Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unloaded on those who qualify her policy propositions as “free stuff.”
Ocasio-Cortez, the 30-year-old socialist New York representative elected to Congress last year, expressed her frustration with critics who write off her policies, such as tuition-free college, "Medicare for all," and expanding public housing, as “handouts” or “free stuff” to rope in voters.
“It’s not that we deserve it because it’s a handout. People like to say, ‘Oh, this is about free stuff.’ This is not about free stuff,” Ocasio-Cortes said at a Bronx town hall over the weekend.
The freshman Democrat claimed those in her party who believe in free-market orientated policies try to paint her policies in a negative light.
“ These are public goods . They’re public goods. So I never want to hear the word or the term ‘free stuff’ ever again ... because I’m tired of already hearing some of these neoliberal folks who are trying to like flip the script on us,” she explained.
She added, “Like when we’re talking about tuition-free public college or when we talk about public housing they say, ‘Oh, well, I don’t want to pay for a millionaire’s kid to go to college.’ That’s their like jujitsu on us that they’re trying to pull.”

She's still cute when she tries to "Socialize" !
"This is not about free stuff"
I noticed her comment "DIDN'T" say ….. This is NOT "Free stuff" !
"free stuff" is exactly like the n-word. Exactly. You're not allowed to use it anymore.
It's the same ol' "Liberal" ploy !
"Change" the name, and their folks will love it !
Kinda like "Quid-Pro-Quo" is now "Extorsion" and/or "Bribery" !
When the main subject fails AGAIN...go to a "Simpler" go-to !
Maybe now we can start using the real term for "free stuff". That term would be "stolen goods". Whether stolen by a private thug or by governmental jack booted thugs under the name of "taxation", they're still stolen goods that you worked to get.
Impeachment is staying impeachment in the House. Censure is a possibility in the Senate because of the corrupt Republicans refusal to address the charges.
try again..
the senate will not be playing along with the leftwing games.
So you are claiming that the Senate will reject the impeachment proceedings outright? Refuse to even consider any evidence?
Personally, I hope you're right.
actually I think they can't wait to dig into the schiffs bs... perhaps even the bidens
they will question everyone who has testified in the house uninterrupted by schiff. including the whistleblower and all the people schiff does not want us to hear from.
personally, I don't think schiff is dumb enough to pass his clown show to the senate. but time will tell.
cheers
What are you talking about? They haven't even been presented with charges to consider yet.
They've heard them the same as you.
The only way I hear about them is in the news. Constitutionally, that is not presenting charges to the Senate. Thus, they are not empowered to act on them or ignore them. The Senate has nothing to do right now regarding impeachment. Impeachment hasn't happened yet. They are not yet in a position where "refusing to address charges" is even possible.
Why do you continually try to insist people say things that they don't? I never claimed they "presented charges", but since you are unable to explain away from the publicly advertised charges that everyone with a computer or tv knows about, you try to move the goals.
Republicans HAVE responded to the charges that Trump is facing and have all come up with pitiful excuses that do not address them.
What you said was:
Your words describe procedures in the Senate.
This has been explained to you, but I will say it again. Senate Republicans are not in a position to address or "refuse to address" charges until the full House has voted to impeach the president on specific charges.
It is false to accuse them of being corrupt for refusing to address charges that have not been submitted.
The internet, the news, and shit congressmen say on TV is irrelevant.
Bullshit and you know it!
You continue to claim I have said things, which I have not, because otherwise you have no defense.
Your words:
Now, if you aren't talking about Republicans in the Senate, why the hell did you specifically mention them?
Fact is, the GOP Senators don't have to "address" any charges because none have been presented by the House to the Senate.
Which is what has been pointed out to you several times now.
Yeah, a lot of times people hate when you call stuff what it is because that honesty tends to expose the stupidity of their idea.
Funny, not one word from the lefties o NT on this yet...
AOC is one of those they'll support, just because, but have a hard time supporting what she says !
The Washington Examiner?
Just the opposite of The Independent, or in other words, more truthful
Yep. I'll take the Washington Examiner over The Independent, a blatantly leftist liberal Russian owned and British run online news site that a certain somebody here is so fond of using as their only source of info on many of their seeds.
No, the Examiner replaced the Washington Times and the Independent is more truthful. The Independent has NEVER FAILED A FACT CHECK. The Examiner HAS.
RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
Detailed Report
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 48/180
History
Founded in 2005 , The Washington Examiner is an American political journalism website and weekly magazine based in Washington, D.C. that covers politics and policy in the United States and internationally. The current editor is Hugo Gordon.
Funded by / Ownership
The Washington Examiner is owned by Clarity Media Group , which is in turn owned by Philip Anschutz, who is an American billionaire entrepreneur who describes himself as a “conservative Christian.” Anschutz is also the owner of the right leaning Weekly Standard and has donated millions of dollars to right leaning causes, including anti-LGBT groups, such as the Family Research Council , which has been labeled a hate group. The Washington Examiner is funded through an advertising and subscription model.
Analysis / Bias
In review, the format and content of the Washington Examiner has been compared to The Hill , albeit with a right leaning tilt . They generally report political news as well as local Washington DC news stories. The Washington Examiner frequently utilizes loaded wording in sensationalized headlines such as: Trump’s manic Monday amid the Kavanaugh storm . While the headlines may be sensational, the content of articles are written with less bias and tend to be properly sourced to credible media outlets. Editorially, the Washington Examiner is 100% right. It is virtually impossible to find a single editorial that offers some form of balance. Most editorials have anti-left loaded headlines such as this: Obama, the Great Divider when in office, lacks the credibility to lecture America .
A factual search reveals several failed fact checks by IFCN fact checkers.
Overall, we rate the Washington Examiner Right Biased based on editorial positions that almost exclusively favor the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks. (7/18/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 7/26/2019)

