As Twitchy told you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beclowned herself once again with this piping-hot take on wages at LaGuardia:
Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE ?
Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) April 1, 2019
If being stupid were a crime, AOC would be serving like 68 consecutive life sentences.
Honestly hope, for her sake, this is an April Fool's Joke.

This is not a drill:
GOP taking every tweet so earnestly, making my point for me. It’s not an argument against the price of a croissant – it’s about the value of human worth.
But I guess that idea is foreign to them since their policies treat people as disposable anyway ??♀️

First of all, what exactly is “the value of human worth”?
"the value of human worth"

Actually, it's about the worth of human value. https://t.co/DAGrKfuC5a

Snort. AOC’s command of the English language rivals only her command of basic economics. Which is to say, words are hard for her. She really doesn’t seem to realize what she’s saying.
The value of human worth is $15 an hour? Really?

Human worth is $15 an hour? Dang. https://t.co/fU4OGFM5Jy

So you place a $15 price tag on 'human worth'. Good to know ? https://t.co/lap1iGs7tX

Your problem is that you equate human worth with wages. We pay for labor based on the value the labor creates. This has nothing to do with human value. An unemployed person is just as valuable as a CEO. That doesn't mean they create the same economic value.

Stop making sense!
If this is true, why do you think human lives are only worth $15 an hour?
— Ashley Rae Goldenberg (@Communism_Kills) April 1, 2019
Perhaps don’t tie human worth to anything else but what do I know.

We reckon you know a hell of a lot more than AOC about why minimum wage increases can lead to price increases.
And speaking of human worth …
You are from a state that passed a bill that allows full term infants to be murdered. You might want to sit down. https://t.co/VHxb0aOUeZ

Member of the political party that advocates for infanticide wants to talk about the “value of human worth” and treating people as “disposable,” story later. https://t.co/7c0xarpMhd

She should sit everything out, but especially this. Just when you think she’s stepped on every rake, she goes and steps on another one. And then blames Republicans when she’s called out!
The gall of this is incredible. Paraphrased @AOC: "If you don't believe the government should force people to pay other people $15/hour, you don't put value on human worth and treat people as disposable. Also, stop taking every tweet of mine so earnestly!" https://t.co/nDkWnVNUxD

"My point wasn't about croissants, it was about how my political opponents are inhumane and cruel."
Way to steer into the skid. https://t.co/FJvIkaIAGs

If she were self-aware, we might actually think she realizes how much of a willfully dishonest moron she is. But she’s flakier than a LaGuardia croissant.
Why do you even listen to me, she asked. https://t.co/7s4YSOltgW
— Karol Markowicz (@karol) April 1, 2019
So we should take @AOC literally, but not so earnestly… or maybe not literally… seriously?
Anyway, BRB: gotta go treat some people as disposable. https://t.co/nDkWnVNUxD

AOC doesn’t need the GOP’s help to undermine her own arguments. She does a fine job of that herself.
Not only are you a moron, your use of "GOP" in place of "everyone who disagrees with me" is another example of your flimsy intellect.
You should really consider going back to tending bar. https://t.co/fNIf8EA4PU

'Good Lord, that's ridiculous!' Turns out minimum wage expert AOC forgot to fact-check herself before she wrecked herself https://t.co/fCdQhVyPY0
