Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's promise to boost federal funding for social programs should not be considered "free stuff," because they are in fact "public goods," the New York Democrat said in a Monday tweet.
Ocasio-Cortez, who earlier in the day led a Green New Deal town hall about public housing in the Bronx, said she's tired of being accused of essentially bribing voters with financial handouts.
"Public education, libraries, & infrastructure policies (which we‘ve had before in America and elsewhere in the world!) are not 'free stuff,'" she tweeted.
"They are PUBLIC GOODS. And they are worth investing in, protecting, & advancing for all society and future generations. Sincerely, NY-14."
Ocasio-Cortez, who has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2020 race, also said she never wants to hear the term "free stuff" uttered ever again in a political context.
"I love that you support the Green Deal, but it’s not getting rid of fossil fuel, it’s not going to solve the problem fast enough,” the woman continued. “A Swedish professor [said] we can eat dead people but that’s not fast enough. So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: 'We got to start eating babies'! We don’t have enough time! There is too much CO2," [said the yet-to-be-identified woman].
And hands near the neck of a cardboard cut-out is not "choking".Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went on the warpath Tuesday over a picture of some Mitch McConnell-supporting high-schoolers groping and mock-choking a cardboard cutout of her — but the Senate majority leader and his supporters said her complaints were paper-thin.
The Kentucky senator’s spokesman pointed out that then-President Barack Obama’s staffers did the same thing to a Hillary Clinton cutout 11 years ago, while others just thought the whole debate was yet another example of today’s hypersensitivity.

“Hey @senatemajldr – these young men look like they work for you,” [Cortez] tweeted Monday night. “Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll…or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?”
McConnell’s campaign manager, Kevin Golden, shot back Tuesday, defending the majority leader and noting the Obama-staff similarities.

Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t let the issue drop Tuesday, as she put out a tweet implying that McConnell’s camp is condoning the stunt.

The deadly attacks on human life already shakes us. When evil attacks human life in our places of worship it shakes our core. Thinking of the families and communities directly impacted by these cowardice attacks.
Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg, a breakout star of the 2020 campaign, slammed evangelical Christians on Sunday for their support of President Donald Trump given his payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels.A mayor who wants to be president. Heh. I put a bandage on a scraped knee a while back, which qualifies me to be a orthopedic surgeon? A mayor who wants to play 'Big people's job,' just like someone else.
'I can't believe that somebody that was caught writing hush money checks to adult film actresses is somebody they should be lifting up as the kind of person they want to be leading this nation,' he said on NBC's 'Meet the Press.'
He said Trump's hypocrisy is 'unbelievable.'
The Amazon killers are still on the attack.NY Daily News: Cortez overly-sensitive over her faux accent.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens/Bronx) and her partner in job-slaying crime, state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Queens), lashed out at Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Internet giant Saturday, as the two Amazon opponents held a joint constituent event in Woodside.
[.]
Cuomo, who said Sunday that the Amazon fiasco has wrecked the state’s ability to attract new businesses, “should look in the mirror,” Gianaris charged.
[.]
...several of the constituents who waited for up to two hours to land a five-minute meeting Saturday with the lefty lawmakers were there to sound off about losing out on the 25,000 jobs that Amazon had promised.
“I felt like people should have gotten the jobs,” said Susie Scaretta-Enright of Woodside. “There are people that are struggling.”
[Cortez] also spoke of critics who accused her of adopting a faux Bronx accent when she spoke Friday at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention.
“It’s so crazy to at once mock someone for being from a working class background, for being a bartender, for shaming me for where I was born and where I’m from and on the other hand, when I lean into my identity and who I am and all of that, people are saying that’s not true either,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
