    Ocasio-Cortez For House Speaker? ‘I Don’t Want to Bite Off More Than I Can Chew’

    (CNSNews.com) – Democrat socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was still celebrating her victory in New York’s 14th Congressional District Tuesday night when she was asked her thoughts on becoming speaker in the Democratic-controlled House.

    The 29-year-old laughed, and told Amy Goodman of the left-wing news program Democracy Now, “I mean, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew.”

    Goodman had asked Ocasio-Cortez her stance on Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) returning as House speaker.

    “Who do you think needs to lead the House?,” she asked. “And would you consider the possibility of being the speaker … yourself?”

    “I mean, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew,” Ocasio-Cortez laughed. “I just won my seat.”

    “But, you know, what I do think is that in terms of her leadership in context, we need to see what our options are,” she continued. “You know, my fear is, I just wouldn’t want to see candidates running to her right, and that being our only option.”

    Ocasio-Cortez indicated that priorities for her when it comes to Democratic House leadership include Medicare for all, tuition-free college, and a “living wage.”

    “And that’s what I’m going to be looking for in terms of where we want to select our next speaker,” she said. “And I know that I certainly don’t want to support anyone who doesn’t have those missions in mind.”

    Well if not that ignorant little jackass, then maybe the mongrel democrats would like this radical POS muslim bitch that won a seat in Minnesota, who was swore in with the Koran and waved the Palestinian flag at her victory party... and had to show up in court, LITERALLY, the SAME DAY SHE WON to answer for MARRYING HER BROTHER. And do you hear about her on the news? Nope... not even fox news... which I've just about quit watching entirely. I watched about 5 minutes of it this morning and it went on MUTE, and then I just turned it off.

    I don't know what the fuck is going on in Minnesota, but it appears they're almost worse than kullyfornia. And I'm just blown away that there's people that vote for these shit stains. You have to be some real America hating trash, and I mean seriously, AMERICA HATING TRASH.

    There's a war coming. I don't how much more of this shit has to happen before the alarm bells go off, but this shit is going to cause another civil war. This country is on a crash course with another civil war. Wait until the first supreme court case that rules against these muslims infiltrating American politics using their sharia law, and they tell the supreme court to go fuck themselves. What happens then?

    You are right, @pete311. She is young, naive, and idealistic.
    She also has no knowledge of the Constitution, The Laws: United States Code of Federal Regulations (USCFR).

    Her idea of 'Medicare for all' is a slap in the face to all of us who paid in
    to it since we first drew a paycheck. She was not even born when my
    first deductions began in 1967.

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    This knucklehead represents now a large portion of an area JUST below me. I am about 3 towns north of where her representation ends. She gets a fair amount from Queens and then a fair amount from the Bronx.

    Like so many other Democrats that are here in NY, or were, or will come - promise the universe and back and then deliver on like 1% of it, and then the effing idiots here in NY will still vote down the Democrat line election after election.

    I wish her luck in her naive endeavors. Except for trying to shut down ICE.

    Noir - do you denounce any and all unwanted touching of women from men? Do you support Acosta pushing her arm away when she went to remove the mic and go to the next reporter, which is her job?

    Is ANY pushing away of this girl acceptable? Will it now be judged on how "fast" he touched her, and not whether he simply touched and pushed her away?

    I'm curious to see how far this will ultimately go, if anywhere at all. Because all I've seen thus far mostly around is folks defending him, and no one criticizing him at all for touching her. Or that if in the future, men touching/pushing women away should be judged on how quickly they do so.

    Imagine Trump having done the same and touched/pushed one of the women reporters away. OMG, the world would have stopped by now!!

    Where Do Democrats come from? Have you heard this airhead?

    "Where's this money going to come from?"

    "Well, it's just there and ..."

    People voted for her.
