WaPo is OVER It! Mainstream Paper Starts Calling Out AOC's Misguided Rants
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, (or ‘AOC’ as those of us who type for a living have come to call her), is conjuring up quite the caricature of herself as of late.
The freshman Congresswoman is the first, true, full-fledged millennial to serve in the House of Representatives – a circumstance that has put Ocasio-Cortez under a microscope in the media. Pair this with some or her wilder dreams of democratic socialism, and her affinity for putting her own foot in her mouth, and you have a young woman who not only inspires the alt-left but also irritates the rest of the nation.
Now, even as a great many other mainstream newspapers continue to promote AOC as a beacon of liberal hope, the Washington Post can stand aside no longer and allow the nonsense to flow unabated.
Since @AOC accused The Fact Checker of relying on a Walmart-funded think tank paper when we fact-checked her, we need to set the record straight. She's wrong. Don't always believe what you see on Twitter. The article has been updated with a note explaining the provenance. pic.twitter.com/9vVZNMuEPh

“She’s wrong”.
That could very well be one of the only times that a mainstream media figure has truly and flatly told us the reality of AOC’s incessant blathering, at least on this subject.
For what it’s worth, Ocasio-Cortez does have an extremely powerful charisma that has entranced the democratic youth. Now the question is: Will she lead them astray, or will they learn the errors of her ways and continue to develop their liberal skepticism?
Only time will tell.