So what? The Independent is owned by Russians. I thought the loons on the left didn't like Russia now.
How many scary Russians do you have under your bed?
They've never failed a fact check unlike the source of this seed.
This "SEEDED ARTICLE" provides you with a vid of AOC actually saying what the Examiner wrote about !
When you are a far left loon fact check site, you will never fail one of your own.
How many have they been subject to? How many have they passed?
They Are Credible Doc. You TRump Supporters Live In An Alternative Fact Based Bizarro World.
LEFT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

History
Founded in 1986, by Newspaper Publishing, The Independent is a daily newspaper from the United Kingdom. The Independent was launched by former Telegraph staffers Andreas Whittam Smith, Matthew Symonds, and Stephen Glover. It is headquartered in London. In 1990, The Independent on Sunday was launched and edited by Stephen Glover. In 1994, the founders left the paper and Ian Hargreaves became the editor of the paper. A year later Newspaper Publishing was restructured, with Mirror Group and Tony O’Reilly’s Independent News & Media (INM) becoming joint owners of Newspaper Publishing. In 1998, INM took full control of the The Independent. O’Reilly bought out the company for £30m and in 2010 and then Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev and his son Evgeny Lebedev acquired The Independent. In 2016, the paper moved to a digital-only format. Simon Kelner is currently the editor-in-chief of the Independent titles. Andreas Whittam Smith, the founder of The Independent, has also joined the board of Independent Print Limited. In 2017, Saudi Businessman Sultan Muhammad Abuljadayel bought a 30% stake in the Independent online newspaper.

Analysis / Bias
The Independent recently joined up with a media group that has close links to the Saudi royal family to launch websites across the Middle East. Its partnering with a publisher that has strong links to the Saudi government has been criticized by the Guardian .
In review, The Independent tends to publish stories utilizing minimally loaded language in their headlines such as: “Theresa May insists Brexit deal is not dead despite EU leaders refusing to make further concessions” and US news “ Mueller investigation: Special counsel attacks Flynn criticism of FBI interview” . The Independent also republishes news from other credible sources such as the Associated Press : “Five things you didn’t know about Germany’s diesel ban”. In general, most stories favor the left and tend to be sourced properly utilizing credible sources such as USA Today and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
According to a 2017 survey conducted by You Gov UK , The Independent is viewed as having a center-left bias in reporting with 79% saying it was either Center or Left and only 21% saying it leaned right.

