She and Bernie are a couple of the only voices shouting from the rooftops about what is happening in Washington.
I have quite a few friends commenting on her as an idiot, out of her depth. I beg to differ. I find her wonderfully refreshing, even if I disagree on certain policy.
I bet you didn't know this about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez:
As a teenager, she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans. In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.
In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute’s Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.
During college, she served as an intern in the immigration office during the final year of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy’s tenure.
She graduated cum laude from Boston University’s College of Arts and Sciences in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics.
Those who call her names and put her down are intimidated by her intelligence and are afraid of how hot her fire burns.
Better make sure that the people you attack aren’t out of your league. Go ahead and attack this young woman. I am going to get the popcorn.
