Her latest fundraising email, all sweetness and light.

"Six days from now, we can defeat the brutal white supremacist forces of anti-Semitism, anti-immigrant nativism, and racism. We can hold accountable the cold-hearted monsters who have repeatedly attacked our health care. We can send a message to the bigots and billionaires that this country belongs to all of us. We can win if we show up on November 6. We must end Republican control of Congress and begin to reclaim our nation."

“This is our chance to take action in solidarity with everyone whose lives are threatened by the hate-filled policies of Trump and the GOP. Our chance to push back against white supremacist forces across our nation, against the xenophobes who are militarizing the border, against the bigots who seek to erase our transgender families, against the apologists for sexual assault and the Islamophobes who sow hate to divide us.”

she's very good at using lots of buzz words and phrases.

This broad is so stupid.

"All 3 chambers of government. The Presidency, the Senate and the House."

 

[mtangelsfan]

Well, at least Cals and yk think she's hot.   So she has that going for her.

 

Which is nice.

I wonder if Trump could name the three chambers of government.

[Lou]

Left ventricle, right ventricle, and um, the uh bigly ventricle.

They are not chambers of government, they are branches. She never came close to the right answer. She is literally the product of social media group think.

It’s extremely heartening to see all the civics professors here on AW take this chick to task on this.  Keep up the good work guys.

If being a civics professor is what it takes to know the three branches of government, we're more screwed than I thought.

Come on man, she mixed up some words.  You guys I’m sure are capable of inferring that she was talking about winning elections.  Anyway, blast away at her I guess.

It's clear that she is a novice when it comes to politics.  This isn't the first time she has said something uninformed about our political system.  Of course she has a great example of that from our President.  In and of itself being a novice isn't a bad thing necessarily.  It's her politics that I can't stand.

It's one thing to mix up words (chambers vs. branches) but she actually thought that the three were the presidency, the house and the senate. That's ridiculous considering she is now going to be a member of congress. Next she'll tell me Guam is going to tip over.

I asked my 12-yr old nephew to name them.

Nailed it. 

[fan_since79]

She's concerned that Amazon is moving one of its two headquarters to Queens.

Why would that be a concern?? I don't get it.

Hey I get it.  She’s definitely a solid leftist.  I don’t believe that she doesn’t know what the branches of government are tho. At least based off that video.  She's had a few rough interviews that’s for sure.  She comes off brighter in others.  We’ll see how her career goes. 

Well, her career in politics anyway.

The issue was about tax credits and Amazon getting a big corporate break because they are reportedly going to hire 5,000 people. She would rather they not get the corporate incentive and lose the jobs. This is the principles of economics they teach at Boston College that qualify their graduates to work at a Taqueria and be a bartender.

We all know how all the half dead old assholes in Washington never ever misspeak.
