Incoming Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a list of personal accomplishments on social media over the weekend; saying critics should “admit” they “hold us to a higher standard than others.”
“To all those saying we ‘haven’t accomplished anything’ here’s *some* of 2018:

Cortez found herself in hot-water in recent weeks over a string of subjects; bizarrely suggesting the Pentagon could largely fund her ‘Medicare for All’ proposal and comparing Central American migrants with “Jewish families” fleeing Nazi Germany.
APOCALYPSE NOW? Ocasio-Cortez Says US Has ’10 YEARS LEFT’ Before Climate Armageddon
Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a dire prediction to her fellow legislators this week; warning the United States has just “10 years left” to pass new laws that could avert a “cataclysmic climate disaster.”
The future Congresswoman posted the threat on social media, writing “We have 10 years left to plan and implement a Green New Deal before cataclysmic climate disaster. Reinstating the Select Committee is exactly what we need to do.”
Thank you, @NancyPelosi.

Cortez’ comments come on the heels of her first full week at the US Capitol, where the youngest Congresswoman in US history claimed staffers repeatedly mistook her for an “intern” or “spouse.”
BAD IDEA: Ocasio-Cortez to Debate Economics Professor Over Socialism
Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is set to square off with her Republican opponent in the coming weeks; setting the stage for a philosophical debate between the self-described Democratic Socialist and a former economics professor.
Cortez will face-off against GOP candidate Dr. Anthony Pappas; a former Associate Professor in Economics and Finance at St. John’s University in New York City.
“‘Professor vs Student’ of economics, this debate will offer the first glimpse of the major party candidates as they go head-to-head in the November 6th general election,” said a press release from Pappas’ campaign.
“Pappas is adamantly opposed to [socialism] because it is not an economic model that has worked in world history,” the campaign told the Daily Wire. “She is far away from any rational plan of action or solution.”
“Ocasio-Cortez is relying on a ‘make the wealthy pay for it’ scam which was shown to raise only $2 trillion for her spending spree,” added the campaign.
