That Awkward Moment When Babylon Bee’s AOC Headline Doesn’t Feel Like Satire

Alexandria Ocasio Cortex thinks Conservatives like to talk about her because we’re intimidated by her.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.

We like to talk about her because she’s hilarious. And she’s not even INAUGURATED yet.

I can’t WAIT to see what bills she signs.

Seriously, guys. If someone told me this woman was running a long scheme to make Democrats look like morons, I’d consider it a possibility.

So anyway… Babylon Bee decided to take her on.

The woman furrowed her brow and nodded slowly as the cartoon characters talked about basic concepts like the three chambers of government, the process of a bill becoming law, and how money works. “I thought Bill was the president a while ago?” she said confusedly, causing an assistant to pause the show and slowly explain what a congressional bill is.

“See how the singing piece of paper is trying to become a law?” the aide said amicably. “That’s kind of how it works, in a broad sense.”

“Ohhh!” she said as realization dawned on her. “But how do they teach the papers to sing? Wait—don’t tell me—socialism?” The aide then sighed and rewound the tape to the beginning a third time.

At publishing time, Ocasio-Cortez had asked to take a break during the episode on basic economics.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL. THIS IS TOO REAL.

Babylon Bee must just be intimidated by her!
