Hands Off AOC. A Message to the Left.
#AOC #AlexandriaOcasio-Cortez
Since the moment she was elected to public office, AOC has been a lightning rod for criticism on the right. Lately, however, it’s been fashionable on the left to do the same. It seems as though anything short of AOC changing in a phone booth and emerging as Superwoman just isn’t good enough. Today’s episode goes a little deeper into the psychology behind the right’s criticism and the fallacy behind the left’s.
