WATCH: AOC’s Defense of the VA Shows How ‘Disconnected From Reality’ She Truly Is, & It's Bad

Linkedin Share

Many people on the left are beginning to see Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for what she truly is: a young, energetic, know-nothing.

It’s really that simple.

AOC has ideas but they are all garbage and would never work. That’s kind of a problem.

Her latest defense of the VA even caused one observer to describe the Democrat Socialist as “disconnected from reality.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) reinforced her opposition to reforming the Department of Veterans Affairs on Saturday, calling it a “myth” that the system was broken and in need of reform.

Ocasio-Cortez pledged at a town hall a week ago that she would fight bipartisan efforts to reform the scandal-plagued VA health system.

AOC is scary and so disconnected from reality

Instead of “protecting the VA” how about protecting the veterans they are supposed to serve?

The VA isn’t being starved of funds.

How is it possible that @AOC has this so completely wrong?

Only explanation is that she’s lying. The VA lacks ZERO funding. ZERO. They have more money than they know what to do with.

Her intelligence is a myth.

As a disabled veteran who lives in constant debilitating pain, I can say with 100% certainty that the VA is a disgrace. It took over a year for me to be put into “physical therapy” after having my spine fused, and they literally gave up because I didnt show improvement.

They want us to believe it’s all fine and dandy because this is what “Medicare for all” will likely be similar to.

Ocasio-Cortez appeared on the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery” this past weekend.

Hosts Daniel Klaidman and Michael Isikoff asked AOC to name three reasons why she wants to impeach President Trump.

That’s when the train came off the tracks.

See for yourself as Alexandria turns into a bumbling mess:

ISIKOFF: What would be your top three if you were drafting the articles of impeachment?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: The top three? I think number one is emoluments. I think it’s always been emoluments. It’s always been about that for me.

ISIKOFF: Two and three?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Two and three. I think two would be tax fraud. And number three, um. Man, number three.

ISIKOFF: Interesting that you don’t mention Russia.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: No, I don’t. Because I think that for a lot of aspects of the Russia investigation, as we saw with the Mueller report, I think there are a lot of parts of the Russia issue that some down to emoluments. Pay-for-play, financial transactions, Trump Tower. It comes down to money. And if we had gotten something from the Mueller report I would probably put that up there as number one, but I feel like it is a little risky to put all your eggs in that basket. And I think a lot of this stuff happens through backdoor bank accounts and stuff like that. So emoluments kind of includes any financial misconduct in relation to Russia.

KLAIDMAN: Specifically on tax fraud, what do you have in mind? Is there something specific, like deflating assets, or the insurance issue. Those issues you brought up when you were questioning Michael Cohen?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Yeah, I agree, I think it comes to that. There is just so much, like the census, you know, I can’t even, the tax bill, like, what can, there is just so much!
