Ocasio-Cortez’s coming out party
If there’s to be a lasting moment from a politician in Monday’s program — beyond Biden’s de facto farewell after a lifetime in politics — it’s likely to be Ocasio-Cortez’s rousing speech.
Ocasio-Cortez cast Trump as no ally of working people, saying he would “sell this country for a dollar if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms of his Wall Street friends.”
She targeted Republicans who like to attack her for being a former bartender. She said she would be happy to go back to that occupation “any day of the week, because there is nothing wrong with working for a living.”
The crowd absolutely ate it up. It seemed to be the moment that Ocasio-Cortez completed her journey from left-wing “Squad” provocateur — and a thorn in the side to her party’s leaders in the past — to being a bona fide Democratic establishment star.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see clips of the speech for years to come.

She completely kicked ass. This was the best speech of the night, and the best speech of either convention (so far).
If you watch the video notice the choreography of her hand and body movements with the words. Truly outstanding. The young lady has a gift for this, and who knew ?
"She said she would be happy to go back to that occupation “any day of the week, because there is nothing wrong with working for a living.”
This moron revealed the truth about herself...admitting that since being elected to Congress she hasn't worked for a living or done anything of importance or lasting benefit to anyone except herself. A rising star she is not.
Hilarious!
It was the type of speech I would expect to see at a political rally. A lot of talking points but little meat.
So, is this her Barack Obama moment? Remember he gave a speech at the 2004 DNC that skyrocketed him to the top of the pile. I sure as hell hope not.
And the Democrat party leans into it …. Leftward ho mateys, leftward ho!
And the peanut gallery weighs in.
Yep, all night last night.
