Since she was first elected to Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) – like most of Gen-Z – has an opinion about everything and, in her mind, only her opinion is correct.
And she is sure to post all of those opinions all over social media, along with every other thought that pops in her head.
But her strategy of saying whatever pops in her head just came back to haunt her.
With Democrats’ chances of retaining either of their majorities in the U.S. House and Senate fading by the day, the last thing they need is more self-inflicted wounds than President Joe Biden hands the Party every time he shows up in public.
Even Democrats who do not necessarily have to worry about losing their seats, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), have a vested interest in not making things any worse.
But then again, they wouldn’t be Democrats if they understood such cost-benefit analysis.
And after a militant left-wing mob stormed a Washington, D.C. restaurant to threaten a Supreme Court Justice and his family, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez proved just that.
Last Wednesday, left-wing radicals associated with the militant left-wing group ShutDown DC descended on a Washington, D.C. Morton’s Steakhouse where Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, his wife, and two daughters – not to mention other patrons – were having dinner.
“Demonstrators were told that the conservative justice, who voted in favor of overturning a woman’s right to an abortion under Roe v. Wade in June, was eating at Morton’s The Steakhouse restaurant in Washington’s downtown area,” Fox News reported. “Protesters then gathered in front of the restaurant while organizers of the event called the restaurant manager and demanded that Kavanaugh be made to leave.”
Of course, despite reports of the Justice being “chased off,” Politico reported that Kavanaugh and his family finished their meal and slipped out the back before they even knew the radical Left’s minions were there.
Regardless, the disgusting fascist actions of their deranged left-wing minions was a welcomed sight for virtually every top Democrat, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Mind you, this incident of a left-wing outrage mob storming a restaurant in order to “confront” Justice Kavanaugh and his family happened just a few weeks after another left-wing radical attempted to assassinate the Justice outside his family home.
But undeterred, and like a proud older Marxist sister, Ocasio-Cortez took to social media to cheer her mindless, woke underlings on.
Poor guy. He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him.
The least they could do is let him eat cake 🍰 https://t.co/5Y3b1TIW1N

Her very, very dangerous lie about ectopic pregnancies aside – exactly zero states have outlawed ectopic pregnancy procedures and/or removing an unborn child who died in the womb – it’s interesting to see AOC sing such a tune.
After all, as she herself said in response to criticism from the rest of the population who are actually rational and think it’s probably not best to have mobs put bounties on Supreme Court Justices’ heads, she’ll “never understand the pearl clutching over these protests.”
I will never understand the pearl clutching over these protests. Republicans send people to protest me all the time, sometimes drunk and belligerent.
Nobody cares about it unless it’s a Republican in a restaurant. Can someone please explain the obsession because I don’t get it

However, when the shoe is on the other foot, and it was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who was on the receiving end of protests to her absurd positions, she sings a much different tune.
In fact, according to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, she has a right to be free from “[People] do not have the right to force others to endure their harassment and abuse.”

This is a classic case of talking out of both sides of your mouth – wanting to have your cake and eat it too.
When left-wing radicals harass Justice Kavanaugh, they should be celebrated as heroes because what they’re doing has been deemed “moral and virtuous” by the radical Left.
But when it’s directed at her, the perpetrators should be silenced, canceled, censored, harassed by her left-wing minions, and maybe even thrown in jail.
Just another day at the office for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Democrats like her.
