As Twitchy readers know, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tried to make the case that the coronavirus AKA Wuhan Virus is so racist that it is literally hurting Chinese food restaurants in New York City.
Let that sink in for a minute.
People are so racist about the Wuhan Virus that they are refusing to eat at Chinese restaurants.
Hrm.
Alrighty then.
Oh, and did we mention she made up a word?

THE PAIN OF RACISM.
‘People are not patroning restaurants … ‘ WTF is patroning?
Hrm.
Welp sounds like AOC didn’t like getting mocked and teased for A) claiming a racist virus and racist racists are putting restaurants out of business and B) making up a word.
I find it amusing that GOPers stalk my livestreams to obsess over any & every word, bc I’m *actually available* to constituent Qs at 10pm after a long day.
Meanwhile, many GOP electeds hide from constituents & avoid town halls. Maybe that’s why they’re so preoccupied w/ mine ??♀️

She’s SO not owned!
SO not owned.
Except yes, she was totally owned.
You poor baby, you. ?

"Don't ask me hard questions. If you do, it's stalking and harassing. I only want people who agree interacting with me".. AOC

Oh honey. Get over yourself.

if ur livestreams are public, no one is stalking you. second republicans have town hall meetings, and debates, you on the other hand are a coward, you won't debate a republican, or a conservative. when is the last time you were on fox? or debated a republican? when?

That was really you? I thought it was SNL skit. Dang, you really are a nimwit!

Sadly, her rant about racism putting Chinese food restaurants out of business was far funnier than anything SNL has done in the last decade.
Congressing is HARD….

It wasn’t silly to say that Chinese restaurants are suffering from racism because people won’t eat there. It was stupid.
