admin Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Bears, beets and … the GOP? Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., compared the Republican Party to one of the most well-known television characters over the last decade: Dwight Schrute from NBC’s “The Office.” Ocasio-Cortez likened the GOP to the character because the party has a “technique” to take “dry humor” and “sarcasm” literally and fact check it, she tweeted Sunday. “This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and 'fact check” it,' the freshman Congresswoman tweeted. Like the ‘world ending in 12 years’ thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔@AOC This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it.

The fourteen richest American families (excluding the Koch brothers, so no double-counting) are worth $511 billion. Together, they're worth more than 60% of Americans combined. https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1127270688925134849 … 48.6K 11:01 AM - May 12, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 15.6K people are talking about this The comparison came in response to criticism for her explanation about taxing the rich.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔@AOC Replying to @AOC When we say “tax the rich,” we mean nesting-doll yacht rich. For-profit prison rich. Betsy DeVos, student-loan-shark rich. Trick-the-country-into-war rich. Subsidizing-workforce-w-food-stamps rich. Because THAT kind of rich is simply not good for society, & it’s like 10 people. 7,134 10:43 AM - May 12, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 2,368 people are talking about this “When we say ‘tax the rich,’ we mean nesting-doll yacht rich.
