A lot of stupid things fly out of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s mouth, but boy. This one is right up there with the others.
Politico published the details of a conversation Alexandria had during a photoshoot at Harvard.
REP.-ELECT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-N.Y.) joking about running for president.
PHOTOG: “What are you, twenty…?”
AOC: “29. I just turned 29.” PHOTOG: “Happy birthday.”
AOC: “Thank you! Thank you!”
PHOTOG: “You can’t even run for president for another six years.”
AOC: “No, not for a long time. Thank God. Although we’ve been joking that because the Equal Rights Amendment hasn’t been passed yet, the Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he’s 35. … So what we’ll do is we’ll force the Republican Party to pass the Equal Rights Amendment by threatening to run for president.”
PHOTOG: “That is awesome. All the people who say a literal interpretation of the Constitution is the only thing you should be paying attention to.”
AOC: “Exactly, all those Constitutionalists, I will keep vigilance.”
If it sounds like she’s trying to act like the Constitution is OMG SO SEXIST against women– especially women who want to be POTUS, it’s because she’s trying to act like the Constitution is OMG SO SEXIST against women– especially women who want to be POTUS.
Two important things to consider.
1.) The Constitution did not prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming POTUS. The American people and Donald Trump did.
2.) AOC is full of crap. Even Politico added this note:
— NOTE: The Constitution does not say “he”. It says “any person.”
AOC also believes she’s going to be inaugurated and sign bills, so is any part of her idiotic conversation truly surprising?