I'm sure you watched the AOC Vid that actually shows her "SAYING" what the article notes.....right ?
Or was it dubbed.
Soooooo…..how 'bout that renaming "Free Stuff" ?
Are you For or against it ?
Totally hilarious how you automatically label anyone that disagrees with you and does not share your political views a "trump supporter"! You cannot seem to accept the fact that it is possible to not support Trump but disagree with progressive leftist liberal viewpoints. That is a extremely narrow minded viewpoint on your part.
tRump loves the poorly educated because they're just like him.
Good attempt at deflection, but you lose....
I gotta "Dumb" myself down then.
He's done better than I have. 
Nope.
[Removed]
Did you get a pretty diploma to hang on the wall too ?
Do you think Trump is unique in loving the poorly educated?
DO Democrats NOT love them?
tRump's base is the poorly educated whom he loves.
'Did you get a pretty diploma to hang on the wall too ?'
No, I didn't go to tRump University.
It wasn't a "FREE PUBLIC GOODS" thingy available to you ?
I have already proven that to be wrong. Figured you would ignore it--I even called it!
LMMFAO!
I don't know what a free public goods thingy is.
Maybe Read the seeded article ?
AOC explains it for you.
Why would I do that?
You know I don't read what you post.
Whaaaaaa……
Why would you admit you "Don't Read" ..... again ?
She was too busy calling me a feckless cunt to actually bother to read before commenting.
Do you know of any intelligent folks who comment on articles they don't bother to read?
Or comment on links they haven't bothered to read?
Why would I read anything a tRump supporter posts?
Because it's what a "BLUE Lefty Socialist" is saying ?
You don't want to know what your "Fellow Smurfs" are saying ?
I noticed. Just Another
Troll !
Here is a really, really wild guess:
So you can comment intelligently and appropriately to a comment?
naw…….can't be THAT, for sure!
LMMFAO!
If he loved the "poorly educated" then the Democrats, left and liberals would be praising him. Instead you all are running around with your hair on fire because you lost an election.
Oh, but I did. It is clearly there for anyone willing to actually read the links.
heck, I even stressed to you that you would need to read the entire links!
I can tell you simply refuse to do so, or if you did, you simply don't believe your lying eyes!
No, you haven't.
Why the fuck would I read anything you post or follow any link?
But I did, and the people who know how and who bother to READ know it.
Maybe I can find a source more along the lines of "Run Jane run" so it will capture your attention span.
Who the fuck knows?
Why would you respond to a comment you haven't fucking read, why would you demand proof and then ignore it when it is provided to you?
So why are you here in the first place ??
Bingo! Nailed it...

Trolling, trolling, trolling, got to keep them doggies trolling!

What a hoot!!!!!!!!!
The "Facts" of what AOC said, are in the article....and a vid is provided also.
Hmmmmmm…….I seem to remember "Someone' saying this, just a few minutes ago:
" Shame and a pity that's all you have is to piss all over someone elses' seed."
" Shame and a pity that's all you have is to piss all over someone elses' seed."
I thought I would return the favor since you do that to me all the time.
I actually comment on the information on "YOUR" article.
You have a hard time with it.....the info in the "Article" that is !
You relegate yourself into that "Name game" thingy when your stumped.
Self portrait KD?
What no fat chick memes?
Still Trolling ?
Looking for quarters for the power washer...
From the "Public Goods" !
( I think I just threw up in my mouth)
Sort of !
I should have known not to trust you.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
'I'm here to have fun really, i dont have problems with your comments to me however now that you have expressed an issue with the memes directed at you I will refrain because it's not fair...sorry Tessylo....i will do better'
[deleted. Stop bring KD into a discussion that he is not involved in and making persnal comments about his family.]
Well those memes are directed at me so maybe he needs to lay off the off topic fat chick memes.
So Mr. Trump must REALLY love this one........................
