TRADE-OFF

Alexandria OhComeOnNow-NoSentientHumanBeingCanPossiblyBeThatStupid may be dumber than a bag of hammers but at least she's got a thin skin.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took aim at The Wall Street Journal on Thursday after an op-ed writer asserted in a column that the freshman lawmaker encouraged young people to "take pride" in ignorance.

In a column Thursday by Grace Marie-Turner that was shared by the Journal's Twitter account, Turner writes that Ocasio-Cortez "leads a generation of young people to take pride in their ignorance—of the laws of nature, of history, of the Constitution, of the eternal battle for freedom—and still succeed."

"As much as conservatives are aghast at the over-the-top collectivist ideas of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, we cannot ignore the oversize intrigue with this young woman, who has gained instant influence and celebrity," the column continues.

Ocasio-Cortez fired back Thursday in a tweet, writing that the conservative newspaper's editorial board "takes pride in their ignorance of our nation’s history of slavery, Jim Crow, & mass incarceration; willful doubt on the decades of science on climate change; targeting of indigenous peoples, and the classist, punitive agenda targeting working families."

You go, High School.
