(Watch video at link) U.S. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., lashed out at Republicans via Twitter on Sunday night, accusing the GOP of “drooling” in anticipation of the 29-year-old’s every misstep.
“Maybe instead of Republicans drooling over every minute of footage of me in slow-mo, waiting to chop up word slips that I correct in real-tomd (sic),” she wrote, “they [should] actually step up enough to make the argument they want to make: that they don’t believe people deserve a right to healthcare.”
She later tweeted a correction on the spelling of “real-time.”

It was the latest in a series of complaints the socialist political newcomer has made on social media since winning her election Nov. 6 in New York’s 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of New York City.
On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez complained that critics were calling her “divisive” because she participated in a demonstration about climate change two days earlier outside the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
“When I respectfully join young people in an action promoting climate action while encouraging leadership decisions, it’s ‘divisive,’” she tweeted.

Yet when *other* Dems hold the Speaker vote hostage unless conservative concessions are made, it’s business as usual.https://thehill.com/homenews/house/416529-new-hurdle-arises-to-pelosis- march-to-speakership
“People keep giving me directions to the spouse and intern events instead of the ones for members of Congress,” she tweeted.

Last week she wrote that her constituents in Queens reacted with “outrage” that online giant Amazon had decided to bring 25,000 jobs to the borough.
Earlier this month, soon after becoming the youngest woman elected to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez complained that she wouldn’t have enough money to rent a Washington, D.C., apartment until she begins drawing her congressional salary.
“Don’t worry btw,” she later tweeted. “We’re working it out!”
Ocasio-Cortez stunned many in the political world in June when she defeated longtime incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, in a primary race.
Since then, she has continued looking to stir things up in her own party. On Saturday she endorsed a far-left group’s bid to run primary candidates against moderate Democrats in 2020.
The group, called Justice Democrats, calls its effort #OurTime.
Justice Democrats ✔ @justicedems We’re launching the #OurTime project to repeat our success in recruiting and helping elect @Ocasio2018.
Now we're recruiting candidates who will help usher in a new generation of diverse working class leadership into the Democratic Party.

An ignorant bartender takes her seat and all her salary and benefits amongst all the other animals who, although are communists, call themselves Democrats. We're not waiting to chop up your words. Just waiting for you to string enough of them together for a rational sentense.
