The Lefts "SPECIAL LITTLE BARTENDER" puts "Foot-n-Mouth" …….. AGAIN ! 
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made her very first appearance on Fox News on Bret Baier’s show — and immediately dropped a fake news bomb about voter suppression as the reason Sen. Bernie Sanders didn’t do as well against former Vice President Joe Biden as predicted, as hoped.
You mean like the kind that probably came in 2008 when the New Black Panther Party members, decked in paramilitary garb, hung outside a polling place near Philadelphia — and the then-Eric Holder Justice Department stonewalled for months on investigating? Kind of like that?
No. This suppression in the Democratic presidential primary to which Ocasio-Cortez referred was of a different kind, it seems.
“Well, I think the one thing that we — that isn’t being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country,” she said, in reference to the long lines of voters at Super Tuesday polls, Mediaite reported. “Right there, in Ann Arbor, where we had that rally, those kids were waiting three hours in line to vote in Michigan. And so when we talk about who’s turning out and who’s not turning out, we absolutely —”
Baier cut in: “So just to be clear, you’re saying that you think voters didn’t get to vote that wanted to vote in Michigan?”
Ocasio-Cortez’s response: “Absolutely. You know, obviously there’s also more that we need to do in terms of turning out youth voters. It’s — we need to make sure that we’re inspiring young people to turn out, but when you do turn out, you should not be waiting three, four, seven hours in order to vote. And that causes people to leave.”
Most people would see long voting lines as a positive tell of Americans’ interest in the political process.
What’s more, when she was called out for the ridiculous view, she took to Twitter — her safe space, the one that offers her a chance to “speak” without having to deal questions — to deny that was her view.
“I do not attribute the [Sanders] loss on voter suppression,” she wrote. “[Joe] Biden bested the night, fair & square. However ‘anywhere’ w/ a multi-hour wait to vote — whether in GA, TX, MI, or anywhere else — is a problem. Voter suppression primarily targets Black voters, & young ppl can be impacted too.”
Sorry, but long lines at the voting polls is not a sign of voter suppression.
It’s actually quite the opposite.

Kids STILL say the Darndest Thing !
Don't underestimate America's Bartender-in-Chief! She's still hoping to be "inaugurated" for a 2nd term before being old enough to run for POTUS!
This woman is a hoot!
Nothing that falls out of her mouth surprises me anymore.
According to her....long lines to actually "Vote", is suppressive (Only to the "I-want-it-now" folks).
She's such a "Dink", and folks actually think this way.
The "Left" calls this type of thinking …… "Progress" !
And Bingo......................
The "ME,ME,ME" Crowd.
But the "Left" will tell you.....It's NEVER about "Them".
Silly little twit just cannot get it through her head that a great many folks just do not want to vote for her socialist bro! No voter suppression at all, just people with the brains enough to know they don't feel the Bern...
Cortez is correct. Only the 'under the rock people' would deny voter suppression.
Fake news bomb? Really? On FOX? Holy Crackers.

Lots of whining in those links.
Phffft.
Your left-wing hyperbolic links reference either 2014 (Rachel Maddow) or 2018 (Medium, Brennan Center, New Yorker, WaPo, Rachel Maddow).
<sigh>
Figured, no attempt whatsoever to dispute the facts.
There was no need for me to discuss off-topic issues from 2014 and 2018. They are irrelevant to the seeded topic.
Re: the video you posted in 3.1.4 -- "Governor Romney"? Again, irrelevant and off- topic.
I applaud you for trying, though.
Anything coming from the mouth of Rachel "Mad Dog" Maddow can be taken with a grain of salt anyway!
Same difference.
I personally find that post to be wildly entertaining.
About what? This?
or this?
How does one spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y?

Her Own Words "as seen on TV" = “Well, I think the one thing that we — that isn’t being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country,” she said, in reference to the long lines of voters at Super Tuesday polls, Mediaite reported. “Right there, in Ann Arbor, where we had that rally, those kids were waiting three hours in line to vote in Michigan.

Just letting you know that I almost fell off my chair laughing at that one!
Her best pics seem to be with mouth closed.
