Ocasio-Cortez lashes out after pics surface of hamburger dinner

[rogue06]

I am going to switch sides here and defend AOC. Her friend eating a hamburger was not hypocrisy, it was activism. He was only doing his part to end cow farts by eating cows. No cows, no farts. We should all help out by eating more beef.

Only we can prevent cow farts! Eat a burger!

Yes. Apart from slander being illegal, I find it to be morally depraved and disgusting.

How did you get to be such a weenie? You can't "slander" a politician for saying goofy things, Star. And that YOU, of all people, find something "morally depraved and disgusting" is downright hilarious.

The frivolity you and others have towards making false claims about others disgusts and angers me.

You're in love with AOC, aren't you.

I take truth seriously, and your wonton

I prefer the egg drop soup over the wonton soup any day of the week.

lying does indeed trigger me.

you have yet to prove I lied about anything.

[Cow Poke]

Nobody is forcing you to stay either. You could do everyone a big favor by leaving.

Sheesh, Star, I think some angry three year old has hacked your account!!! Get a grip, buddy!

[tabibito]

Wait how is it false?


"urging Americans to stop eating so many hamburgers" and "Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real." seem to both be equivalent to me.

And Starlight: That entire quote was from the article CP posted, yet you called HIM a liar. He was just quoting the article. You should apologize.

The claim of hypocrisy. "Don't eat so many hamburgers" doesn't say "stop eating hamburgers," and even the second statement doesn't say that eating hamburgers is wrong.

Keep in mind that for star Ocasio-Cortez is the smartest person in Congress essentially because he wholeheartedly agrees with her and after all he is constantly insisting that he's the smartest person in whatever room he happens to be in. So when she (repeatedly) makes foolish and woefully ignorant statements or does dumb things, it reflects badly on him so such things simply can not be true. They are nothing but lies, Lies, LIES!

The boy has the vapors.... maybe he was eating too much red meat.

Perhaps we should all chip in and get the poor guy a fainting couch and a case of smelling salts.

Seriously, I didn't know he was capable of this ... um.... 'conduct'. He has impruned my charter and desalted my mortal turpentine!

excuse me

It is a fair assessment. If you just went public complaining about cow farts and hamburgers, sitting down to lunch eating a burger in public (or your guest) does set a pretty poor example. She is basically saying "do as I say, not as I do"

If you don't like interacting with me, you have 2 choices. Ignore me or leave the site.

Preferably both.

[Cow Poke]

He said "Whopper"

Good one Starlight!!!

He meant THIS WOPR!

[Sparko]

He meant THIS WOPR!

I thought he was making a pun!

[Cow Poke]

I thought he was making a pun!

I'll bet neither.

[RumTumTugger]

I take truth seriously, ...

Is that your truth or The Truth Starlight? serious question here.

[Cow Poke]

It makes utterly insanely false claims...

"Less than a week of raging against cow farts"

This is pants on fire nuttery. Totally utterly untrue. She never said anything remotely of the sort. Totally untrue, totally slanderous lies. If you or anyone else here imagines AOC has said anything on this subject do feel free to link to those videos.

"Urging Americans to stop eating hamburgers"

Again crazy and false. Unlike the above, she does appear to once have actually mentioned this subject. Her comment in passing was to the effect that everyone eating hamburgers 3 times a day probably wasn't ideal. She didn't however "urge Americans" to do anything on the subject and she didn't suggest at any point that they "stop eating hamburgers".

What is wrong with the right wing that they apparently feel it's fine to totally make up stuff and assert AOC said it? It's nuts.

Star, here's a video where AOC responded to the "cow farts" dialogue....

Her comment in that video was “But it’s to say, listen, we’ve got to address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real.”

Now, do you think the child REALLY believes that people are literally "eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch and dinner"? Who does that?

Do you suppose that might be over-the-top rhetoric on her part to make a point? The article I posted is, obviously, using over-the-top rhetoric to combat that incredible stupidity.

Perhaps the child should take her own advice and "keep it real".
