Alrighty, then, we’re done now.
Photogenic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made two more major gaffes on Wednesday during a question and answer session with actress and NY Dem gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon.
First up, here she is calling the pro-Israel supporters who called out her Israel-Palestine nonsense from last week “the alt-right”:
"I thought it was funny because the alt-right went haywire after that," Ocasio-Cortez says.
She says people just aren't used to pols acknowledging they don't full know a particular issue. “What do you mean you don’t know?!” she says with some sarcasm.

She’s the one that went haywire:
Pretty sure that the political constituency raising concerns about Ocasio-Cortez's flub on Israel and the Palestinians this week wasn't the alt right https://t.co/heDuMiNgzo

Because this is not who complained about her position:
Comparing pro-Israel Jews to Nazis. Ostentatiously stupid, bitter and eager to hate. She’ll make a fine addition to Congress. https://t.co/QDUrQc7Orw

She’s clueless:
@Ocasio2018 doesn't even realize that most of the alt-right is with her on the question of Israel. https://t.co/50EfpBtfRg

Ocasio-Cortez also stumbled on this fast ball down the middle of the plate that should have given her — and the entire Democrat party, for that matter — an opportunity to hit one into the cheap seats and tell everyone what comes after Dems abolish ICE:

Q: "What comes after ICE?"
A: Ocasio-Cortez says abolish ICE is "a very clear mortal question of our time."
Now says "reimagine" immigration system but not a lot of actual detail here…

But, nah. Instead we get “reimagine” the immigration system? Sorry Dems, but your new hero just isn’t ready for primetime.
