We thought Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quote-tweeting Brian Stelter was as stupid as things could get on Twitter and then she had to go and quote-tweet Chelsea Handler.
Folks, this is a level of stupid that legends are made of … true story.
Mass incarceration is our American reality. It is a system whose logic evolved from the same lineage as Jim Crow, American apartheid, & slavery.
To end it, we have to change.
That means we need to have a real conversation about decarceration & prison abolition in this country. https://t.co/9E9NTAmBNi

Jail evolved from slavery? Huh? American apartheid?
Reminder, this woman is actually an elected official.
She continued.
Yesterday morning I spoke with a woman who was thrown in Rikers as a teenager. Put in solitary confinement for MONTHS, aka torture. Force-fed pills.
The conditions were so bad, she too had drank out of toilets.
A cage is a cage is a cage. And humans don’t belong in them.

Had drank?
K.
Also, what the heck is AOC’s fixation on people drinking out of toilets? Seriously.
This makes absolutely no sense at all.

Nothing she tweets ever does.
Prison abolition?
What?
Wait. You’re being serious again aren’t you? pic.twitter.com/TJC9cB7Rrm

Sadly, she is.
You want to abolish prisons? Wise idea. We could have the rapists and murderers and thieves and child molesters come live with you.

“System whose logic evolved from the lineage..”. “Prison abolition” If you wouldn’t include such bold statements of ignorance, more people might listen to what you have to say.

Sending people to jail for crimes they committed is slavery. Got it.

Dumb, right?
And do what with criminals?

Notice the original tweet is gone.

This editor has read and re-read this stinkin’ tweet and she still can’t figure out why she deleted it. Ok, that’s not entirely true. It’s easy to see why AOC would delete this tweet because it’s garbage on top of garbage on top of a dumpster fire of garbage but WHY delete it and then tweet it again?
You know what? This is the woman who got confused by a garbage disposal … never mind.
