quarantine even though had not seen him recently

    the reality is, most of us will get it, 1% of us will get it worse than others

    the governments concern on spread, is slowing it so less need medical care all at once and do not overload the medical system

    I just made sure have extra meat in freezer and extra canned food in case a food shortage for a couple weeks, other than that, not much one can do

    Well if this virus came from Mexico I would cook my mex food at home until this virus was no longer a threat to my life. Calling that racism is idiocy .

    That sanders is affiliated with this nut hurt him and cost him the primary .Being to the left of sanders hurt him .

    What also hurt sanders is his change on immigration since 116.He lost too much of his blue collar support imo given he lost Michigan to a blue collar hating establishment dem .

    Could it be that they're not patroning Chinese and Mexican restaurants because they prefer Chick-fil-A? Not racist at all just freedom of choice.

    what hurt sanders is the black vote went to Biden, Biden was Obama's VP for 8 years, so they know him and trust him

    Sanders got lots of support from the younger generation (all races), so times are a changing

    I think Sanders was the better choice, but I will take either over Trump

    Eventually, the overuse of the word "racist" will render it meaningless. I encourage AOC to continue declaring everything as racist.

    I will experience stomach cramps when eating Chinese foods, my digestive system is really racist and the bat soup somehow makes me puke or something. Do I have to kill myself just to prove that I'm not a racist?

    Typical liberal fail.

    You think you can mitigate the idiocy of AOC by pointing out the failures of others. You can't. It's a stupid, ignorant ploy which fails every time.

    According to AOC, if you don't go to a Chinese restaurant, you're a racist. I suppose it doesn't matter if you prefer Italian or a nice steakhouse. Eat Chinese food, you freakin' racist!

    AOC is an idiot. She's a complete freakin' idiot.

    That cannot be denied...

    Pretty much my philosophy. I will feel better when there is a vaccine.....as my parents are well into their 80s...but it isn't like this is ebola. I think the main issue is that no one has Immunity...

    My wife's oldest son works at a restaurant in California that has shutdown on weekdays due to a lack of customers because of the coronavirus. So, are California residents racist for not eating at a TGIFridays?

    LOL! In your wet dreams. She is fringe, extreme left, and will probably be gone in November.

    I thought you were supposed to be somewhat moderate. So much for that claim.

    So you are comparing her to who, Bush and trump? Would you care to compare dumb sht that she's said to dumb sht that trump says?

    She is a minor congresswoman. You have an dangerous, psychopathic idiot in the WH but you are worried about AOC? Talk about missing the elephant in the room!!! .

    You misunderstand. I detest the woman.

    But seeing as the likes of Bernie Sanders has come along as a strong force in the Democratic party, it's not unreasonable to think that AOC may, as well.

    It's not a wet dream, it's a nightmare...

    I'm not comparing her to anyone. She's a fool without equal. I don't have to compare her to anyone to make that observation.

    Of course you'd rather talk about Bush or Trump because there's no way for you to discuss AOC without acknowledging that she's an absolute idiot.

    You're racist if you don't go to a Chinese restaurant. If you can't wrap your head around wht that's monumentally stupid, then you're the kind of person she's hoping to woo if and when she moves up the ladder in the Democratic party.

    Yes, I worry about AOC. I worry about her because a large number of her fellow libs will find her particular brand of idiocy appealing.

    If you want to talk about Trump or Bush, start a thread about Trump or Bush...

    IMO, AOC is patronizing, pretentious, and perplexed, all at the same time

    No she's not she's just stupid and believes it's ok to use the government as a tool to promote your agenda. Congress should be eliminating laws not creating more of them.

    The only agenda of the federal government is up holding the constitution.
    That means national defense ( military)
    Domestic tranquility ( law enforcement)
    General welfare ( protecting the bill of rights)

    Right now our federal government is reaching far far far beyond their constitutional scope. Some of it, national parks, and public lands are great, but most government programs are too intrusive AND beyond the constitutional scope of the federal government.

    I think we need to know whether AOC, and her fellow Trump Coronavirus response attacking DNC membership, has been colluding with China!
